CFL closet grow

[buyerReed]

Ok so my plants are 16 days old growing in good backyard regular soil(not the muddy shitty kind)with only a 1 inch of fertilizer on top of soil and growing under 4 23 watters CFL.8 bulbs all together just 4on for now.
Should I switch to 12/12 now and bend/tie down main stem all the way side ways so plant will be more wide/bushy and stay small?Lst.
I need the 2plants to be 2 1/2 feet at minimum.only nutes I used was a little superthrive.

Nice tight node structure.
I always wait till its a bush to flower but that's up to you.
Larger bush, Larger "end product"
Oh...

SEPARATE THOSE TWO PLANTS NOW !!! lol
The roots will fight each other later on.

Why ask for help if you're gonna sit there and say you know better?

Just my opinion, yes, seperate the plants NOW.
What happens later on if 2 are male?
Not to mention the complications if one plant needs more nutes than the one next to it, then what?
If you want a bigger yield at harvest time, then veg longer.
If you're pressed for space, then flip now.
