Thanks for the feedback mate,

I'm not sure if its because I had a short veg cycle or because its running on low wattage.
I'm not 100% if its light leaks because the I fixed the light leaks from outside, the only place light leaks out my cab right now its through the exhaust part, which its a separate unit. The light is more intense inside then the light in my room I have a 12w 2700k in my room to light up my whole room vs the 20w x3 inside my cab. I don't think it would reach under the exhaust unit and leak into the cab.

Any one have any reference pics in 2nd week of flowering under low watt cfl?
Or is there a way to test for light leaks inside?

the first three weeks of flower is usually the time when plant grows the fastest. it's not unusual to go two weeks in without much in the way of bud formation especially if the plant was still young when you flipped it. keep tying it down thats about all you can do if you won't cut it.

but yeah you should be making sure you have no light leaks.

I finally see the first of the little hairs pop out, Its week 3 almost week 4, I'm scared that my ladies won't be potent but time will show. I will post more updates as soon as I see more development.

I am using Tiger Bloom, from Fox Farm's line of products.

Some strains can take a little longer to show sex sometimes especially with such short veg time. Don worry give em time and you may be in for a surprise.

i have a strong feeling youve already out grown your cab, for one you didnt top those plants to keep them smaller. i really hope im wrong for your sake.

its looking good otherwise, this being your first time you need to know height control is absolute key to getting a good harvest off of a small grow or low light grow. you should also train your plant earlier on.

I think you'll be fine height wise but yes, lower bud formation may be a bit weak. I'm yet to find out how light penetration is with CFLs but most people seem to advise getting the plants as close to the lights as possible. Looking good and healthy and I'm sure they will reward you for that.

Here are some updates:
Both ladies are starting to flower.
The Calyxes are developing 15% faster.
I may start trimming some leaves in order to get more light and reflections to vital points.

What do you guys think?

Absolutely...you need start to trim something because the amount of light on the low pre-flowers is near to zero...

Yeah, I have trimmed the plants a bit.
I think its too late for a LST shelf, but I may go for it on my next grow. They are however tied down. with wires. not large bends but decent size bends to keep the girls down.
