Need Advice About LED Growing

Hey everyone. I'm new but I'm looking for advice towards growing for the first time. The strains I'm currently using will be Chocolate Chunk, Skunk and Northern Light X Haze. Basically the LED light I plan to be growing with a Grow Panel Pro. Originally I was going to be setting up a hydroponics system but I've decided to go natural with equal treatment. That's since I heard hydro will slow the budding and I'm just trying to enjoy it asap for personal use. Since I'm a fresh noob I was hoping to get some pointers in the right direction.

Also I have a regular plant that's 6ft tall I'm dying for it to get to budding but it seems like it'll never get there. Any ideas to speed that process up? It's outdoor and has been completely natural without any nutrients ever just water and natural sun with these constant showers in Florida.

forcing it is the only way, by covering it to make it 12/12 or less light/ more dark: but with a covered 6' plant... that may be pretty obvious.

you may just want to w8 til sept and harvest it when she's ready... are u sure it's even a girl yet?

lol yea it would make it obvious. I'm thinking of possibly moving it to an indoor setting but I don't want to stress the plant or anything in the process.

I'm positive it's female. Males tend to slump down with thick leaves from my understanding. This one's nice slender and stands upward during the day.

By the way, my biggest concern is that I haven't had any luck of finding reviews from anyone using LED grow lights for all stages of life. The reason why I'm going along with LED is because it doesn't give off any heat signature and of course is great on electricity. But no one seems to stick with it.. Am I risking anything by just sticking with LED?
