Quick or Naturally?

[Mr_Green]

I have a small plant and wanted to know when will i know when the time is right to flower or how can i get quick and fast buds without waiting a few months? i have seen small plants with a hell of a lot of bud and wanted to know how can i make my plant go faster so the buds can come in quickly? if you think this is a bad idea then please explain so i know that i would wait and not kill my plant. thank you

You could flower a plant form seed if you wanted to.. i have seen some grows done that way.. but your yeild will and nothing compared to what it would be if you veg- the plant for atleast a month.
Hope your one plant is a female.
Good luck!

Your plant should reach sexual maturity before you flower it. You will know it is mature enough because the branches will alternate from side to side on the stalk, as opposed to right across from each other as they are now.

Most of the small plants that you see being flowered are clones. The clones take their age and maturity from the plant they are cut from, so they can be flowered as soon as they root because their mother plant was sexually mature so they are sexually mature.

FYI, plants will not always alternate nodes when they're sexually mature. Another way to tell is when they start showing preflowers. My plants still haven't alternated nodes, but they've got flowers all over.
