CFL grow: Flower these soon?

You can see the type of light I'm using in the pics, will be flowering with cfls too.

Using 2 - 105 watt cfls.


Think I should wait any longer to start 12/12?

Looking for the best yield for my time.


So far it's been vegging for just over a month, transplanted once.

This is bag seed but I've grown it previously and its stable.

Looks good! Those are fluorescence not Cfl in the pic. Plants look good for bag seed though. I would start now so you get stretch so more light gets in thecplant since there bushy.

I wait for at least till first preflowers.
I cant see any pistils, if any then you are ready to go

Thanks a lot, no preflowers yet you are correct.

I may still switch it in a couple days because they aren't in a whole lot of soil and in my past experience the lower parts of the plant died off if I grew it to tall.

Hard decision not sure how much weight I'd gain by waiting for preflowers.

I'll try to hold off a bit.

I change 18 to 12 in 4-5 days to imitate nature. So, I think it would be ok if you change it, something in the middle
like 16/8 - 15/9 - 14/10
*less likely to stress plant
*slower growing

I switched my cfl grow to 12/12 at 30 days vegging.... Check it out in my sig.

Im very pleased with how my girls are going..

P.s ya plants look great and i say if you have time and height constraints put them girls into 12/12.

Well thanks for all responses, I kind of am tempted to let em grow because some are still smaller (but then again I'm killin for some decent smoke).


I have one more question, I'm going to be out of the house for a couple days for a wedding next month. My plants will be in flowering by then for sure, will they freak out if i turn the lights out for 48 hours? I guess just hope for the best. haha... My temps are not to high or anything I just don't like it running when I'm not there. Maybe I'll just leave less lights on.

They will be fine, some people start our that way to jump start flowering.

my recommendation is get a timer for 15 bucks
