bonsai - first grow

well this winter i decided to keep busy and go through a test run before spring/summer comes; just trying to figure out what not to do mostly. It's name is Duke, had a second sprout earlier on named daisy but she didnt make it.

so i've had it going since beginning of december. don't know if i should keep her on the veg or just get her budding.. what do you think?

really since december? i didn't know it was even possible to grow a plant that slow... but with the light your using i can see why jesus man get some fucking light on that plant.. the way it's growing it looks like you tried to LST... pull that shit down to the rim of the pot and new grewshoots will emerge... i hope this helps

move the light closer, or get more light. Wait until the secondary growth has nodes on it, than send into flower, or wait until the nodes on the main shoot start to stagger, than flower. It will double in size in the first two weeks of flower.

thanks, i was wondering about those second nodes coming up.
i've been groping his thing alot actually, cutting down fan leaves so the second shoots can come up and make a "crown". so in total i should have 10 colas haha
i'm using currently 300 w of cfl but you can only see one light in picture.
i keep it no further than 2 inches away at all time since these lights hardly heat up!
