are they ready to flower?

[maggotworshipper]

I have here 2 ak-47 and 2 white widow females. They are about 2+ month old and 27" high (though they have been LST'd so in actuality probably much taller).

Just a few days ago I transplanted them from 3 gal to 4 gal containers. I am wondering how long i should wait before I flip the switch to 12/12. I don't want to get rootbound in the middle of flower but i don't want to end up with a bunch of unused soil either.

imho... flip em! you only went up by 1 gal, so you don't have THAT much more room...

In my humble opinion -- flip them now. Don't know the genetics, but they look Sativa dominant and will probably double in size before they are done.

Peace

flip already!

I see they are AK47 and White Widow -- my AK47 didn't double is size in flower and I have only grown crosses of WW, so I don't really know, but they are certainly big enough to flip now

autoincorrect ya mean lol

thanks guys, i decided to flip them.

hopefully they will not stretch too much. i have less than a couple feet of vertical space left in my tent. i expect i will have to do a lot more tying and bending to keep these girls under control. i will check back when/if i have issues.

take a look at these baby clones, they've been successfully rooted and they're now sitting in soil. i have a single 42 watt cfl 3.5" above them. do you think this is enough light for now? is the light too close or far away? thanks

you can make a reflector out of a soda can, theres a DYI thread about it if you google it. That cfl throws light 360˚ so a reflector will help you get the most out of it.
I have no experience with clones, so I can't help you there...
The reflector may increase your temps, so keep that in mind if you do it.

good luck,
