Ok I have been using 2x6500 cfl (daylight) grow lights, On a 18/6. And I been using them for a little over 4 months. I started her to flower 4 days ago, I changed the lights to 2x3500, and a 12/12. I couldn't find any 2700's, like i was told to get. Will the 3500 be to much? Should I adjust the light diffrently? Any help would be nice.

Some ppl telling me to get more lights, like 6 of each. Isn't this a little over the top for 1 plant? She is about 2 1/2 feet maybe 3 foot high, just a little over 4 months old. And where can I get a light bar that doesn't require me to put a electrical box in my closet wall. Something simple with a plug would be great. All I saw at lowes I would need to cut and drill shit into my wall, and I am not bob villa.

the 6500 are 42w and the 3500's are 23w.
on a side note with the other lights my plant has been standing strong, and what i mean by that is she arches toward the light so like 2 or 3 times a cycle ill push on her branches so they level off. now up untill today this hasnt been a problem, i push on them and they spring right back up. but just now not more then 1h30 mins into the cycle today i pushed on one of her more closer to the light nodes and it snapped right off. i mean i didnt push that hard and befor all i would do is make a circle shape with my hand and go down the stalk of the plant with no problem, so i dont know whats up.. i barely pushed and it just snapped. should i bee more gental during flowering or maybe the less watage is messing with the plant or what?
