plant flowering at 5weeks old

ok heres the deal, i have a 5 week old plant on 18/6 lighting. for lighting i have 4 3ft 20watt (80watts) plant/aquarium fluorescent. im useing fox farms ocean forest organic soil and some fox farm fertilizer (grow big and big bloom). the plant is about 1foot 8inchs tall. its showing signs of flowering all ready. i just started useing the fertilizer for veg. stage just a week ago... so i dont know what i should do? should i swith the light to 12/12 and start useing the fertilizer for the flowering stage? or keep it on on 18/6 alittle bit longer and keep useing the veggy stage fertilizer? so anybody can help me please let me know what i should do, thank you.

Your plant isnt flowering. It has reached a point of maturity and is showing its sex. Its telling you that its ready for the next phase.

I would start 12/12 soon.

i agree with boneman..

i would make the switch in less than abotu two weeks

or you can just veg it longer to get bigger and flower it later for more buds,..... what strain is it anyway? where's the pics?
how big is the pot? the grow space? need more specifics if you really want any useful answers

oh ok thanks guys.... so two more weeks then right? idk wha strain it is and as far as pics i didnt have any right now, tom. i'll post some. growing space is 3 and a half feet by 2feet its a small closet. i can get the light about 6feet up.

ok im going change to 12/12 soon... i still dont know the sex of my plant, i've read that male plants mature earlyer then females. do you think my plant could be a male? or is 5weeks until preflowering average? oh i'll have those pics up here tomorrow by the way

well i believe its showings its sex.... isnt tha the start of the flowering stage? the plant just started to show its sex only a week go, to this date i still cant tell if its a male or female the plant is still to young ..... i got some pics, the plant is 26 inchs tall, 6weeks old. i just started the 12/12 lighting and i switched to the my big bloom fox farm fertilizer. so ah just tell me wha all yall think iight, thanks for your help.

looks very healthy..... Better hope you dont grow balls

yea i know..... im 60-70% sure its a female. can really tell tha this point...i hope its a female tho
