is this enough light? how tall? please help!!

x2 23w cfl, x2 t12 40w fluorescent tubes, x1 plant. in a 4 x 2 area.... is this enough ligh to veg/flwr? and how tall should she be before she is turned on to 12/12.. i have heard they can double in size during the flwr phase, is this acurate/false statement.


thnx for any and all help. it is all very much appreciated.

that will be sufficient light for your plant. just remember to keep the plant about 2" away from the bulbs. use 5000k-6500k bulbs for vegging and 2300-2700k bulbs for flowering. depending on the strain, some do double in size. do some searches on here on how to train your plant. I use 60-80watts of cfl's per plant in a space that is 3.5'x2' and 4' tall. my plants dont get over 2' tall when finished. if that is all the lighting you can get for now, then i would start flowering when she is about 10-12" tall.

Never grow one plant, man. Go for two. Even if you only have space for one full plant, I'd always advise starting with two for new growers.

^ya don't grow just one.. and they can triple in flower stage(strain, light, nutes, love).. i'd use what you got till about 1 1/2' tall.. and i'd go for a 600w hps in a hood if you could to flower with if you some good results.. at least 400w.. but 1000w really

thnx bro info helped alot.

i'd also recommend growing 2 plants, not 20 or 90. each plant requires a certain amount of maintenance no matter how small. best to grow 2 so 1) you can experiment on 1 and 2) you will have 1 left after one dies. or twice the bud if i'm wrong.
