so i've started growing for medical reasons. Anyway, i have i problem i guess, well that's why i'm asking :)

Plant type, seed red cherry berry, from barneys.

Problem:

I started growing these 2 plants like a bit over 2 months ago, used bloom nutrients and held it kinda healthy i guess. But it wont flower yet, is that normal? just bitty tiny white strains coming out of the stem/leaves. Shoudnt it flower soon?, been like over one week with 12 hours on 12 hours off with the light. but anyway can that have anything to do with my light? cause my lamp is a CFL 130W or something, but it sais grow light, and not flowering light, can that be the problem;P? or can i use the same lamp due the whole progress?:weed:

heres some pics, please leave a comment on the plant :)

It could be the light. But it could also be the lack of nutrients
Do you have any visable preflowers yet?
You might also need to add some bloom booster.

You need to have 12 hours of light followed by 12 hours of total darkness to begin flowering. Changing to bloom nutrients and the type of light wont start the process.

and remember that there 12 hours of darkness is pitch black can't see your hand in front of your face dark. Closets ect even with doors closed can have light leaks. Some may get away with out, but it is worth it they get there sleep.

I think you should add supplemental lighting, flowering with HPS is nice!

Yeah think i found the problem, i was using 2 60W usual lightbulbs to keep the closet warm enugh at night for the plants cause im in the north, and it's kinda cold here now, and shitty got damn house walls who leaks much cold air. Removed them now, but any suggestions on how i can keep the plants not from freeing at night? it's not space for any oven in the closet, so any tips and cheap tricks:P?

make sure your lights are 2700k oj lookin color i got a prety cheap setup if u wanna see and its in a trailer closet so i know the temp problem but with a few lights going it should keep the temp up the temp can actually drop prety low mine stays at 80 F then on 12 off it drops to about 70 ill take pics and show u my setup

And how cold does it actually get? its not the cold temp that is the problem i thinks its just frost take some pics plz?

the only problem with that is your going to get 2 hot then cold then hot then cold unless you spent more money for one with a thermastat built in so the heat kicks on and off i tryed to use one that had heater + fan but it got really fucking hot and i had to keep turning it on and off and it got annoying

but you could buy a timer!!! i jut bought one so i didnt have to keep manually turning lights off its really awsome

If its only been a week of flowering you are fine. That plant looks mighty stretched though and will not be a huge producer.. Get a 400W HPS and have some fun =] It's enough light to get tons of buds.
