I usually let it get 3 nodes and then top.. Then 3 modes and top again. No limit to the amount of times you can top before flipping and everybody does it a little different. Shes to short to flip to 12/12 in my opinion. Your strain type is a big factor in how tall she'll be once flipped as well as how you care for her, width will be contained by the walls. So what strain is it? And is that 5' total space height or is it 1' for pot 1' for light and still have 5' for the plant..

This place legit? Any personal experience using them? i didn't know the wall contained the plant- that helps to know. here is a couple pics of my setup, it isn't much but it seems to be doing the job. I am using one 200w CFL (3800 lumens) and equivalent and four 100w CFL's (1600 lumens) is that too much or do I need more? again, thanks for the help!

Saw another riu member receive his beans yesterday .
IDK about running a 5' plant under cfls, I've only veg'd under them. and that was when I first started years ago. Other members seem to have a lot of luck with them though..

Yea if your doing all cfl grow you will want more as plant gets bigger.but after my full grow with cfls wish I would have lst to keep plant low and even.if your just gona let grow tall.you will want your biggest cfl on top then surround the plant with 23watters.I noticed bud sights with 2 cfls next to them grew dense and big.I had 11 23w cfls around my plant

Lowes had good prices on 23w 2700k bulbs for flower.2700k are so much cheaper than 6500k.I think
I got my 2700k sylvania 23w in 4 pack for 5 $
