Hi, I'm new to this site but I got a lot of growing experience and I would be glad to give you a hand.

I got a few questions. How big a pot is it in? Do you know if it is a regular photo period plant or an auto flowering plant? If you don't know then you will just have to treat it with a 12/12 on and off schedule. It will wrk for both Autos and Photos. Usually with photos they will flower with a 20 on and 4 off light and dark schedule so they can be grown in a room where there in ambient light. Photo plants need their darkness to bloom. A closet will do. Did you get a timer with your lights? Is there any sign of hairs on the top of plants? Can you tell a male from a female?
