it is all going very good with dimmed lights. They have grown close to 10" already.
Not all though. Two out of 7 just getting much bushier which are probably because of a short strain.

I dimmed the 1200W even more right now and shut down two 600W lights.

I cannot do or to be honest I do not want to do anything with a temperature in my cabinet. It is around +25C with lights are on right now.

My first grow was in even worse conditions as it was in summer. We can have +30C, +35C and even more for a long time. It was close to that in a shed all the time apart from nights but with a fan running I did not have any problems with such a heat. And that's on top of a very humid climate in summers. Still got 1 ounce per plant with one just topping and scrogging back then.

I have done it. Most of the top parts are 30cm or over. Now gradually switching to flowering decreasing light by one hour a day.

No happy though with the heat coming from two 600W lights. PAR 1200W is much much cooler than these two.

it can just be genetics. but some things that help will be growing from clone instead of seed and allowing for longer veg. do not initiate flowering until you see alternating nodes or you end up with bonsai tree.
