Should I flip to 12/12

Hi what do you guys think
The guy in the grow shop said flip to 12/12.

Original big buddha cheese 1.2 1.2 meter tent.

6 15 litre pots 4 and half weeks in tent.

Was on window sill for 10 days in rock wall after seed popped.

Tallest plant is 16 inchs

Shortest plant is 7 inch tall

The rest are around 12 to 16 inches tall

I think there's enough space to put plants in 30 liter pots but hydro shop guy said he thinks i should just flip it to 12/12.

Also 3 plants need feeding once a day the rest of the plants can go 2 days before soil drys out.

Whats your take on it guys to flip or not to flip that is the question?

Here's a few pictures

From what I can see your plants look good.You could flip them now if you are going run out of room.However, you will get a greater yield if you let them develop more and just an extra week could make all the difference.Keep in mind your plants are going to double in size in first few weeks after the flip so be sure to take your light into consideration when you decide if you have the room to keep them in veg.Good luck and keep up the good work...

Thank you bro. I threw the scraggy one out at the back to create more room. I really should of only had 4 15 litre pots in the tent. There's 5 in there now.

What do you mean by take the light into consideration?.

Btw they are still in veg. Might flip them on Monday.

Your light takes away from your over all height in your tent.When your light is raised all the way up. The maximum height of the plant should not be less than 20" from the bulb.Does that make sense?

So,you want to make sure not to let them get to tall during veg so they do not grow too close to your light

There bbc bro they dont grow very tall they grow more I width then hight. But I think I know what you was saying. Thanks

I'grew bbc for a year or so and they can get pretty tall if u let them........those plants look pretty congested if I were u I'd do some training on them......open them up a bit with some lst,pinching and topping......search u tube if u don't no wot I'm saying.......do this for another 2 weeks and I'll guarantee u a far better yeild......

I've topped all of them. Do you not think 2 weeks is too long I'll show you a pic in real time now

U could flower them now .......but......by using the techniques I mentioned like LST (low stress training)tying some of the bigger branches apart allowing light to penetrate deep or pinching which will encourage lower nodes to push through ....also...u should trim the bottom branches away that would only produce popcorn buds to allow all the energy and light to reach to the bigger branches that will eventually reward u with the big thick buds I no the BBC can produce.....

When you say trim the bottom branches away do you mean just the bottom row of branches or a few of the rows. Also is there a paticular instru ment you would reccomened trimming with? Thank you

Just the smaller lower stuff that's not going to receive any light........scissors will cut them clean....

Mate its starting to get abit crowded. Do you think I should throw a plant out? Or flick it to 12/12 now?

Theyre not too crowded where they are fighting for light and stretching
I would personally throw them in flower because they will most likley double in size. They look very good my dude!
Just tossin in my 2 cents

Thank you brother

I would not throw nothing out, those plants look very good. I would start flowering before I threw out any good looking plants like you have.Who knows what could happen?You might need that plant if something go wrong.
