2700k cfl seems GREAT for VEG doing lst and topping

alright so heres the story i have a little chamber under a coffee table thats like a little cabinet it swings open with two little wood doors and ive lined the inside cieling floor and walls with mylar (balloons) and i have one 23w 2700k cfl bulb and its 2-3 inches away from my plant im using top soil with guano and kelp in it and 30 percent vermiculite and 30 percent perlite the rest is the top soil i mixed it good and i have one little bag seed growing in my chamber and this thing is growing like crazy i put a seed in the soil not even germinated and wet the soil with some water with 3 drops of SUPERTHRIVE in it the thing sprouted after 2 days and over night the second set of leaves are coming out is this normal it seems cool to me the faster the better i planning on doing some lst on it and topping it as much as possible to keep it tiny but extremely fat and maximize yield

forgot im also going to add another one of those lights for flowering im gonna switch it to 12/12 as soon as possible right now it has 24/7 lights

Yes that sounds normal and becareful with the superthrive you don't want to hurt your baby

your got it backwards, for vegetative growth its far better to use 6500k as it produces much more blue light

yea i kno but this is all i have right now and im not planning on putting to much money into this im just kind of having fun i might get one but im not sure how to tell anyway it might be one im gonna keep it as small as possible and i figured the veg period would hopefully be small enough so i wouldnt need any of those lights how early can i change the light and have it actually start flowering because of it??

i have ww under t5's and 2700 cfls a few of them and in 7th wk of flower doing very well

well theorectically anytime but remeber that the number of cannabinoids is substantially higher in a older plant that has time to mature but many people only grow their plants very small and young , like 7 inches but most of these people grew the tiny plants from clone and therefore they would be atleast two months old from birth anyway(if u kno wat i mean). id say that under 7 inches tall could risk stressing the plant but im not a exspert, post me back what happens as ive often wondered what would happen if you flowered a plant only 3 weeks old or so, ive just never heard of anyone actually flowering that small

i just wasnt sure if i could grow and give it more light and have it grow better with 24/7 or 12/12 cuz if 12/12 will make them bud then ill do it but if it will just keep on with veg until its mature enough except grow slower because its getting half as much light ill just keep it on 24/7

for flower you want another 5 of them cfl's would give ya a decent yield
