Ok so i have one plant that is deff a female and it is about a week ahead of the other three.

It is ready to flower and i dont have enough space to let the others catch up.

Will the other three continue to veg and then flower or will they just start flowering when i switch to 12/12?

btw its a 400w hps on 18/6 cycle of day 28

Once you go to 12/12 they will all start to flower.

as soon as u start 12/12 all the plants under the light will start the flowering process reagardless of ther height.
if u want the others to veg a bit whilst u flower the otha 1 i wud suggest gettin a normal fluro or sum energy savers jus to keep em tickin till ur ready.

but if it was me i wud jus flower them all 2getha and jus do abit of lst to keep all in check.

a cupl of pictures would hav been better bro so i cud c how far along they are.

yield is directly related to veg time, so yields will suffer

2 Cents ..

leave lights on 24/0 .. I remeber reading an article that stated if light are on 24/0 compared to 18/6 the plants grow 33% Faster..

AS soon as you SWITCH to 12/12 the plant will think "hey its gunna be fucking cold out so i better flower to make some babies."

Does not matter if plant is 1inch tall or 10ft tall when flowerin is initiated..

ok dude this is gonna sound radical,

some crazy out there shit.

im talkin blow your brain kinda stuff.

some seriously deep facts with mind numbing implications.

get some string, and tie the top down.
just bend that bitch right over and have your way with her.
im talkin up, down, sideways, some zigzags, and a little wheelbarrow.

(fyi) all this shit sounds alot funnier while im doing my Arnold Schwarzenegger accent

dude just flower them all, im using a 400w hps and flowered after 25 days when they were about 10" high, dont have much height available so was very worried about space but 11 days into flowering they arent stretching too much, just make sure u keep ur 400w about 6 inches away max from plants, ensure u have a decent fan (s) blowing between light and cannopy and you will be fine with heat issues.

You really won't lose that much yield if they are just one week behind they will continue to grow once you go into 12/12 and start to flower! You have a good light set up and you have to do the best you can with what you got! Honestly I think you be ok just going ahead!

you can always change them out... at different times...however when you switch to 12/12 all are going to flower...you can always use the LST or SCROG method
