Ok its about 1 month in and i just toped them today. I know I need to wait before I go into flowering. My question is how long do you think I should wait?

Depends ona couple things, like how much space u got to work with, and how much light u have to offer. Looks like some decent node spacing there too, nice to see someone not stretching and burning their plants to shit. Anyway, all i can telll ya without more info is that ur plant will at least double in size during flowering, which means more space, and more light along the way.

your plants look extremely healthy, the branches and nodes coming in great.
Keep them going for maybe another week or so. Let the topping do its thing.

They double, sometimes on diff occations tripple in size. So when to flower really depends on how much light you can give it and how big you would like it to be.

Dear Noob if you have just top your girls(hopefully) you should wait so that they will recover after having there fucking heads chopped off. Dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with topping, It creates more budsisghts, encourages growth and will
shorten your plant but fatten @ the same time. Just takes a little time to recover.
But in reality you just chop off thier fucking little heads.............Now how do you feel????Let me know and keep smoking..

wrong ballast? that sucks. U should get u a hps ballast as well, then u could use the mh for veg where its most desireable, then for flower switch the ballast and the bulb and ur in there

too many diff theories on if a mh or hps is better for flowering or vegging. just get a hps(cause their slightly better in general) and see what happens.
I think you'll be better off with a hps than an mh.
