Any guidance appreciated!!

Okay this is my first indoor grow and just want everyone's opinion of I should do anything differently until flowering time. I currently have my plant under two CFL spirals and one fluorescent tube. The two CFLs are 4100k 120v and 14 watts and the fluorescent tube is 7800k and is also 120v but only 7 watts. Is this adequate for growing in veg? I will provide the picture of my plant currently taken this morning is only had the first set of leaves and the first set of true leaves on jam 25th and the picture is it today is this appropriate growth for two weeks? Apparently I can't put a picture up but the plant on my profile picture is the picture I earlier talked about sorry for the inconvenience.

more will help reduce stretch if height is an issue for you. You're definitely going to need to flower with a lot more so I would start adding more now and fit as much as you can around the plant until heat becomes an issue. You can keep growing with what you have but youre going to get a pretty lanky plant out of it which is going to have poor results in flower.

If you double the amount of bulbs you have now and then double everything again come flower you'll be good but like I mentioned for best results with cfls you'll want as much as you can possibly fit around the plant without it being too hot.

You will spend allot of money adding more and more cfl bulbs have you considered adding a mars hydro led light I am using the 300 watt led and it only cost 92 dollars with free delivery

So I've not changed anything about the environment that my plant is in and the current picture that is my avatar is the plant I am growing. The plant had its first little round leaves that are already in the seed, and its first set of true leaves on January 25th and it'll be exactly a month later in five days. I describe the lighting I am using in my first post. And I give it sunlight during the days when it's sunny (which hasn't been too often.) because I'm in Ohio. But I've been giving it 24/0 so I feel it should be bigger than it is. But I plan to ease it down to 13/11 so I can continue to grow it in veg and put it out in spring to continue the veg period for longer and then flower just like it should in the later months just to get the most out of it. And I'll bring it back inside if I must if it hasn't fully matured before the cold sets in.

Make it 14/10 at least, 13/11 can still induce flowering. Shortening it will cause it to stretch more so be prepared to have a tree by the time spring actually gets here, could be another month or so with this weather.

Actually, maybe not a tree that soon but eventually you're looking at a monsterous plant... 2 months of indoor veg plus the natural outdoor cycle, you're looking at a pretty hefty plant come August/September

The following pictures from smallest to tallest. . . . is my current plant that had been under everything that I have described in the posts beforehand the first picture is Jan. 25th the second is February 2nd and the third is the 22nd is this adequate growth for that long on 24/0? I plan to harden it off and thanks to the above post I know not to go to 13/11. (Thank you sir) but I've added another cfl for the lower section of the plant.

Not to mention that I've topped it. I actually meant to try to FIM it, but I believe I've topoed it instead. Oops. But it will obviously get bigger as it continues in veg, but it's currently about 15 inches tall. And I read that it's going to get double if not triple in size when it begins flowering and with at least a month and a half to two months of veg left inside alone and all of the natural veg cycle also then the flowering growth spurt how much of ganja am I possibly looking at from thIs little baby. Not to mention I'm not sure if it's female until it flowers. So I'll be slightly angry if I turns out to be a male. But I plan to plant some back ups just in case that's the case. But they won't get as much time to veg as this one. But I'll start them a little early to keep them just small enough to keep in a solo cup or something but this one is probably already in a four or five gallon tub already because it became slightly root bound in a large McDonald's iced coffee cup after a week stay at the hospital. But it has done fantastic since.

Your plants look healthy so far. Just make sure you have a powerful light source before you initiate flowering. You need at Least 50w sq/ft. Try feminized seeds, they will make things easier

The most Important thing indoors is adequate, ambient lighting shining OVERHEAD on the plants. At Least 50w sq/ft, try to go for more.You don't need to worry about "bottom lighting" now (or later) -provided you hear what I'm saying

NICE plant dude......good luck to you

This picture was taken this morning of March 30th. And if anyone has read this post previously, you'll know that I plan to move this lil' momma outside come may when the days are long enough so flowering isn't instant, and it can grow just as it normally would if I actually grew it at the start of the growing season. I've adjusted my lights to about 16/8 and plan to go lower to 14/10 to match the natural light cycle it will be placed into. I've also started collecting rain water, and giving it to her. I just don't know what to expect fully, she's been in veg since Jan 25th so she's just over 2 months old and is topped before I forget to mention. But she was topped at 14 inches and has grown another 16 inches since.

Here's a top shot

So checking up on my little beauty today and she has begun flowering on a 14 hour light schedule so I have currently put her back to a 16 hour schedule on account that she'll be inside for another month until the beginning days of May roll around bye this is an indica we're talking about here so it shouldn't have an issue with a 14/10 hour schedule.

You can see the contrast of the white flower (hairs) against the green stem if you look close enough. I pretty much had to investigate my plant to figure this out glad I was able to catch it so early though and wasn't gone from the house for a long time

Haha, just posted that 14/10 sucks lol. If you wantit to veg get her at 18/6 and dont mess around. Ive also seen some shitty reveg attemps that dont work and the vegging plant always gets put back to 24hrs sun and still wont kick the bud development.

those are just preflowers, doesn't necessarily mean it was flowing... mature plants will show those under any veg photoperiod. Regardless better safe than sorry, no need to skimp out on a couple hours of light

Glad you have a female!

Well thanks everyone I want her to veg the normal outside cycle as well as what she has been in veg inside as well. Glad to know they're just preflowers, but I think I'll keep her on 16/8 just to be safe! I too am happy it's a female, waiting on some good sensimilla! Once again I appreciate everyone being so helpful, I never really noticed preflowers before because all my previous grows were outside and seldomly visited!
