18 days into flowering: are they too small?

[TryingToDo]

Hello. They have been in flowering for 18 days. They are just some random bagseeds. I feel like they small. I dont have much time so after first 2 weeks I switched to 10/14 from 12/12. When can I harvest soonest? I am looking for some feedback thank you!

They just started

You have 6+ weeks to go depending on what the strain is

They look ok and at the right stage small but probably due to cfl lights?

You’ve got to wait for probably 2months by the time it grows, harvest and cure for smoking. You’re wasting your time smoking before then

Cfls just to increase light intensity there is a 400w mh above them

Ahh thats good , did you veg with cfl's or the mh? You can swap the mh bulb for a hps now shes flowering , hps has a better spectrum for flower .. in saying that no one says you cant run your mh .. the thin wispy leaves in and around the buds are more a sativa trait, youve also got some big fat indica fan leaves happening , the strain is a hybrid and will probaply fill out nicely might take 8-10 weeks from now tho as a rough estimate just be patient , and dont over do anything they are looking good

İn veg they were under mh as well. I was planning to buy hps but cuz of corona I am on budget. We'll how much I will harvest under MH

that's only 2 weeks plus - which is very good - looks like late week 3 or early week 4 Use any thing special ??

Yeah strange times , ive never flowered a plant under a mh but theres no reason you cant ... just the light spectrum of hps is a bit better suited for flowering, um from memory i think i used to get around .5 to .7 gpw (grams per watt) under a 400w phillips son t hps but that is very grower and strain dependant.. some people can do heaps better and some completely fail , just keep them healthy, keep a keen eye and ask questions early if things dont look quite right
