Plant height question

[frosown]

On a photoperiod plant, I was curious if you just wanted to make the plant say a short 20-24 in, could you just veg for 1-2 weeks than switch light schedule over to 12-12 to make it begin to flower/show sex? I've only grown auto flowers so i'm not entirely sure on how that would work. Any input is helpful

IMO you can veg a plant to whatever hieght you want, switch the light to 12/12 and it will flower and show sex. I think i`m right
somebody tell me if i`m wrong.

Peace & Great Growin`

Yeah you could do that, I had a 2 inch clone that flowered and the whole thing became 1 nug.

Yes its up to you when you want to flip to flower. how ever i would wait until the plants show signs that they are mature (ready for flowering)

Like this

For this to happen it took me about 40days from seed.

keep in mind that your plants will increas a great amount in height when flipped to 12/12, any were from 50%-200% depending on strains and pot size. so if you have a max height that your plants can not grow taller then, i would keep the plants in small pots for about 2-3 weeks, and then repot to bigger pots and let them grow to desired height before flipping.

some info on your room could help us to give you some nice advice for your grow =)

You're completely correct. I typically recommend getting them to 12 inches then flowering.

from seed, u need to veg long enough to show sexual maturity, size is not what matters. from cutting u can go straight 12/12.

Indeed, it needs enough stored up energy to be able to make sex cells without completely depleting its reserves in the process..
