Yeah i was thinkin about putting one 2700 in the middle. But im still not sure about the hours, because my hopes are to get it 14 inches tall max so what hours are the best?

how long has it been vegging? you might have to let it veg for a little longer in that case

as for flowering, 12/12 will definitely work

try to fit as many bulbs as you can in there too

I would say that its just about ready for a top or FIM. After you top it you should wait a week and then flower. I would also do some LST if you have height concerns. But I agree with jweezy you should put a lot of 2700k bulbs in there and you will be very happy with your harvest. You should get a 3:1 ratio of bulbs. For example 6 2700k and 2 6500k for flowering, vice versa for veg.

yeah i think Im going to wait for the top node to grow a little more, then top it. As for lsting i might try that soon! Idk im wondering how i could fit more bulbs in there. Im starting to think to screw the power strip and set up something else?? the dimensions are 17" by 16" by 6"

i think thats wayyyy to short for a yield yet

try to grow it a little taller. give it about a month total of veg time depending on your strain.

try to place the light higher if you can, that way the plant will grow taller up towards the light.

and you will DEF wanna switch to 2700ks for flower. the more lights the better.

Looks good man! I think you should get 2 2700k 27 watt bulbs and one 6500k for flowering, but the more bulbs the more buds. Be prepared for a double or triple in size within the first few weeks of flower

hahaha sorry to hear the bad news, my mom found mine last year and long story short, it didnt go over well. If you do continue, you are ready to top. Just pinch the very top 2 leaves together, and pull them off. It is very easy and will work

if you don't mind, i'd like to throw in a question. what will happen if you don't have 6500K lights for vegging?
