Northern Lights

This is my first post. I started my five germinated seeds in an aerogarden. The good news is that I did really well and have had to thin down to three plants. The bad news is that I'm going have to remove the light (I've already ordered a blue/red LED panel to put over it. I'm also supplimenting with an old dual flouro-tube aquarium light - it seems to help, I think even with the enhanced lights they need a little extra.,

My big male is 16"+ tall (I'm thinking it's a male, it's much larger) and my two females are about 11" tall.

Now for my question(s):
When does this variety start to flower - is it about 50 days?

Second, how long is it in a flowering stage - is it another 70 days, which makes the total grow 120 days?

Thanks for your answers

it'll start flowering a couple of weeks after you change to 12/12 light schedule. It should take about 8 weeks to finish after flowering starts. I'd top those plants down to the 4th node or they'll get too tall especially for LED light which has a poor penetration.

Thanks. As far as the lights go, would you then suggest HPS? Remember, I have a two tube 24" set on its side behind the AG. I did this and the plant really started to reach for the tubes. Good thing, I would have run out of room if it hadn't.

And if I get an HPS, any recommendations?

Thanks again for your response.

I use a 150 watt yard light I bought at Home Depot, take the glass off it and drill holes in each corner to put wire hooks in to hang it.
