Veg To Bloom

[Bud30002002]

My question hopefully is easy to answer hopefully, just curious about my plant being ready for bloom. I have 7 Nodes up, 3 alternatives coming off them. Someone told me once you get a alternative node to just put em into bloom but i'd like to get advice on this. Also i'm using 3 CFLs with a simple 70W HPS Floodlight with a bulb at 6300k and my CFLS (23W/100W) 2700k. Is this enough light for 1 plant trying to bloom. Any help is greatly appreciated

You can flower at any time you want. Alternating nodes are a good sign that your plant is mature.

is it enough light, no. (it's really hard to have too much light, but possible.) will it work, yes.

those 23W CFLs put out around 1600 lumens each, and the 70W HPS around 5600. that will put you at ~8800 lumens. when flowering you want a minimum of 5000 lumens per sq foot of space.

Thank you GetThis, been debating if I should put it into bloom but been scared cause its still pretty short for being 7 nodes so im hoping that its just the type of strain.


Headshake ~ Well hopefully I did my calculations right here haha. 53 Inches In Height which is about 4.4ft and only 21 inches Wide 1.75ft which gives me 4 square ft... sooo 20,000 Lumens for it to be at least decent? Right now my goal is to keep my medicine going which I use about 2oz a month, and thats including the others that smoke too in my residency.
