For 5-7 gallon containers we recommend not to vegetate longer than 4 weeks after the transplantation to avoid root-bound issues, to put cannabis plants into flowering stage you will need to switch or “flip” the light schedule to 12/12.
Most cannabis plants usually take upto 2 weeks after the flip to enter their flowering stage. During this 2 weeks period, the plants will stretch up mostly about 50% from their original height. All foliar sprays should be stopped at this point to avoid any moisture on the flowers, which could lead to mold and bud rot.
It is also important to make sure that they are in complete darkness during their lights off hour and not to disturb them. Our recommended temperature in the flowering stages is 23-24°C with 45-50% relative humidity.
