At 28-30" of plant space you are going to want to send them to flower around 12-13". I see alternating leaves so she is ready when you are. The longer you wait the bigger the buds will be.

haha, Mine didnt look like this when I started either. Your room will get there.
Yep my plan was to flower about 12-13", Shes getting there alot sooner then I was thinkin tho.
Explain to me what alternating leaves are please? Thanks.
It's when the leaves don't grow right across from each other. Sort of like a plant version of puberty! LOL!

Haha I see, Thanks for explaining that. So I am guessing I will be flowering her by Saturday or Sunday at the latest.
Sounds good. Are you going to continue veg nutes for a couple of weeks? I do because it helps stop the leaf drop you get on the change to 12/12. Things happen inside the plant and it starts building buds and it needs some raw material and without some extra N if will take what it needs from the lowest leaves and works it way up.
I do it for 2 weeks and then switch suddenly. By that time the plant has figured everything out and the leaf drop is minimal. It still uses the leaves for the N it needs and they will yellow and die as the plant matures. You're just trying to save some fuel in the fuel tanks to build those big buds.

Alright guys today is day 21 VEG and she is BUSHY. There is a handful of roots coming out the bottom of the net pot now, So hopefully by next weekend or the following I can pull the pump out.
I am planning on starting the flower cycle today, She is about 11.5" tall. should be 23-24" when shes done and that is a good height for me. I am taking some advice from a couple members and running only my Micro, Grow, And Bloom nutes for the first 2 weeks of flower. I did a RES change today and the PPM is 1100 and PH is 5.6.
She is already smelling skunky
. Went and got some ONA today, Been wanting to try it out. We will see how well it gets rid of the smell.
On to the Pics, Enjoy!

Alright guys and gals, weekly update. She has really started to BUSH out alot now. And she is looking very Green and healthy. She is 17" tall with a 21" canopy at the widest and 19" at the narrowest. There is about a dozen roots coming out the net pot about 8-10" now. I wanted to take a pic but didnt have anyone here to take the pic while I held her up. Still only using my grow, micro, bloom nutes for one more week.
