Is she in flowering stage already?

I read on this site that the buds can start to form early during vegetative stage but is she in flowering stage already?
The light schedule is at 16/8, 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness. It turns off at around 7:30 am more or less and it turns on at about 1:36 pm.
The strain is feminized white widow.
Shes an indoor plant in a grow tent that is 2 x 2.5 x 6'7
The light is 4 CFL's Daylight 100 w replacement , 1600 lumens per bulb, 6500 K
One oscillating fan, I do rotate the pot 180 degrees every day.
The grow medium is ocean forest potting soil.
I water her when the top soil feels dry.
Her nutrients are a go Box from GH. I used half strength at first, now I am sticking to 1/3 strength. I did not give her any nutrients after about three weeks of growth.
Now the photos speak for themselves. Last week, ( on the 11th.) I had to flush her out because she was showing signs of nutrient burn,( you can see that the tips are burnt) so I tried my best to flush her out but she was not fully flushed and I had to change her whole schedule for two days and put her outside due to the fact that my house was being fumigated that weekend. She survived the weekend and managed to stay healthy while I was away, I checked on her every day. No nutrients were given to her after I flushed her out and I did not give her any days after that to recover from the nutrient burn. Yesterday i noticed the lower leaf at the bottom is showing signs of nitrogen deficiency. I read up on the site that this is normal close to harvest but the buds are not fully formed so I have reason to believe that she is nowhere close to harvest. I have not changed the light schedule and i have not changed the bulbs to soft light. Shes a month and close to three weeks old, standing at about 2 ft tall. Is everything normal based on the photos? This is my first grow that has been a success and I am giving as much information as I can. In one of the photos, you can see one of the leaves showing cupping? ( maybe it is maybe its not) t he temperature fluctuates between24 to 25 degrees C to about 30 to 31 degrees C. All those other leaves you see on the soil are from being outside. Those are not her leaves.

Seven weeks old and flowering, with 16 hours of light a day? She must be an auto. Definitely does not look anywhere near close to harvest.
 
Aww man. Alright I understand. What are some things of tips that I can do? Should I start giving her nutrients to bloom? Change the light schedule?
 
Yes change to 12/12
Start introducing your bloom nutes
Switch light to hps if you have it
I would defoliate dieing leafs and leafs that don't get light .. and or colas that don't get light.. it will help the ones that do grow bigger..(some people don't)
 
Haven't run any autos yet myself but I thought 12/12 could hurt your yield (light=food and all that). I know some folks do 24/0 the entire time.
 
With autos the more light the better..
with photogenic 12 hours of darkness is a must..
you didn't specify if she was an auto or a photo so I responded assuming photo..
if you are for sure it's an auto I'd up the amount of light to like 20/4 or even 24/0
 
I'm going to start giving her nutrients to bloom soon, I will also change the light schedule to 20/4. Since shes an auto. Do I change the lights form daylight to soft light or it doesn't matter?
 
Ok so here's the way I know it mh is for veg and hps is for flowering.. that being said daylight is for veg and soft white is for flowering.. but lumens matter more I think... example since your using autos a 600w mh would be better then a 44w cfl(I think I'm not 100% on cfls vs hps/mh
 
xjcnows... Did you have all of those pistols before you put the plants outside??? If not then that could have been the issue. I know that where I live the outdoor is in flowering stage and has been for a few weeks now.
 
About the deficiency, the bottom leaves are always going to die off so the energy can keep going up. That plant has been in flower a good week I'd guess. Nice job!
