You think I could get that if I flowered now?
if all goes right you could...I know nothing about Led's..in a 4x4 tent I used a 400 hps and got 12 zips actually 14 if you count all the air buds.
looks to me like you got the green thumb...no guarantees though...lot's can go wrong...but on a perfect grow, I don't see why not.

Why not? You can't flower from seed till the plant is mature, try as you may.
Iv been able to flower from seed in 2 and a half weeks.

Its what I do when starting new genetics, Throw a bunch of seeds straight under 12/12
Males show around 2 weeks, Females 2 and a half to 3 weeks.
Throw the males away and put the females back under 24 hours light and they back to growing normally in another 2 weeks and really branch out.
Take clones and flower the orignal plants.
Then keep the clones of the ones that turned out best. Pass on the 2nd rate clones.

You can flip to 12/12 anytime you like, until they're mature, they'll veg.
Not so, it's better for them to get a little size first, yes, but not necessary and his look more than ready just by looking at the stalks...if they are a foot tall, then they are more than ready because stretch will be a factor in the tent.

The stalks? The stretch? The indica dom will give the least stretch, by genes not light...12/12 from seed if you wish to get the least "stretch" all you are doing in this case is assuring the photo period the day the plant is ready. The only way to tell is the nodes, which are on the stalk.

Dude, no disrespect, but seriously. Take any indica seed. Take the seed bank claims. "60 days till flower". Plant that seed. Give it 12/12 from birth and tell me you have full buds in 60 days.

NO! that isn't what I'm saying...that is no seedling...once you flip it takes about 10 days to show flower...then 8 weeks or so...tell me that is a seedling? it's not!

LOL I'm gathering you concur. No, it's no seedling, never said such. Said it's ready for the flip when the nodes are alternating. You see it, great, it's ready. Important thing is that OP knows what you and I know, my life is complete haha goodonya brother.
