When should I flower my plants?? (CFL)

So this next Tuesday will be four weeks
-My tallest plant is 7 inches tall
-Other 2 r short and bushy (5 inches)

I was wondering when a good time to flower th would be?
-I am trying to get an ounce with these 4 plants at least!!

Any advice about how long to wait to get a ounce?
Hieght?
Age?


ALSO should I switch my hours immediately to 12-12
or shoul I move slowly to that by taking an hour off every day when I flower?

Yes, switch immediately to 12/12. ye yall get atleast an ounce imo, probably more than that.

Thanks so anyone wanna give me some advice on when to start flowering?

Hey,,
Its all dependant on your situation. I like to give them 3-4 weeks in veg then flower. You can flower as soon as sex is shown. some people do 2 weeks some a month. It just depends on how much room you have.
I give them say 3 weeks veg, then a day and night in the dark then onto 12/12 for 50days,,ish./..
Hope that helps you abity...take it easy.

How much light have you got? what kelvins? should be 2700k for flower, and also how big is your grow space?

So my first grow is starting week 4 after I germinated my seeds
My tallest plant is 7 inches and other ones I put my light closer so they got a little more bushy. (8 plants)

I am growing indoor and this is my set up:
Lights- I have 2 40 watt fluorescent sunlight
And a 75 watt fluorescent grow light from walmart
(less than an inch away from plant)
Dirt- lawn and garden starting mix(has perlite and seems to work good)
Fertilizer- Schultz plant food 10-15-10
Temperature- 70 to 80 F
Room- basically lined with aluminum foil
(I am growing in my bedroom in corner 2x1)

NOW I know there are a million things I could do better, better lights, better dirt, better fertilizer... I did my research an realize what I could do if I had a lot of money, but shitty for me I'm not rich lol.

I was just wondering if I could grow my babys with this lighting. IF SO how much would you guess per plant?
ALSO if you think I need more light for flowering or even now how much more
would I need?
(I plan on buying more flouresent eventually because I cannot affor MH or expensive lights).
When should I flower to get over an ounce
AND how long should u flower?

do you still have to sex them ? or are they female seed / clones ?
basically for 8 plants you will need about 300w cfl at least to get more than an ounce if still have to sex them you might end up from 3-6 female plants which you will need less light to get the same results.
look at the hair that they are about 80% amber or better yet get a microscope.
hope this helps

hey,,
I have two under one 250w plug and grow cfl. its about 19,500 lumens, and yeah have two, one in 2700k and one in 6300k,.
Try work off of 10,000 lumens a plant in flower.
take it easy

can i get a link to the 250watt bulb you have that has 19.5k lumens.

i may have missed this. but what strain are you growing? 4 weeks and only 5 inches tall seems a little on the short side. What size pots are they planted in?
I myself wait for the plants to reach 12 inches. happens a little faster with a sativa then it would with an indica. i think if you went into flower right now with out the right amount of lights you would be on the short side of 1 oz dry.

yes always throw directly into 12/12

you can buy 17000k bulbs which i use for veg, never heard of 19500!

if you want to get an ounce a plant, then you want to veg for atleast a month and a half with those lights, id try and add a few more cfls 40/50 more watts and your be fine. temps are fine, you might want to try some lst techniques or topping as your grow space seems small

I have been vegging a plant now for nearly 2 months with a 250w cfl. Its a huge plant I am going to start flowering now. I take it beause I let it grow and veg for so long my yield should be biggeR?

Yup it should be, it will also get ALOT bigger when u flower.

I always find when I think I should start flowering I should wait a week or two longer just to make sure I get what I want if I were u I'd give em 2 more weeks then flower and make sure they are in complete darkness during night cycle for 12/12 or else they will slow growth and not bud as efficiently my technique for flowering involves changing the lights from 18/6 to 20/4 the last week of veg and then I induce flowering just to get a lil more growth and make the switch more extreme I don't know if this helps or not but I believe it does And I also wait till there a foot tall and then flower last time I had a 42 inch sativa and a 27 inch indica the sativa was a foot when started 12/12 so was the indica I got 32 grams from indica and 48 grams from the sativa dry weight wish I had better pics
