Hey new grower here. So I just put my girl into flower like four days ago. She's under 8 23w CFLs 2700k for 14 off 10 on . Is this enough to get a decent yield. I feel lost for expectations. Any advise is appreciated. Or even just your experience . I attached photos. Thanks!

I think you only need 12/12 of light/dark. 12 hrs of dark i know is needed for proper photo cycle though. I'm not sure if the extra 2 hrs of dark will help any. Don't know that for sure though. Other than that, from what I can tell from your pic, your plant looks pretty healthy. Keep those lights as close as possible to your plants, especially during flower to get the densest buds possible. Good luck! Happy growing!

just do 12/12. That amount wont use much power I am unsure why you would go 14/10 ?

I can't do that at the moment. I am thinking about getting that kind of light For a future grow when I plan to grow a larger amount. It's my first grow.

she looks good! im running 15-23wtrs and one 32w for 12-12. i switch to 12-12 gradually at the start. then at wk 4 to 11-12 then final 2wks 10-12. But thats me.... i would add some blue spectrum to the mix. It definitely makes a difference. The sun naturally produces the blue spectrum yr round. helps with the photo period. goodluck to you!

So should I put some veg bulbs in the mix for extra watts and spectrum.

absolutely! 70% red spec 30% blue spec and it will keep them more compact...... thats the ratio i use.
