ull prolly need another 60-45w CFL to help u out .
if u want them short and bushy , ull need alot of cooling on the plant and CFL's , and put those CFL's at 1-2 inches above from the plant .
ull prolly need CFL's on the sides of the plant also .. so maybe get 3x23w and put those at the sides ..

i just got the two plants for now lemon skunk n LSD next grow im gonna try the lumens per foot square method n just cram a load of small topped plants in, the colour im on about is the spectrum blue (6400k) for veg and red (2700k) for flower. im not sure about cloning though id prefer to grow some different strains each time... haha there ALOT to get through

You can use that mixed spectrum right through if you wish, I do :-) 250watts over just 2 plants would do OK but no harm in adding slightly more, again if you wish. The key to keeping plants small is to work with them from just a couple of weeks old and keep on right into flowering, bend and pinch as required or tie them down with LST, use a combination of the training methods. I do this right up to weeks 5/6 of flowering, does no harm at all :-)

I have some short indicas in my thread atm under CFL's, take a look maybe and if I can be of any help just ask away.(link in sig line)

Good luck with the grow.

as i only have the two lights both my pots are pushed together to make one nice bush so i can have the lights closer to the total area of canopy , do u think this could cause some problem ?? fighting for light ?some bits not receiving full light ??
