Flip Day (12/12) Checklist

Switching to flower is a big moment. Do everything on this list the day you flip and you'll avoid the most common flowering problems.

Flip Day Checklist0%
1
Light Leak Audit
The #1 cause of hermies
✓
Enter grow space during dark period — close door, wait 5 min for eyes to adjust
✓
Check for ANY light coming in: zippers, vent holes, power strip LEDs, timer lights
✓
Cover ALL indicator LEDs with electrical tape (power strips, fans, controllers)
✓
Seal light leaks around zippers, vent openings, and seams with tape or fabric

⚠️ Even a small light leak during the 12hr dark period can cause hermaphroditism (nanners/pollen sacs). This ruins your harvest. Take this step seriously.

Light Schedule Change
Set your timer
✓
Set timer to 12 on / 12 off — verify it's correct, double-check
✓
Choose your dark period wisely: lights off during hottest part of day (summer) helps with cooling
✓
Increase light intensity if you've been running lower — flower wants 600-900+ PPFD
✓
Note today's date — this is "Flip Day" / "Day 1 of Flower" for your calendar
3
Nutrient Swap
Switch from veg to bloom
✓
Transition to bloom nutrients — higher P and K, lower N
✓
Week 1 of flip: use half veg / half bloom mix as transition (optional)
✓
Continue CalMag — don't stop just because you flipped
✓
PK booster ready for weeks 3-5 of flower (don't add yet, just have it)

💡 Don't go zero-nitrogen in early flower. The plant still needs N during the stretch (weeks 1-3). Full bloom-only feeding starts around week 3-4.

4
Canopy & Training
Last chance before the stretch
✓
Trellis net or SCROG in place? Install now if not already — you need it for the stretch
✓
Tuck or weave branches through trellis to even the canopy
✓
Last defoliation: remove large fan leaves blocking bud sites (lollipop lower 1/3)
✓
Mark current height — plants will stretch 50-200% in the first 2-3 weeks of flower

⚠️ The "flower stretch" is real. Sativas can double or triple in height. Make sure you have headroom, or supercrop tall branches now.

5
Environment Adjustment
Flower needs different conditions
✓
Target humidity: 45-55% in flower (lower than veg to prevent mold)
✓
Temperature: 75-82°F lights on, 65-72°F lights off
✓
Check VPD targets for flower stage on your VPD chart
✓
Ensure good airflow through and above canopy — mold prevention starts now
✓
Carbon filter verified working — smell will intensify significantly in 2-3 weeks
6
IPM & Prevention
Last preventive spray window
✓
Preventive pest spray NOW — this is your last safe window for neem/sulfur
✓
Inspect for pests — check undersides of leaves, stem joints, soil surface
✓
Set up sticky traps near soil level if not already in place
✓
Start weekly pest scouting schedule — use the Pest Scouting SOP every 7 days

⚠️ No neem oil after buds form. From this point forward, only use flower-safe IPM (Dr. Zymes, Purecrop1, Lost Coast Plant Therapy).

Great flowers start with great genetics. Premium seeds from 80+ breeders.
