I am a newbie, but I think it depends on the strain and how big you want you plant! I have read where a lot of people start flowering around 4 or 5 weeks.

Well I guess the biggest question is how tall is the space your growing in? Followed by how many cfls? If you don't have lights to surround the plant its best to keep it shorter. Once you set it into flower it will grow alot from what I've read so you need to make sure you have the height..

Allow room for the plants to grow 3 times the size it is when you flip. So if your plant is 1ft tall it could end up being 3ft when its all said and done. Your plant is pretty small for being 5 weeks old. I would definitely try to get more light on it during flower. Hope this helped my friend. Good luck on your grow

min veg time is 21 days.

That being said the longer you veg the more the plant has time to build a strong root system and create more omfg spelling sorry foilage. So basicly the longer you veg the more plant you will have the more plant you have the more it will yield. I would get somemoe lights in there and get a 12-18" tube like this in the pic and place it under the plant like in the pic so you get light from the bottom too.

thanks as far as lights I got 3x 2700K CFL and 3x 5500K CFL's and 2x 3570K Tube lights I may add some more 2700K soon but I'm really saving up for a 400watt HPS(flowering) and a 400watt MH(Veg)

these pics were taken in it's 4th week it's gotten bigger but I don't interupt night time for anything not even pics I left the lights off for 48hours and then place it on 12/12 so it's 10:30pm(on)-10:30am(off) i'm considering adding more lights more 2700K CFL's
