You can flower that plant just how it is. Remember to check up about your day/night lighting, Needs to be off at certain times and on at certain times. Just telling you.. Be careful. Happy growing!

You need to use 2700K CFL as big as you can get! You really need to use some nutes without it you won't yield hardly anything! I mean it will flower and you'll get bud but it just won't be that great sorry man just being honest.

Ideally, you'd want a 600 HPS for that space. With the bulbs you have, i'd advise sectioning off a smaller area (2'x2', or slightly less), and limting your grow to that area.

You can always expand when you get more/better lighting in future.
