26 w singl cfl bulb 1 plant

i have a white widow plant currently growing.
its been under a single 26w cfl bulb for 11 weeks and 2 days, its almost 30 inches tall but im not sure when i should start force flowering it. can someone help me out?

i would do that asap that thing is going to need s lot more light and put into a bigger pot ,it will get 3 times the size it is now by the time it fiinshs flowering

agreed, dixie cups are good for the first few weeks, but you need to upgrade your setup for flowering.

bigger pot
+more lights
-----------
= more buds for your buck

You grew THAT with ONE 26w cfl? Wow. Flower when you're ready... just get a few 2700k cfl's and go into 12/12. You don't have to transfer pots.. Unless you're rootbound.. But it looks fine to me.

remmber that when u start giveing the plant dark periods or longer periods of dark thats when the roots grow the most ,the more roots u have the better chance of getting bigger buds,also its a weed it grows like crazy if it has lots of room or more room at least ,his plant is already tall as hell he mite as well get the most out of his plant but thats just imo

go buy like 3 wyes from homedepot to make one bulb into 4 bulbs will work great

you should get at least 150w up in that biotch asap... like others said, a single 26 watter isnt going to cut it when it you're talkin about flowering.

this is why grow journals are worth their weight in gold...but welcome to riu good luck

your going to want to top that plant imo, its already taller than it should be if you plan on using very little lighting. i'd add at least 6-8 more 26w bulbs, using at least 3-4 of those for sidelightibg. (get a mixed spectrum btw.) its an investment. youll have them for your next grows. well worth the 40 max it would take to upgrade your system like ive indicated. youve got some potential there and even if it is a bit more stretched im sure youll get at least an 1/8-1/4 off of it. that would run you like 60-120bucks here, look at that, only 1 grow and your pretty much for sure in the green financially wise on your investment. if you veg that long next time with like 8-9 bulbs and lst or scrog your plant i can see you pulling an ounce or more pretty easy. so it just keeps getting better.
