This is my first grow and so far things seem to be going great other then she is not flowering. I have her growing in a three gallon pot with Fox Farm Happy Frog medium.
She is a Jack Herer Auto that I got from CropSeedKings.
I topped her at the fifth node and have been doing some LST.
The plant on the right is 61 days from seed and the other is 14days.
At 61 days I would have thought she would be much bigger and full of white hairs by now.
Thoughts?

Autos can take anywhere from 4-9 weeks to flower in my experience.
Plants that take close to 9 weeks should get huge, and yield huge.
It appears that your plants are way too small because of inadequate light.
LEDs in the form of Quantum Boards and COBs are much more effective than the weak CFLs you're using.
 
I think light is an issue for yield here, but I have had plenty of light and had to chop an auto because it outgrew my tent and would not flower. You can try changing your light cycle to 12/12 that could maybe jump start it. The issue you have here is it is not going to produce much at this point even if you get it to flower. People have been successful with CFL grows here maybe they can chime in. I would chop this up to a genetics issue, but again I am not an expert when it comes to those genetics or CFLs.

hi and welcome to afn i think the comment above is right on the money cfl lights are rubbish pal as with yours the only real usable light is the ones closest to the plant as cfl bulbs need to be very close as they produce no heat i cheap led would help you much more or if you have good weather this time of the year put it outside but i would but a budget 300w led or whatever you can afford and good luck my friend if you need anything hit me up

Welcome to AFN!
I just googled cropseedkings, some reviewers say they are good with a lot of bad comments mixed in. I'd suggest using a breeder here on AFN for your future needs.
An auto should autoflower under any light, i'd make a wager yours isn't an auto. If you have a timer put them on 12/12 and she will flower.
I've used cfl's in a pinch in the past just to get some seedlings going. They honestly don't work very well, a cheap 300 watt led would work for you much better. If your serious about growing good meds go straight to a cob or quantum board, you'll be glad you did. Check out the autocob by @BigSm0 here on AFN.
What are you temps? Hi's and low's? I get the best results at 25 to 26c 78/80f

Happy growing
 
Thanks for the feedback.
I figured that lack of light was an issue. Time to step up my game and buy some real lights!


You would do a lot better with some screw in leds. Cfl’s aren’t giving you much light and then to top it off they blast it on all directions. You can buy Y-splitters at Home Depot and rig up a decent light that won’t cost much. Cut the housing/reflector part off and you’ll do much better.
