@smokeymcpot It's best to leave them alone for 3 weeks after flipping them, I usually wait 22 days after flipping before I remove any leaves. If you stress them when they're going through the stretch it can cause them to stretch even more.
I think it was 22 days that @Woodi2 told me you had to wait untill the stretch was over and it was safe to start removing leaves again 🙂

I think it was 22 days
Yep, the number is typically 21 days to wait so trimming on day 22 works great. The key is to make certain the stretch phase is completely over before taking out the clippers. I’ve been successful going as soon as 14 days for some strains but 20-22 is probably the safest bet.

@monkeydo Ahh it maybe was 21 he said, I was thinking it would be 3 weeks and one extra day for luck.lol 🙂

Yeah Man 21+ days is good, I got a plant atm that is showing soooo much sex-pistils everywhere and she not even flipped yet!!! This girl wants to party! Then I've had others go for almost 2 weeks after flipping before they start showing pistils and then they slowly-lazily go into flower at their own fucking pace. So the 21 day/3 week time period allows for the slow and fast one's and kind of blankets the whole mess, IMO. I've waited till day 26 and everyone lived, I've also done nothing at all, everyone lived. I've also defoliated during stretch and used the stretch to help even and flatten out scogs too so do as you want, it's your plant. Colder night temp will increase stretch too. Good luck man. 👍
@woodi2 thanks bro the colder nights could be the issue lol im north u.k im getting 15°c lights off and about 24/25°c lights on

@smokeymcpot, then except some stretch and flip them sooner than later. Figure on your plant going berserk and tripling in size and don't forget you'll need room for your light too, so do that math and that will help you decide when to flip. Also cut out the nitrogen too if possible after you flip them.
@woodi2 aw man i hope these dont triple but also do hahah im using a mix off 4 4 4 and 2 8 4 at a 70/30 mix was going to change this to 50/50 that a bad idea also is it to late to add kelp and bat gauno
