Hey guys I'm a newbie grower and this is my first grow , its around 45 days old.When this plant came out of the soil I didn't have any kind of artificial lights and I was growing it next to my window and It probably got maybe 3 hours of direct sunlight and after that some ambient daylight.It was growing extremely slow and seemed to slow down even more after the first 3 leave set.3 weeks ago I made a makeshift cheapo grow light (around 40v) using a mix of white blue and red LEDs .When I put it under the led light it started growing extremely fast (in comparison to before the led light) and its around 45 days old now. I was wondering If I can start flowering it already.I know it doesn't look verry good and I know my yield will be poor but I just want something to toke on that I grew , even if it turns out schwag.
Pics are below. I am using nutes , something like 8/5/6

Hey man, when you start flowering is up to you. Some people would start that flowering now to keep it from getting big, others might let it grow bigger for more yield. I personally would start now because I don't have a lot of room or light to flower a large plant.

I'm not sure if my plant is mature enough to start flowering , I don't want to slowdown its growth even more if it isn't.

is your plant still in a red solo cup? if it is transplant it (google) also when you do bury that stem to the first node its to tall and stretchy those shoots should be an inch or two the most apart. Probably because your light is far away from it. i would also consinder LST its very very easy to do (google). i would suggest that you and HAWK1020 both get your lights closer and replant deeper if possible. Give that plant some more soil in atleast a 4 gallon pot and watch her grow. To answer your question though yes you can flower now but personally i wouldnt yet dont rush it and i promise you that you will be much happier doing what ive told you and another 3 weeks before flowering. Either way good luck buddy let me know how it turns out

Those pots look better. They are still stretched. basically there is to much space in between shoots. Get some tape and bend that plant over and tape one of the top leaves to the sides of the pot you dont need that fence on top yet. Youtube how to LST and topping dont be afraid it can be hard to do your first time just out of fear your doing something that will hurt the palnt but they will love it. Your Yield aka Buds will be much larger and better quality. :hump:
