This seed sprouted on Feb. 24 of this year. Indoor, 20 hours of light until April 3 when it looked like flowering was started. Then cut light to 12/12. It has been a long time coming but we are almost there. ![oldlady](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/a/4/b/a4bfe3b944a81dcd3369938ef34f1df1851e10dd.jpeg) ---

Almost 5 months of flower? ---

@oldmarine @TimK HUH?!? That’s what I’m saying too. 5 months of flower time?! C’Mon, this has to be a joke …right? But, if that little LED on the right side is what you have been using the whole grow, then … maybe. ---

> [@TimK](#): > > still not ready If that plant is 5 months into flower, I’d hazard a guess that it’s more than ready. What are you using to gauge her doneness? ---

If the flexi-light got that much flower I say look out when you get a better light Your gonna grow monsters Seriously if that’s your only light I hope you caught the grow bug and want to do more with a better light The work you put into that beauty would be handsomely rewarded with a quality light ---

Using grow lights with wide spectrum, what will these other lights provide ? ---

> [@TimK](#): > > Using grow lights with wide spectrum Is that your light in the pic? > [@TimK](#): > > what will these other lights provide ? So much more than that one in the pic. Don’t go cheap on lighting whatever you decide to do.I currently use the MarsHydro TSW2000. I plan to upgrade to one of HLG’s lighting kits. I figure I’m a handy fella and can save a little and assemble the components myself. Karla says what I am is a handful and she will pay the extra. What she doesn’t know is I’ll need a larger tent for my new light. That’s extra, right? ---

The ones I have are wide spectrum, not sure. hold on still have the brochure somewhere. OK 400mm-840mm and 60 watt. Is that about right or what do I need? TK ---

The MarsHydro is 300 watts and I need an upgrade… ---

so it is the wattage not the spectrum ? ---

Think ice cream. Flavor = spectrum, quantity = watts. It’s not enough to have super premium chocolate, but only 1 tbsp of it. It’d be better to have Breyers and a whole gallon. ---

Yeah the watts is what matters in this case ---

OK, good to know. I will look into increasing the wattage. Thanks,
