Flowering stage! When?

Hey guys, im in need of some advice. (again) lol.
Well i have been growing for close to 2 months already, half of the time was outside under Mother Natures climate. the other half was under a 75 watt output grow light purchased from walmart. the light has been on non stop for close to 4 days already. No special nuets used just miracle grow once in a while. i was wondering when would be the right time i should do the 12/12 for flowering? I dont know when i should start that. any help please.. thanks alot.

Whenever you feel its time. Keep in might once you flower she can double in size so if you have height restrictions I wouldn't wait to long... 2 months of veg. is decent.

Do you have any height restrictions in your grow room? Knowing the strain would help, but many strains will double and possibly triple in size (height) once put into flower (12/12). If you've been vegging for two months, it would likely be safe to say they're ready to go into flower. If you want a decent amount of product, I would definitely upgrade on the lighting situation ASAP.

Timing for putting your plants into flower all depends on what you want your yield to be - example - SOG grows generally don't produce a LOT per plant, but it is a steady production for limited amounts of space and height. Plants are generally small, but still produce a decent amount of bud - HOWEVER - if you want to grow those *trees* you see on some threads, and get 1.5 to 2 pounds per plant, then you have to let them veg longer.

Ok thanks alot guys, what do you think about the light? 75 watt output? any good?

i think your gonna want more light
more light=more bud
depending on your situation (grow box, grow room) there are lights out there to suit your needs

loads of threads on here wit different lights pros&cons etc.

just get what suits your needs and budget

good luck

oh yeah after 2 months id say your ready for 12/12
i only do mine for 1 month, but i aint got much room.

Thanks guys, really helpful.. this is my first time and it looks like its working out. the plants are kinda short but there real leafy..

Oh and how much would a plant bring of bud? from a plant that size?

lose the "grow light" that wal-mart sell its EQUIVALANT to 75w output if u trin it around it will say like 18 or 20 watts....

U need the spiral bulbs man .. and get atleast 4 42 watter .. then ur good . ...

were can i get the spiral? and whats the exact name of some good ones i can use. that would be helpful. and do you know how much bud a plant like mine would produce? like for an example.

More light will produce more bud.
Specific strains will produce more than others.

Everything you do or don't do will affect the end production...so it's almost impossible to guess at this stage.

Don't expect a lot unless you upgrade to at least a 400W to 600W HPS or MHs.

If you are low on cash, search sites like craigslist for inexpensive grow light options in lieu of buying new.

any rough estimates how much? like i just want to know for an example...
