currently im growing 2 plants. they were not feminized seeds so idk if they will turn out females. I recently switched it to 12/12 lighting. although it looks extremely early, the seedbank i got it from told me that it could be placed directly under 12/12 lighting as soon has it rooted.

do you think my plants are high enough and ready to be topped?

currently i have one 6500k cfl for both of them, with tin foil reflecting all around. will this be enough for the whole duration or will I have to toss in a few cfls (as long with 2700ks?)

for other questions..one of my plants is looking down (as you can see). do any of you know a possible cause? the pot feels pretty dry on top, but i believe 2 inches below the surface it has enough water. that plant has suffered a lot (i dropped it once & i stunted it's growth by ripping its roots by accident)so now it kinda looks wanky. i just watered it a few hours ago.

my other plant is fairing much better. although 2 of its leaves are slightly curled and sort of down. but it's looking much better.

i think i might be over watering it because when i stopped watering it for a day it looked better.
