no, 'alternating' means the stems are growing off the main stem at alternating points, instead of opposite each other (hope that wasn't too vague) ... you can flower at any time you want, BUT, you will lose much potency, growth, and yield ... I always veg for a minimum of two months ... I go to flower after my plants are a couple feet tall ... that way, you have mature viable plants that are capable of good yield and potency ... growing is an exercise in patience, but, it pays off BIG ... same with drying and curing, don't take shortcuts ... good luck there ... :smokin:

i have used enviros and they are good but that blue spectrum is a vegging bulb
they do a red spectrum enviro for flowering see if you can get one

Finaly managed to get some pics on the computer,so, here's my setup. Using 2x 125w blue envirolite, 5 inche fan,grown in multi purpose compost and beeing fed FISH-MIX, real stinky stuff but it gives the soil alot of structure and they seem to love it. the strain is blue mystic, ones 3weeks today the other 16 days. there seems to be a strange disease or something on the smaller ones lower leafs i had to open this one when it sprouted because the seed would'nt come off, has that got anything to do with it? and i wanted to flower them pretty soon, are they ok for this and how much yeild can i expect to get? any coments greatly appreiciated!:thumbsup:
