    Its an ak 47 its flowering time is like 65 or 68 days its just starting to show pistils at the main stem (the top of it) and most of the side branches, how long will it take to really throw out some pistils or get some bud? Its getting a 12/12 cycle and is getting a new box + light soon, lol it out grew the other one really fast
     
  2. depending on how much light you have on it usually first week you notice pistils and more and more by week 3-4. after that you should start seeing some good size chunks forming on it then it will start to fill in and pack on some weight. a lack of light can slow the process down though and decrease the size of the buds by far.
     
  3. I have 249 actual watts of cfl very close to the plants and I have 2 plants, should I get another 42 watt cfl?
     
  4. id say thats enough to flower it, just wouldnt expect huge yields off of it. running 250w of cfl is about half as much light or less, instead of using a 250w hps. would be much easier to run a single light over the top and have cfls on the sides. just my 2c
     
  5. I have about the same wattage as you but I have roughly 9 or so plants (im not sure how many, theres just lots im only concentrating on 2 of em)

    Main cola 2-3 weeks from harvest is about 8 inchs tall and 2 inchs across easy, its still growing.

    Like others have said, with my similar setup I saw pistils at day 5 on a spot or two by day 8 I had them all over and was the proud father of an all girl crop. The buds did not really thicken up until this latest week of flowering, so id say youll see some good looking buds 9 weeks into flower. (if similar genetics to mine)
