just started 12/12

just started 12/12...3 plants (bag seed) approx 12'' tall . running 9 cfls @ 23 watts 1600 lumen,2300k. how long till buds start showing???

few weeks youll see em pretty well.....then theyll just getter bigger and fatter

wow I would love to answer this however, i cant considering i only know relating to HPS lighting. With HPS, 2 weeks max.

uh wow id give them way more light then that your buds wont be big and fat with cfl's its just not enough for them you'll have light fluffy stringy bud so if you can get a HID HPS is recomended

I dont know...Ive seen some decent nugs off cfl's (on this Site)..

done right cfls can create decent nugs. just not in as much of an area that an HPS can..

youll see alot of growth in your plants before you see nuggz, the new 3 weeks have alot in store, rough estimate of 3 weeks before you see decent clusters of calyx's aka "Buds"
