Okay fellas, this is my first post, so bare with me here...
I have grown a few plants in my day, but this time i have a nice healthy specimen i transplanted from outdoor to indoor after it was about a month or so old. at about 4 inches or so (approx 5-6 nodes), i put it into 12/12. it has since been flowering for the last couple weeks. i just want to know what will be the consequences of flowering too early.. just a smaller yield?? i just wanted to get this overwith so i can set up a new hyrdoponics system. its growing rapidly every day, but from the looks of it i don't even expect a half ounce, but theres probly another 30 days or so before harvest. what should i expect?
opinions?
suggestions?
ideas?

Its tough to say how much longer because "a couple of weeks" doesnt say much it depends on what u want and the strain. You can learn alot about it in the GrowFAQ section.

Your just not going to get very much yield.

If you only end up with 14g of harsh headache hay tasting weed, you gained experience. You said that you've grown a few plants in your day.....thats more then alot of ppl on here.

5 or 6 nodes on a 4" plant is pretty good. Usually there is nothing more than its first set of leaves when they are 4" U a bonsai guru there holmes?

I appreciate any and all help you guys are giving me. i may get a twig, i may get 14gs of headache, i just wanted to see what any other experienced people may say.. as far as being a bonsai guru, idk why, but thats the way the plant has grown.. it's still under 10 inches high and its probly got 10 nodes.. its growing outward, so i've been gently teasing the leaves to bend downward, hoping it will grow vertically more soon, but we'll see. it's a bagseed from some shit i got a few months ago. it started growing outdoors and when i put it inside it shocked for a couple days and didn't grow much, but has since been looking very healthy.

sounds weird does it not? if it makes anthing, i'll be happy. like i said, i wanna get this overwith so i can try hydroponics.

you will be fine, just let them fully muture, as u would a 30 day veg plant, i hagve a buddy that puts his plants like 20 to 30 at a time into flowering after only showing new growth, the plants might only be 3 to 5 inches but the plant willl grow in flowering for at leat two weeks so u should end up with some good bud, all depending on the light u use, bush that bitch out!!!

As funny as it is, i'm really not 100% positive..hah. i bought them a couple of years ago. i believe they're around they're 250-350 watt. i'm going to invest into a whole new setup the next grow. i want to go to 3 plant setup in a home made hydro set up. is there a specific kind of light
ou recommend, and perhaps where i can get these?
i've been seeing alot of HID light postings, and some other forms of light. i've always used the same two that i have now in a topless box. coated the walls with reflective paper, and i have a fan integrated into one of the walls for constant circulation. my grow is basically effortless. the lightcycle controls itself. i water it when the dry soil is deeper than my second knuckle on my middle finger. i'm not one of the big investment growers, it's more of a hobby and test for myself. you'll probly find it funny that i don't even smoke.. I just enjoy the challenge, and i'm fascinated with the plant. i used to smoke a whole bunch in highschool. don't really know what made me quit. i give the product to my girlfriend.. she smokes it all up.

thanks again for the help guys, and talon that's a little motivation on my side. my last two didn't turn out well. one was a bug infestation victim, the other suffered too much humidity. i'm still learning how to do all this, and i've never flowered this early so it's good to hear it might turn out. we'll see.
thanks for the support. i'll get you guys some pictures.

What kind of light SHOULD i be using. i'm not using an HID or HPS i don't think, but like is stated before i bought them quite some time ago, and i really can't be positive.
i'm glad i finally decided to sign up to a forum.
