If you have it on 12/12 then yes its flowering but if you have it under a veg schedule then its just letting you know its mature to flower

hard to tell total yield also not knowing a lot of key factors.

Those lights you have are def not the best for flowering also BTW. But if you see preflowers you knows its a good female and arent wasting your time vegging it up

I would def dd some more light. Atleast a few big CFLs. Just not enough light for that size plant for flowering. Plain and simple.

you need a lot of CFLS to get a good yield. they just dont have very good light penetration. i would recommend upgrading to a HPS.

also you can really flower a plant at almost anytime. you dont have to wait for preflowers. also not all strains develop preflowers. for example my feminized la confidential doesnt develop preflowers. however my female sweet tooth clone does.

Hps or led for sure
Can get a 240w flowering led for 250$ish
Don't waste money on cfl for flowing, they did good for your vegging though. Have tried to flowery and my buddy did too and came out so fluffy and not much weight

Never heard buying CFLS a waste..... seen 43 grams with 2x23 watt cfls from 1 plant..... CFLS are fine just keep them close and at all sides and you don't need a Ballast and its not as hard to keep cool just keep a breeze going across them

check out my sig i just harvested a blue mystic under a 150 watt hps and got 86.6 grams wet so about 30-36 grams dry with your lights you will not even get close the hps i got was only about $70 dont waste your time with the cfls put your plant back in veg and order the light then flower it you will not regret it
