Thank you for the cfl information. Also I have the preflowers and thanks for the picture, but they have been there since the plant was about 5 or 6 inches tall , it was a clone from a plant that i grew from a seed and I transplanted it into a 5 gallon bucket and then she died about 4 days later do to the wrong soil; that i transplanted her into it was just regular planting soil and it killed her quick but I wasn't on here to ask back then but i managed to take a clone off her before she died totally from the top of the plant that died last and this is the plant I have now. she is a great strain not sure but a friend gave me the seed from some stuff that she had and my wife smoked it and loved it i think it was some kind of indica, anyway the clone survived and it had already had the preflowers on it but now at about 20 inches tall and about 20 inches wide or round at it biggest width it has a lot more of the preflower parts and the pistols are getting bigger. But I wanted to tell you that I brought the plant outside and have been since the beginning at 6am 1st light and brought her in at 8pm last of the light and I brought her in because of the animals that come around here at night I have a fenced in very big property but I would get some very big animals like raccons and possom etc and I didn't want them Fking with it. So I put it by the back door with the window open but no light and she started to grow just on the main colas like they were stretching and they were growing very fast and the rest of the plant was just getting full of little leaves so she really filled out and stretched out. then i talked to someone on here and they said it was possible that she was starting to flower and I said i want her to grow more and flower much later and he said to make sure the lights were left on at night so that the plant would think it was still outside in the light but like a rainy day even though it was just a 100 watt regular incandescent bulb, it seemed to stop the intence growth of the colas and then the whole plant grew very fast altogether now it is growing evenly and it was only grew really fast for a few days and after the light i started going on here and asking about all the grow lights because as i think you said or someone else said that I should put it on 24/0 if i want her to grow and not flower and someone farmerboi sent me that awesome post about plants and 24/0 or 20/4 light and that is when i found out that i needed a grow bulb so when it gets here from amazon.com a 6500K 105 watts cfl and I put it over the plant is that going to cause any sexual problems like hermiing? or will it be a good thing and cause it to grow better, faster and bigger and then switch it to 12/12 and then she should start budding and then I would only have to have her outside for the 12 hours and maybe i will buy a metal halide or a hps bulb for budding. or just use the sun? I mean is there anything beter than the sun? or will that be fine because those bulbs and ballast are expensive and I don't want to go crazy. it is only for me and my wife I don't need 2 pounds. I also wanted to get another clone off this plant if it is not too late.(If she is going to start flowering it is too late to clone correct?) So If you need pictures let me know !!! and Thank You so much for answering all of these questions along with everyone else. I really do appreciate it. next grow will be that much easier after learning all of this. Thank you to all for the help, BB2112!!!!
