Looks like it was a bit stunted before it got under the HPS... but its big enough to start flowering now if you want to. Good rule of thumb is that the plant will at a minimum double in size during flowering. Keeping that in mind and your grow space, you can flower anytime you want. The longer you let it veg the more youll get in the end, generally. And you could probably get away with flowering in that pot, but ideally a bigger pot would be best.

Flower it now or once you get your 400watt light. it's very stretched out looking but it is looking gorgeous i must say, It's going to stretch again when you flower it!
Wat size pot is it in just now?
Is that a Full Sativa strain dude?

yea senor, i will be transplanting all my plants very soon. what makes it stunted? and its just now starting to show the white hairs, (the 2nd dark picture).
when i transplant it can i raise the dirt on the stock to make it a tad shorter and room to grow in my space

Ya growing can be a wonderfull experience, I'm loving it, its like an ever going learning curve its deadly..
Ya def think you can but that into flowering once you get that light, shouldn't be a problem at all..
The sativas get very large once flowering so your gonna have to make sure you have the room for it and as for your pots i'd say re-pot them into 25L pots are bigger, but in doing this you are going to see an increased jump in Flowering

Happy Growing Dude

Ya 25 Litre dude, I use 11Litre pots through veg and then put them into 20-25litre pots depending on my space left.

Sure is a 5 gallon pot not the same as a 25 litre pot?

Does 1 Gallon not equal @5 Litre?

sup mike, easier to just hit u up on here. Stunted growth can be caused by a few things, mainly being rootbound. What do u mean 'more sativa?' 3rd pic looks like indica to me, but someone please correct me if im wrong, Indica's have a generally wider leaf as opposed to a sativa's skinny leaf. I'm not too sure on that one, but being one or the other affects ur flower/harvest time. Sativas will take 12+weeks to flower though, indicas 10-ish. u can manipulate that head high u spoke of as well by simply waiting. Wait for the trichomes(the crystals) to turn about 50%amber and u'll get the ole' couch lock high. Havest when they are all cloudy, and it'll give u the more head high.

ive read nothing is pure sativa indica anymore, but idk what is it exactly im still a newbie lol. its tall (sativa) but the leaves are long and thick. you know more than i do so ill take your word on whatever you guys think lol.

but yeah, ill be testing the buds as they mature to see when i want to harvest (thats good right.. lol)

lol:leaf:
Thought that alright dude, no worries
That will be a good pot for your plant to extended it's root system and flower you with gifts in time to come....

Hope it all works out good for you dude!!

Hey there mike, your plant looks party indica or leaning that way. The plant looks well, it may have stretched due to a small container or the light being a little too far away from the top. Also, If you want to flower her now, don't change the container. If you want to grow her for another two or three weeks before flowering, then transplant her now! :)

Do a nice, smooth transplant and the plant will hardly even know it happened. I've heard not to transplant right before flowering, but I've never noticed a problem or difference doing it either way. They'll love the room to spread their roots and the fresh medium without any salt build-up. Put a 400 on that single plant and you can get some nice nugs for sure, even if it stretched for a bit in the beginning... as long as its a girl. :bigjoint:
