How many days after switching to 12/12 do you start to see flowering?

i avoid light leaks by turning my lights off when the sun goes down...and a t.v or computer light wont stop it from flowering if its used to a hps light

usually it stretches more when u give it at least 24hours of darkness so if you want to avoid stretching then just give it 12-15hours of dark or so

What lighting do you have, how many bulbs and what wattage?
You need reflectors too.

Looking healthy dude, try some lst to get it lower and what the new growth pop out.

Whats your growing medium?

Im not using HPS, just 2700k CFL's (250 watts), will the tv and computer light mess with it?
i've never used cfl's for my main lighting source i just use cfl's for side lighting..so i'd b more careful wit the computer and t.v on but honestly dont think it will matter

On Top I have 150 watts on top (100 watts 2700k soft white and 50 watts 6500k daylight) and on the side I have a 42 watt 2700k soft white so its a total of 192 watts. I have a few more bulbs I want to add but its hard to keep the temps down.

Yeah I want to LST this thing but I dont know how, its my 1st grow. i dont want to fuck this thing up.

Growing medium is Foxfarm ocean forrest in a 2 gallon airpot. No nutes yet. Want to get some ff big bloom

a fan lol..i got one plant in a tent under a 400w hps..i leave the tent unzipped during the day to keep the temps around 72-82 and to keep air coming in and out easily..i zip it shut almost the whole way at night just to keep it from getting to cold, it usually sits at 68 at night..if it were cramped in there i'd worry about it more

What a douche, light leaks during your plants dark period is unacceptable no matter what size lamp you are using.

When you learn more you will understand....:wall:

Lst is easy man my first grow or 2 i was hesitant on trying it to..just take the top of your plant and pull it down sideways so the top is almost touching the soil..(be very careful not to snap it) your no fool tho so i think you'll know if your bending it to far..get a string and some tape, tie it down, tap the string to your pot and your golden.

Some strains are more forgiving of low light levels than other plants. If your plant has been under 12/12 for more than 2 weeks and isn't into flower mode make sure it is totally pitch black during dark hours.
