Should I Wait to Flower?

She's 6 weeks old from seed, 10" tall. I've heard a lot of different things. Like, wait till the nodes are alternating, wait till she's 12" or whatever. 6 weeks seems kind early though.

My grow tent is only 5 feet tall, if that makes a difference.

The problem is I have 2 other plants in the same tent that are a bit younger.
They're about 6-7". I don't want to mess them up by forcing flowering too early.

Should I just hold off and wait until the small ones catch up more before I start 12/12?

Opinions & advice are very much appreciated! Thanks!

I think your only concern is the size of your tent...people always say a plant can triple in height during flowering...but I've never seen them stretch that much - even sativas. Is that 5' with the light? I don't think you need to flower her now - I'd give the others a chance to grow. Assume she will at least double in height during flower and work from there. Even then, you can tie her down if she gets too tall.

Good Luck

PS - she looks perfect! Good job!

Thanks so much! I'm so happy to hear that, I'm trying my best to keep her alive. I'll follow your advice and wait till they're all a bit bigger.
I know my tents small, but I'm only growing for personal use and I live in a small apartment, so I'll make it work somehow!

Hey...I grow in a midget's shower stall and I have more weed than I can smoke. I used to be nervous about them getting too tall - but I haven't even come close yet...after many grows. Go ahead and experiment with how tall you can get them...worst case - you'll have to tie it down towards the end of your grow - best case: big ass plants!

Hahahaha
