Hi there, i´m new here. I have a recent grow, 85x65x65, with 5 Brainstorm feminized by Dutch Passion, they´ve been vegging for 5 weeks now, and i think its time to start flowering.

They are under a white 200W Agrolite CFL, and i´m waiting to buy 2 envirolites 125w RED for the next stage, but they are only avaible in two weeks from now....(from where i´m buying it is very inexpensive so it´s worth it)

Is it ok to start the 12/12 period right now with this light for about 2 weeks until the right ones arrive?

I´m stressing with this, i can´t vegg them much longer, the space is shortening.

Please help me with this doubt, thanks alot!

yes, it is..... the plants mostly grow veggitavely during the first couple weeks of flowering anyway. also, remember that your plants will at least double in height when you start flowering.

Here's what you do. Top your plants, then let them keep growing untill yor other lights get here, then that way your plants stop growing up and start growing out...you will get more yield! I have ALWAYS topped every plant i have ever grown, and i have never been dissapointed EVER!!! Mind you i do alot of things that others don't..for 1. I always let my plants reach preflower stage before going over to 12/12 lights, which is usually around the 2-2.5 month mark of growth.

Your plants will stretch up during your flowering stage though..but at least you will stop growth for now.
