Hi RIU! I have a few questions.
I'm thinking about flowering my 3 plants!
The tallest/oldest one (2 weeks old) about 2 inches tall but its on its 5th node. (I'm trying to keep it short and its been working out awesome!)
The largest plants node pattern goes like this 1, 3, 5, 7 and the 5th node hasn't showed all of the leafs yet so IDK how many it'll be.
The second largest is about 11 days old and has 2 nodes. The pattern is 1, 3. (The reason it only has 2 nodes is because I topped it.)
The youngest one is about 9 days old and is on its 3rd node. The pattern is 1, 3, 5. (It WILL NOT be topped.)
BTW I LST the plants that's why they are short.
Right now I have 2-100W CFLs on it.
They are 1500 Lumens each.
They have 3500K each.
1. Is it possible to start it to flower at these ages? (I've heard of people doing it but IDK)
2. About how much will each plant yield?
3. About how long will it take them to flower?
4. When will they start showing sex?
All help is MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!
I can provide more info if needed!
Picture are in order as they are described. Oldest to youngest!!!

1. You can flower anytime you want. The longer you wait the larger the plant and the greater the yield, within reason.
2. No way of telling. Not much if you flower now.
3. 8 to 12 weeks
4.a couple of days up to a couple of weeks

Those are ok for flowering but 2700k is best. And you'll need a lot more for flowering - three per plant of the same wattage you're using (those are not 100 watt bulbs by the way, they are 23 watt bulbs with the equivalent light of a 100 watt incandescent bulb.)

Yeah. But I'm probably only going to keep 2 plants for flowering. DO you know where to get those bulb converter things that plug straight into an outlet socket?
