Re: are they ready for 12/12 yet??

thx 4 the reply Led, i hve pre flowers on almost all the nodes.... but they just started like 8 days ago, should i go 12/12 alrady or wait a bit more??? i can post some more pictures(if this can help).... again thx 4 replying Led....

They look like they can go to 12/12 now if you want. What kind of plant? If they are auto they will go into flower automaticlly anyway.

What you really want to see is offset nodes that indicate full maturity. Usually you look for this before a mother is ready to clone from or an indoor plant ready for 12/12.

I think the lankyness is from being vegged under HPS, you need some more blue spectrum to get those nodes tighter. I would cut half the height or more and switch to a MH or if your ballast is HPS only get a MH conversion bulb.

Yeah, i would top, fim, or supercrop before putting in 12/12---it will stretch after the switch over

thx again Led and Maer for reply... as its my first time i really don't hve much experience.
this is my second plant,the 1st one, before, did very well in veg stage but they never produce bud.... please help me here

i'm not from U.S.A i don't have any kind of facilities for growing, like lights and fertiliserz etc... i have a HPS(400 watt) which i'm using for the babies....

I read the response about "offset nodes". This may be a better way but I have also updated the conditions forcing flowering by going to 12/12 after the plant reached 12 inchs. I am still learning but here are a few sites to get you in some direction.. good luck
Plant is 3in tall and has alternating nodes? good?

Forcing flower is forcing, for the purpose of growing in a small space. Alternating nodes means the plant has reached sexual maturity which will give the max harvest from the plant. This maturity is passed on to clones which are usually the starting point for 12" to flower grows.
