Flowering - newbie help.

Hi,
I am a newbie and just wanted to know a few things, i have heard you can make plant's start to flower at any time with the light ratio, from 18:6 to 12:12 but how high does the plant need to grow before i do actually start to flower? would 6/7 inch high with 3/4 (3 grown nodes, 1 new small one) be ok to flower? and if so does the plant still grow and get bigger?
one last final thing, if it's 6/7 inch high now and i decide to flower, what would an average yield be?
thanks.

You can flower once the first leaves show. Or you can flower in 5 months. If your plant is 7" expect it to grow to 15-21"

thanks very much, i have limited space and did not want to over do it

you have to give the plant 12/12 to start flowering, it has to be 12 hours of darkness to flower if you where to start the 12/12 now it probs wouldnt flower at that size but it would continue to grow then flower when it was mature enough, no one will ever be able to tell you the average yeild it varys so much, a plant usualy doubles some times triples in size during flowering

sounds good
i am planning on forcing her into flowering today, i have just re-potted into a bigger pot, would this have any affects if i start the flowering stage now?
thanks people.

You want a bigger pot for flowering cuz they grow alot. Expect to water more.

not that i know of, many people use a 12/12 light pattern straight from seed as this keeps the plants small

thank you very much, lighting will now be turned off at 6pm for 12 hours, thank you very very much!!

Your welcome
