if its an auto you can veg till it starts to show or when you feel its at a good hight a strong stem i'ed give her a month. and imo cfl arn't that good for flowering watt for watt hps kicks its ass

how long did it take from seed under the red light? was it a good smoke?
i tried a lowryder once under the red light and it was terrible. just kept stretching and stretching, eventually i threw it away.

"IMO" no the buds are of good Quality but not as dense. the light doesn't have the penetrating quality as hps does. and plants seem to stretch more . they may be good for a low rider plants but i would invest in some hps IMO good luck

it only stretched because the cfl lamps are supposed to be about 2-3 inches above the top of the plants, im doin 4 g-o-m's atm under a 125w PURple spec bulb and theyre din great, i can leave the light on 24/7 until the grow is done :)

u can grow with just the 6500k spectrums the whole grow or just 2700k from start to harvest but its not reccomended , i would just grow with half blue half red spectrum the whole grow, and maybe at like week 4 put in extra 2700k in
