When to induce flower stage?pics)

Hello RIU,
this is my first indoor! Here are the specs of my set up

Gromedic tent 48" x 24" x 78"
5-23 watt 6500k CFLs
5-23 watt 5000k CFLs

I have a 3 month old master kush here! it was originally outdoors until it got severly damaged from a bad storm so i decided to bring it in. i want to maximize my yield so when should i floweR? please help this newb !the first pic was taken a week or two after i had brought it in. the last two are pretty recent!

When to induce flowering is up to you, remember a plant can double or triple in size during flowering though so make sure you have enough vertical room. Some people wait for a certain height or a certain amount of time. If it is 3 months old I would flip it personally, I usually don't veg for longer than 1 to 1-1/2 months including seedling stage. You are going to have a pretty large canopy to try and penetrate through, especiallly with cfl's.

Ya 100% true, personaly veg is 5 weeks max

ok thank you!

Nice plant (love that strain prefer landrace kushes to chemdog lineage)and bud that mofo it still has to go through its growth spurt whern you make the switch of photoperiod. If you try to vegetate any longer you could run into a problem of lateral and vertical growth exceeding your tent specifications.

I like to veg them until either they start to have alternating nodes and preflowers showing, or they take up about half my grow area in height.
