New York Power Diesel Germinated 10/22 (4 plants 2 larger, 2 mid-size/small) about to start flowering under HPS/LED tonight good idea or bad (first grow):

If you have the space then wait if not flower!

You have some very promising plants there!

If you veg them longer you will get a better yield. You can certainly flower them if you wish.

Agree - you can flower them easily. As long as the plants are mature (around 7-8 sets of leaves) you can flower it. It's really just a matter of how much space you have. The bigger the plant is before it goes 12/12 the bigger the yield will be. Those plants will probably give you an ounce or so per plant. They will probably be close to 3 feet before finishing the stretch.

Info: 1000W MH is what they are under right now. There is a 1000W HPS standing by, with a 500W LED (UV Flowering) on standby for supplemental for when the plants get larger. They are in 5 gallon pots. Soiless mix, bontanicare/jacks classic nutes, molasses, and humic acid. pH is a touch high 7.0, but im not too worried. I just flushed them last night to rid them of excess salts (as well as to knock down the pH a bit). Here are some more pics to give you a relative size. I just don't want these babies getting higher than 45" is all. I will be bending the shit out of them, and I have started super cropping some of the longer off shoots to pull them sideways. The two short ones are stunted from some issues in early vegging, the middle one has been LST'd for probably 2 out of 4 weeks of its life, that probably why its off shoot branches are so well developed compared to the rest of the group. The big one has just started to grow like hell out of no where, so I decided to try to rein it in with some pipe cleaners to give time for the others to catch up a bit. Here are the pics. (That is your average sized spray bottle of Garden Safe Fungicide 3)

By explosive growth I mean this (which is probably normal, but Im a newb and impressed with everything):

If I wait a week (which was my original plan - start flower on dec-1), my only fear is that this guy will be like 24 inches when going into flower.

bump! bump!

Why do you bump? - i don't see any questions - just a lot of telling about your plants which is great, but nothing to bump the thread for. If it's because you just want somebody to tell you how good you're doing - hell i'll do that then. Nice grow, but make a grow journal in that category if you just want to tell about your grow ;O)
