Should i start flowering?

i have a plant and it is only like 2 and a half feet tall, should i start flowering it, its already started to produce more heads out of the cracks between the stems and old leavs, the longest one is like a 3 in. shoot. i dont want to flower it, but i want what ever is best for the plant...

What to do...i could post pics... anyone want to see...?

bump........?

It all depends on how much grow room you have and how tall u want it to be when your done. It's going to at least double in size after you start flowering. I'd say it's ready

I agree if shes over 2 feet she will be atleast 4 feet when done flowering. 1 to 2 ounces if conditions are good, depending on lighting and things. What lighting are you using?

i am using cfls.... i just swiched to flowering mode this morning. i have 3 2700 cfls all around 20-30w on it, two are shining through a cone typ thing wraped in tin foil so its a lot brighter, plus i have the other one one the other side. i turned the lights off at 7 a.m. and turn then back on at 7 p.m.

how many days old is she. how long she been vegging?

well this particular one was givin to me but scince i have had it all the to top heads have grown like 4-5 new sets of leafs out of the growth head. i figuerd it is brobly 2-3 months old.

Im acually at school right now so when i get home i will post pics.

well i have been giving it miricle grow all purpose, but i want to give it some nuts just for flowering ... what should i use and can i continue to use miricle grow with it?

I would say get atleast 4 more cfls and make sure they are no more than 2 inches away from plant. If your plant is over 2 feet tall and ur just flowering now you need a shit load of lights about 8000 lumens is need per square foot. yur going to have very few and fluffy buds unless you get bunch of cfls covering every inch of you rplant

i would but im really limited on lamps and stuff right now my mom is useing one of my lamps to help baby chicks stay worm and we dont really have any more lamps, i even when as far as creating my own light fictuer, what could i do or use for lighting?

I heard alaska big bloom is really good for flowering has anybody ever used this?

wat you can do is buy a extension cord and a socket adapter then a y adapter so you have a fixture that can run 2 cfl's for under 3 or 4 dollars. walmart has everythign you need look around the ceiling fans and lighting and stuff. Idk what that is i use fox farm grow big big bloom and tiger bloom nutrients works good for me

i thought about that... ill ask my dad to get a few, he knows all about it,he is also going to get me some blooming nutes.

If you have maximum of 90 watts there is nothing else you can do for light apart from either purchasing some more. It would be worth it though, a new light i mean. The best thing you can do try to ensure the light emitted from your cfls is not wasted. Perhaps mylar could help - its cheaper than a new light, and reflects lots. Maybe you could put it all around your plant keeping all the light in. As you know tin foil is know good for this. In regards to miracle grow, its not ideal. It would have been better to use proper veg and bloom ferts, but if your plant has not reacted badly to this miracle grow stuff you could continue to use it. Ensure you feed her water every so often to ensure there is not a build up. Do you know she's a girl?

not quite sure yet about sex,(givin it a week or so) and the miricle grow has been doing fine, i water with it every night to drinking glasses full, every gallon i use i go up a 1/4 tsp , right now i am useing a tbs and 3/4 tsp, i have been useing it every nice and it has been doing fine, i think when i get some bloom nuts i will water, with water 2-3 times a week.
