Should I flip them into flower?

Hello
I’m growing two plants in a fridge and I’m unsure if I should flip them into flower. my total possible plant height in the fridge would be around 60cm(24"). these are in day 55 after sprouting and with the training their height is around 25cm now.
Have no idea if it’s a right number but I aimed for 30cm to flip, horizontal space seems to be more of an issue :confused:
the right plant has shorter internodal spacing and I had to bend the left one multiple times to compensate for the height difference. any advice on training if I’m doing anything wrong is also highly appreciated.
Regards.

Looking good man might as well flip since you have limited headspace. Can always super crop down the road if they get unruly

Yeah flip ‘em. Bad luck you get tall monsters. Good luck it’s perfect.

All the best.

Yes, the space is small so flip now. I would personally trim each branch so that there are only 3 nodes per branch… the growing tip and two below it. Then I would do it again 10 days after flipping… that produces large nuggs while minimizing larf.

I vote for flipping as well. Good luck!

thanks for the tip on trimming. since it is my first growth that has reached this level of development I’m just getting familiar with the plant’s anatomy. I was quite unsure about the exact point you mentioned. very helpful :pray:

I would flip too, hopefully they get the perfect amount of stretch for you.

What is the ideal situation? to have the plants grow as tall as possible or is it the horizontal coverage that is more important and we should aim for the maximum coverage regardless of height?

Also I’m not quite sure about the temperature and vpd oscillations i will add graph of both temperature and vpd over the course of a typical 24h. spikes in the graphs are for the moments i opened the fridge door. are these any good in term of temp and vpd stability or is it too oscillating?
Forgot to metion that lights where on from 18:00 to 12:00 and due to not having a heater inside plants experience a temperature drop during the night.

Just remember they will double in size when you flip so you will be pushing it close if you wait too long

Tnx, I already changed it to 12/12 after all the comments advised for a flip.

Nice stealth grow. Looks like you have the ability to move the plants down a level or two? If so that will come in handy for the stretch during flower.

It depends what you’re doing but I tend to want both for maximum canopy usage.

Thanks.
Yes, because the light i made was before planning for a fridge and It is bigger than could be hanged, I had to fix the light and move the plants instead. 60cm I mentioned is for the plants at the lowest position and with about 20cm clearance to the light.
from bottom of the fridge to lights is about 100cm, root chamber is about 20cm in height.
