Hello Everybody I need Some Experienced Guidance!

I am growing a Hindu Kush Plant Indoors, I bought her when she was about 3 inches Long, and I’ve had her for 4 weeks.

Does this mean that the plant was already about a week? If so, is she really 5 weeks old?

When will she start flowering I’ve Heard 8 weeks?

I have her inside an old school phototron #4 in my garage.

The phototron has six Biax Bulbs but I'm not sure if they are - 40 Watt or - 55 Watt.

On top I have a Double SL-20 Socket Kit with 2 SL-20 Lamps
The kit hangs from a bracket molded into the top I believe this is called a germination Bulb. I put Aluminum Foil on top of each circular bulb to throw the light back down to the plant.

The phototron has six light reflecting sliding doors. Every day when I get home from work I take 3 of the doors OFF for circulation (No Fans)
At night before bed, I sit in there with her and smoke the day away
after all is done I put the doors back so she can sleep warm.

I used regular poting soil and hand water every other day, I Started her on (N20 8 16) Diet A week ago and her next feeding is on the 30th

I have some more Questions and Since a Picture is better than words I made an album.

https://www.rollitup.org/members/snappy-albums-hindu.html

I specified and Described the pictures as best as I could and placed the Questions next to them to make things easier.:leaf:

  • Mirror Image – Plant actual Size at one Month and how Light reflects from Mirrored walls.
  • Closed Lid – How The plants spends Most of the Time = Nights and Days Till I get Home – 20 Hours Total.
  • Germination Bulb – Foil to Reflect Light
  • Purple Green Stems =Why is the Bottom of the Stem Purple when the Top and some other Stems Green?
  • Purple Green Stems Close – Why are some Stems Purple and others Green??
  • Different Branches - Why Do I have Different Branches and stems ( 2 on the Left)?
  • Bottom Branch - One of the Different Branches has been Growing since I got the Plant and its growing from the Bottom is this ok or should I clip it since its so Far from the other Branches
  • Top – Is the Room on the Sides of the Plant ok for it to grow Strong??
Thank you All For your Help and Gudiance!!!:leaf:

Your going to want to make sure you have her on an actual light cycle. Keep her on 16 hours of light on and then 8 hours of light off. Then, when she gets big enough, you change the light cycle to 12 hours on and 12 hours off and THEN she will start flowering. Marijuana is reliant on light cycles.

Also, and this could be 100% wrong, I thought I remember someone saying purple stems are due to stress/shock.

yes your plant is 5 weeks old at least, age doesnt matter with kush plants, veg them under 18/6 light until at least 5 nodes (branches) on main stem. Thats the earliest you should send into flower, flower yourself by changing light schedule to 12/12. Plant will grow 1-2/3 its size in first two weeks of flower. Flower 9 weeks and harvest.
Purple stems dont mean anything, i find that purple stems finish better bud with kush plants, has nothing to do with stress, and everything to do with genetics.
I have a lot of advice for you, I am the man when it comes to kush plants, I grow them I cross them, they are my favourite.

too much to write on here pm me as I get most people to, and I will personalize my answers.

nutes are wrong, lights, watering, mirrors, foil and im sure more. I didnt even look at your journal yet, just read some responses. Doing it the way you are now will surely bud and grow, but by optimising your conditions, you will get more bud and better bud with a healthy plant.

pyro is right, flat white paint is the best

I see pistols so it's a girl for sure, probably preflowers but what is your lighting schedule?

I've Had her 24/7 Light all the time.

I water every other day (Skip one if Needed)

Gave First Feeding (N20 8 16 PLant Food) 2 weeks ago, next scheduled feeding 4/30.

Since from the responses I've gathered that she is almost ready to Flowe - Maybe I'll wait a week after the Next feeding to change the light to 12/12.

Is this a good Idea?

what about taking that Mirror Panels On and OFF will this stress the plant due to minor light change? or is this good ventilation?:leaf:
