what you got for a light that's what will determine how long.
this is a copy of Joey weeds instructions:
"Veg for 4 to 8 weeks and then flower for 8 to 10 weeks. It can grow tall so top it or bend it in veg to keep it short indoors. It like lots of light and medium ferts, heavier in late flower."

How do you bend it?
What would you use to do that?
Tie a piece of soft string or rope to a hole in the edge of your pot, loop that over your stem about a third of the way from the top, pull the string till the stem is bent horizontal. In a day the top and all the side shoots will be growing vertical again.

You are going to need more light to properly grow sativas. With ?FLs, you are better off sti?king to Indi?a plants.
is that 75 watts actual or equivalent. Your a long way from necessary for more than one dwarfed plant

Hey dude, I found paper clips work pretty good. You can bend them into the shape you want, break off the excess and push it directly into the soil.
-couldn't find and string.
good tip though, haven't seen or heard anyone mention bending the plant when it stretches.

For one plant, how many watts would you use?
you'd have to have tiny plants for that to work. I'm talking about 2+ footers growing into a low light.

I veged my WW too long and had to bend it during flowering...it's not very hard. (I was at 4 feet during flower)

For 1 plant, 4 or 5. I would use 4 2700k and 1 6500k to mix up the spectrum alittle. 23- 26 watt bulbs should be fine.
