When to flip to 12/12 - Holiday Dillema's

[The Stoned Jester]

Heya all need some advice here on when to flip do to my circumstances and what would be best for the plant(s).

 

 

here is my grow for reference https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners.com/topic/66121-the-stoned-jesters-2nd-80w-cfl-grow-lushhazeskunk1-x-blueberry/?p=429743

 

so on the 14th of april they will be about 4 weeks old from 'seedling' (first cotyledons showing)

 

now i leave for holidays on the 22nd of April so they will be approx 5 weeks old when i leave, maybe by then they would start to maybe show some pre-flowers?

 

i have people to water/feed the plants no problems, but i want it to have as little interference as possible as they are greener thumbs than me and don't want to make feeding too complicated.

 

ill be gone for about 2 1/2 weeks.

 

SO the question is - Should i flip to the 12/12 flower cycle before i go? or wait that 2 1/2 weeks more vegging then flip? being a small cupboard i don't want it to get out of hand.

If height is an issue and you can't stand any outside interference turning them before you go would likely be the best option.

Mate if thats the size cupboard in ya grow, I would flip em at the latest just before ya go, and then its just flower for  the carers...... Hope ya have a shit hot holiday man.
