if its an auto you can veg till it starts to show or when you feel its at a good hight a strong stem i'ed give her a month. and imo cfl arn't that good for flowering watt for watt hps kicks its ass

how long did it take from seed under the red light? was it a good smoke?
i tried a lowryder once under the red light and it was terrible. just kept stretching and stretching, eventually i threw it away.

are the yields not as good? :peace:

"IMO" no the buds are of good Quality but not as dense. the light doesn't have the penetrating quality as hps does. and plants seem to stretch more . they may be good for a low rider plants but i would invest in some hps IMO good luck

it only stretched because the cfl lamps are supposed to be about 2-3 inches above the top of the plants, im doin 4 g-o-m's atm under a 125w PURple spec bulb and theyre din great, i can leave the light on 24/7 until the grow is done

u can grow with just the 6500k spectrums the whole grow or just 2700k from start to harvest but its not reccomended , i would just grow with half blue half red spectrum the whole grow, and maybe at like week 4 put in extra 2700k in
