To early to start flowering?

I recently got a clone from a dispensary of LA confidential on july 3. She's about 6 and a half inches tall and has been sitting under t5's since puchase. I also fimmed her about a week and a half ago. Since then I had been bending her with some paper clips to help get light to the smaller branches.
Tonight I took out the paper clips and stuck her in the closet to start flowering. I'm using a 250 watt hps. I havent fed any nutes yet but when I do I plan on using a dilluted dose of alaskan morbloom (0-10-10) and if need be a bit of fish emulsion (4-1-1)
Heres a pic from a few days back. She looks kind of beat up but shes got a super strong stem and the new growth is healthy.
Could anyone give me advice on if she'll be fine flowering this big? Like I said I'm using a 250 watt hps for flowering and if I can yield anywhere between a quad and a half ounce I will be plenty happy.


I already have an og kush clone that unfortunatley was stunted along the way I believe. As it is in its 4-5th week of flowering, and is only 14 inches. She still has a ways to go but I doubt she'll stretch more. SHe does look very nice however. Heres a Pic.

I also have some random seeds, that I was too cheap to care about and planted in miracle grow, they actually arent doing too bad. I also have another LA confidential outside in miracle grow. Yeah I know its noob soil but when I started I was on a super tight bidget and still am. I also have another clone running of tahoe og but its still tiny. I plan on picking up a couple bags of FFOF soil at the beginning of the month, and possibly upscaling to a 400 watt hps/mh light. A nearby hydro store has them for 160.00. Also a friend from a nearby dispensary gave me a 2 1/2 foot bubba kush plant to take care of for him.
Heres a pic of the outside section of my grow. Including the bubba kush la confidential and 3 mystery seeds.

Heres the little tahoe OG. under the t5's. This pictures is about a week and a half old so she is a bit bigger now.


I can understand that this post is noobish to some people, however this is a medical grow and I am seriously thinking about upscaling my grow soon. Thats why I ask kindly that anyone with info can help. I want to learn how to grow and how to grow properly. I am restricted to what I can buy basically for my growing as of now. But so far what I've been looking at dooing is getting perpetual grow/harvest cabinet going that would have 4 t'5s on the lower half and I would like to have a 250 or a 400 watt hps inside if possible.
The local walmart has these for a somewhat reasonable price.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-4-Shelf-Storage-Cabinet/8206253?findingMethod=rr#ProductDetail
the measurements 25.63 x 18.88 x 69.38
It does look like the shelves are a bit flimsy, but I'm sure using would ones would be fine.
I already plan on fitting four of the 2 foot t5 single blulb fixtures in the lower part if I get this particular cabinet. But I want to know if a 400 watt hps would be too much for in here? I already have a 250 watt hps that I have in my closet, But would like to get the 400 if I could fit it inside properly.
Thoughts and suggestions on this idea would be extremely well appreciated.

there no way you could grow in that cabinent with anything but T5's or maybe a lower watt MH 150 or 250 watt. unless you plan on air cooling it. a 400 watt willl raise temps to the 90's in that thing easy with the doors closed.

hmm, so if I did get the 400, I'd keep it in the closet then.
Its not in stone yet, but I may just hang a 400 in the closet instead of the 250.
