Stay the course and they'll tall up here soon enough. They double in height during the first two weeks of flowering, at least, so it's okay to let them stay a little bushy.

im new to the growing with lights thing myself SNOW CRASH has been a big help to me and he will be on sometime.IMO though your flowering would start when they showed sex but like i said im new to the lights thing yellowing leaves could be many things they will want pics and more info like ph levels what nutes if any i grow outside and towards the end of the cycle leaves start turning yellow but your just starting flowering,id wait on snow and get your info together.
best of luck though

Shit... A lot happened over night.
Figure, you're growing flowers, not vegetables. If you stick with the MG seed starting soil you'll want to keep a close eye on the pH and you'll probably want to use some kind of fertilizer. Composted Cow Manure tilled into the top inch of the soil (about 1/4 cup per gallon) with some Dolomite Garden Lime (1tsp per gallon) will provide a balanced array of NPK and micro nutrients, but I cannot guarantee success with that.
I think rather than twist tying the branches together to get them closer to the light source you should probably add more light sources. Your plant is too big for the number of bulbs you have if you need to do this to get them some lighting. Another 2 bulbs/reflectors wouldn't cost you more than $15. Probably pay for itself with the extra few grams you'll get. Especially if twist tying causes mold and ruins the entire harvest.
For you, just watch the trichomes when you see the swelling process is subsiding. When your trichomes are mostly cloudy, with little to no clear trichomes, then it is time to harvest. Time tables are handy but they are not the rule and every phenotype is going to have a different harvest window. Use your discretion in the matter. A 30x jeweler loop is great for getting a closer view of the trichomes.
Those are Trichomes. They contain the Cannabinoid compounds you are looking for. That's the part of Marijuana that gets you high, and has a number of medicinal uses. The actual plant material, the flowers, don't actually get you high. It is these trichomes. The highest concentration of these "crystals" will be on the calyxes, the flowers, of the plant and this is what most people are smoking. The leaves which are trimmed off that contain trichomes can be used to make extracts like hash, keif, or butter.
As I understand it, the MG seed starting mix is primarily just peat moss. You can continue to use this mix, but it contains very little nutrition, and might become more and more acidic over time. I think you would be better suited with an Organic or Rose potting mix. Anything that says "Organic Soil Mix" on it is great. The Rose community has been growing flowers for dozens of years and as a result they get some of the best stuff around, so if you cannot find an organic potting mix then you'll want a Rose potting mix.

Sorry dude. I don't touch Autos. Seems like 75% of the Auto grows on this site are sickly, so rather than trying to assist everyone with there auto-flowering plants I'll say this. Do the research and keep everything right, temp, humidity, pH, etc. Grow them in organic soil and just water them properly. If you can do that then you only need to keep them alive for 70 days. If you are having a problem keeping a hardy plant alive for 70 days then return to the drawing board and do more research. Stop growing Autos!
The place where the stems touch can be an issue. Moisture can become trapped in there and create a place for mold to take hold. Also, you want some space between your buds so they can fill out properly.

Gotcha already homeboy.hey crash is it ok to use twist ties to bunch branches together in order to get the buds closer to the lights? like i have them in the picture below?
Most breeders count from the 12/12 switch, but when they say 8 weeks... I think they really mean more like 60 days.

snow what did i do i was gone all day came home to one of my plants turning brown around the edges of the leaves.it was my runt so i had it elevated to get closer to lights ima thinking i got it to close but i was only bout four inches away from light.leaves feel real dry plant still holding itself well though temps are running around 83 humidity is around 55% i havent fed it at all it's entire life been waiting for it to look like it wanted food rest of em look fine.dont know if my humidity is to low or not if it is how can i raise besides using humidifier cause there's no room for one in closet.im running 4 26 watt 6500k,1 23 watt 5000k,1 44 watt 2700k,if i knew how to insert pics i would when i click on insert image it asks for url of my image this is where i get lost i assumed it would go to my library but it didn't.i haven't acquired a ph tester yet there's no hydro shops within 150 miles of where i live.Ive looked at wal-mart and hardware stores but no luck wish i could figure out the pic thing think it would help alot.

I guess that's fine then. Be creative.
That looks more like a nutrient burn or heat issue. Maybe temporary, maybe not. What are the temps?
