quick questions...

permalink
sweet... so i got back and my plants are fine... a few of the older leaves got a little yellow but the plant itself is fine... I also transplanted it in to a sterlite box that has 69liters of soil volume... the plants are growing well... but i have two questions...

#1 do old leaves die to leave room for the budding branches sprouting out of the side of the stem?
#2 How long will it take for the plant to mature... its in the vegetative state right now...

THanks again guys,
Best,

no, leaves do not die to make room for buds.

u have to make the plant go into flower. so u probably have ur light on 18/20/24 hours a day. switch to a flowering light (red spectrum 2700k or close to) and put them on for 12 hours a day and 12 off.

1.) no sir, leaves don't do that.
2.) maturity is reached when you see staggered internodes. you can put them into flower w/o being fully mature. in fact, if you have height restrictions, you'll want to flower them before mature. i usually go to flower when the plants are around 12".
