Should i flower now or how long should i wait?

when you have a nice fat stem to support all those frosty nugs. i flowered too early, imo, in my current endeavor, and growth suffered, and i had no real stretch. i usually wait until the stem is the size of my index finger.
 
When the branches stop coming opposite and become alternate. LST and pinch out if height becomes a problem.
 
I wait til the plant has like 5 main shoots through LST then I flower..takes around 3 weeks and I usually get 3 oz per plant or right there abouts.
 
With CFLs I am not sure if you should wait or not..I say this because the longer veg the bigger the harvest, but only if you have the lights to support larger plants..which you do not...so you will need to keep them small if you want to get much off of them...and you really should do some LST..it can only increase yield and it definitely helps to use those CFLs as efficiently as posible. You will never be happy with your results til you get some real lights though.
