So i found some seeds in a bag i had and decided to start a grow (legal where i am) 4 seeds one grew. started Sept.1. planted seeds only one grew. Sept 19 transplanted to pot been on 16/8 . 10/19 trans planted to 3 gal. final pot on 16/8 . Nov 8 today will be changing the time form 16/8 to 12/12 . i am flipping it to flower so i dont out grow my tent 2x2x4. will expand later as room permits. My question is did i wait long enough in the veg stage ???? (i have till 6pm pst to decided weather to switch )
 
The amount of time in veg is only dictated by the space you have to flower. Lighting schedule can indefinitely keep a plant in veg, although you'd eventually run into pot size and nutrient issues, but even that can be managed.

Plants can stretch to twice the size they were when you flipped them. Not all will, but some will stretch even more than that. This is when plant training (LST) and scrog nets become handy.

Also keep in mind the amount of space you need to keep the light from the canopy. You need that space and a little more than twice the height of the flipped plant and you should be good. LED lights with a dimmer can be beneficial tight spaces like a 2x2x4. I have a tent that size and the Spider Farmer 1000 light works great for it.

Ty chad my first grow will be unknown since i dont know what the seed was that i planted . My research has me doing autos. Growers choice seeds gorilla glue and and cheese will be my first known grows both indica dominate .flowering time on those are 55-65 days. On this grow i did a little LST if i did it right i think i will have maybe 8 or 10 colas gorwing evenly. Topped it once at early veg. the pic i sent was after i did some LST . i didnt do alot as im just learning and didnt want to over due it for my first time. not really worried about amount more leaning to learning how to grow. setup is 2.3x2.3x63 marshydro tent, ac infinity inline 4in fan , and the sf 1000

Ph is extremely important. If its off your plants cant absorb any nutrients. You're pouring money down the drain
 
Test your ph of water out of the tap. Then test the ph with nutrients mixed in. Amazon sells ph up/down with a test kit for 20 dollars. I highly recommend buying it
 
Updated pics day 29 of flower think she is doing ok
