How to switch to 12/12?????

I have 3 plants Jock horror (confirmed female) Vegging for 83 days Short Rider Confirmed female) vegging for 66 days and Black Jack 4 weeks no sign of sex yet but fem seed. I only have one room I want to switch to 12/12 but this is as far as i've gotten ever in a grow. Should I switch now or wait longer for the BlackJack. I am using GH Flora Series nutes on all. I dont know how to switch the nutes!! can some one please help me?? https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/196661-2nd-grow-cfl-fem-jock.html

i started 12/12 at 3 weeks old. I say go for it

Alot of growers will provide a step by step procedure, a way of doing it gradually, might even suggest a FLUSH.

I say JUST DO IT! Switch the Lights to a timer, and put them on 12/12. After one week, switch nutes from VEG nutes to FLOWERING nutes.

hey guys thanx for the replys! Do you think my yeild will be alright for my personal consumption out of three weeks of veg?

What are you going to do?

The LONGER the VEG Cycle, the more Yield.

Consider this, in nature, outdoors, we plant a seed in mid to late April. It grows through April, May, June, July, and in mid to late July, as the sun's rays change, the plant naturally changes from VEG to FLOWER, with the diminishing sun's rays. That is nature's way. The plant grows and matures to an adult plant for about 3 to 4 months. THEN, it makes flowers. That is nature's way.
Indoors, in HYDRO with feeder tubes, we cut that time in half, by using 24/7 LIGHT. instead of 3 months, or 13 weeks, it takes about 6 weeks to become a mature plant in HYDRO, with 24/7 LIGHT.

OK, also in nature, we see most animals and humans reproduce at maturity or adulthood. If a human, (or dog or any animal) is forced to make babies before maturity, like getting a 12 yr old girl pregnant, then the babies are weak, or runts, or deformed, and just not at their best.
A dude here, a most experienced, knowledgable grower named fdd2blk (and a MOD here too) taught me a long time ago, that it does not make sense, it is not wise, it is not logical, to make a child have a child, and it is not wise or smart or logical to make an immature baby plant, have babies. LET THE BABIES GROW AND LET THE ADULTS MAKE BABIES.

If you will VEG for 5 weeks, to 6 weeks, you will have more time for proper TOPPING, PRUNING, AND FIMMING, and you'll get bigger plants, and you will also have a mature adult plant, ready to make healthy, stronger babies (flowers) .

If you begin Indica Flowering, after VEGGING 3 or 4 weeks, you will harvest about 60% to 75% of what you would have harvested, IF you had waited and VEGGED for 5 or 6 full weeks.

This info applies to rapid growing in Hydro, and to Indica strains. NOT slowly in SOIL, and NOT Sativa.

I average 3 to 4 ounces per plant, VEGGING 5 to 6 weeks, and I have gotten 7 ounces from one plant, the one you see at my signature. I got that with planned, proper Topping and Pruning and Fimming, and creating more tops or cola sites.


If you need info with pics on Topping, Pruning, or Fimming, let me know.

I understand that Hydro Is honeslty the way to go if you want fast results. My soil grows are definitaly growing at a slooow pace but I've been vegging them for almost 3 months so I hope the yeild is good. Im using all CFLs I dont have the cash for a ballest yet I got MH bulbs but no ballest, and another reason I havnt went that route is becasue of heat issues. I would like more info about stuff on topping, pruning and Fimming. Im so scared that im gonna ruin my babys by trainning them in these ways. But maybe you can teach me a little more about it. My next grow Im gonna probably go with all hydro. At first i was very intimidated by it but after i seen how well my blackjack is doing and smelling at such a young age. I need a little help with the nutes to if possiable Im changing the reservior out on saturday and im still on 1/2 strength nutes at the seedling stage on the GH Flora series nute Simple recirculation program. I want to yeild enough to last me through another grow im decied im not going to take clones from any of these, its very tempting though I will on my next grow. I want to test my smoke off these three strains first. By the way my setup has changed dramticaly from my origianl start on this grow. I went from semi stelth to all out turning my closet in to a grow room. But heat during my sleeping time is a HUGE issue. Cause i close the doors I cant sleep with the sun shinning in my face ! So any tips on some simple none permant workarounds will help to! Thanks a million!
