This is my first grow. White Widow, AK47, and Bubblegum. Thinking about flipping in a couple weeks. Anything special I should be doing leading up to the flip?

Totally agree! A friend told me to fill the buckets 3/4 of the way. Not great advice Tough to access the lower growth and I've had to really work at opening up the center to get airflow in there. It's working out fine, but they'll be full next time. I'm using the Advanced Nutrients 3 part system plus Cal Mag. Tablespoon of each per gallon.Looks great, really nice.
Yes bone up on your IPM to make sure you are pest free.
Do you have any nutes on hand?
only other thing I see and you prolly shouldn’t monkey with it now any but it looks like your plant is growing in a bowl where’s there’s not much air flow… next time fill your buckets very near the top, it’s more dirt for her to much on and less wasted bucket space, plus it facilitates having a fan moving air near the soil line which deters flying critters like fungus gnats

Nice looking plants there buddy!! Good job! If I were to suggest anything it would be chop all the lower insignificant larfy lower shoots off as @013 stated! Since you plan to flip in about 2 weeks, that will giver her ample time to recover from the stress of a lollipoping. Not sure of your nutrients or schedule for them, but give her a little extra dose of nitrogen right before you flip to 12/12 as she will rapidly consume it during the fast growing of the pre flower stretch! Good luck on flowering. Keep us updated, I see good things in about 8-10 weeks!!This is my first grow. White Widow, AK47, and Bubblegum. Thinking about flipping in a couple weeks.

Ah, the life of a farmer. Gotta plan around the life of the plants since they will not plan around our schedules. Definitely leave some wiggle room in the time it will take to finish the growing. Then add in for the harvest, the drying and the curing.We are headed to Europe in late June so I kind of need everything buttoned up by then. Want to give myself a little wiggle room too. Are there things I should do prior to flipping? Defoliate, etc? I've been doing LST, supercropping, etc. Seems to be paying off
I always defoliate 2 weeks before I flip to 12/12 flower stage. Just to give her ample time to heal from previous defol. But I also have done a trim and defoliate 7 days prior to a flower stage lighting. With no problem. Basically let her heal up for 10-12 days after defoliate before flippin her! Hope that helps ya Buddy!How long after a slight defoliation should I wait to flip the plants to flower?
