For now, that's plenty. Could you flower with that? Yes. It won't get you on the cover of High Times but if it's all you've got, go for it.
Keep your humidity in check and don't over water. Also keep your veg time short.

When you're ready to expand, let us know what you have in mind and we'll go from there.

my baby mama is a little over 4 weeks, i was just wondering a couple of things: 1. do i top the plant or just leave it alone if i want it to be a mother palnt
2. if i do top how long should i wait
3. should i to take the cfl out for right now i know they say "there is no such thing as TOO much light for a successful yield.
also on expanding im thinking SOG but im pretty sure i would need more than one baby mama, am i correct?

You wanna do a dozen plants with that setup? Nope.. Sorry.

If you top, you can clone that. Give it another 2 weeks of veg or throw straight in flower. That's up to you to decide and what your plant likes more.

For now... Clone a couple, flower one get the hang of it... Before you go all commercial on us lol

Can you get some pictures of your plants and your equipment? I'm very visual and hands-on, so I'm having a hard time getting a feel for what to do here without seeing it.

Let's get what we already have straightened out, then we'll expand

...


Ok you posted pics while I was typing ... I type kinda slow but if this thing had a rotary dial I'd whomp.

Anyway what are your options as far as adding light? I think you're good for now, but your plants will be wanting more soon.

I wouldn't be worrying about topping right now, I would let them get some more growth first under those lights while we figure out how to sustain them more long term

well the flour bar is 72 watt plus the 42 cfl i was going to take out the cfl and throw in another 2 of the bars. i havnt added any nutrients what so ever except whats in the "NK all purpose starter organic mix" and i let my water sit out about 2-3 days. i have a reliable source that told me to add a tea spoon of Epsom salt to a gallon of water and to do a top dressing with bat guano, but not until i switch to a bigger pot. any objections to this?

Honestly... The way I look at it is, cloning happy comes very easy to me.. Like trigger happy know what I mean?

Which is why I only grow from seed to flower and no cloning... I don't want to go to a Pound-Me-In-The-Ass Prison Lol

Once you feel like you got the hang of it, spending money on seeds will be a weekly thing my friend

i feel you on that which is why i was a bit skeptical at first, then i thought "why do i want to be the old man in the back of the room wondering what if? when i can be the old man spreading knowledge based off of experience. but to each it's own.
