Swim is new here but swim has a box inside and requires the help of a genie!

The box measures 4x4x2, b/c of lack of space.
the plant is a sour d hermi.
the hermi is 1 ft 10 inches exactly soil to top.
the lights, 5 100watt cfl bulbs at 6500k and 2 200w cfl's at 2500k.

It is a girl and very healthy now and I think I see two crab claws without stipula coming out. I have some old nutrient burn on the bottom fan leaves and femn-ed "pinched the top growth to make 4 main colas" at 8 inches.

I'm unable to post pics but would like advice to guide me through some renovations because I was told I'm doomed right now b/c I haven't started flowering yet I'm on 24 hour light.
please be brutal on your opinion, but keep cost and space in mind.

as a foot note: I water every two days, I planted into a five gallon bucket of MG soil and the coco fiber for proper drainage and some water retention, I guess. I feed 1 time a week with 20-20-20 forti-loom plant food for good veg. I added agricultural-lime to regulate the ph in the soil and stays around 6.0 while the temp of soil and plant is kept at; 72 F at soil and 76 at top of canopy with Plenty of ventilation. Did not research prior to embarking just followed a friends advice.

Thank you for your advice as to how to correct my situation cuz the cure as of now is to manipulate the stems as they approach the walls and lights. which is awesome to watch, planning on creating a tube shaped top slowly with main colas by tying to bamboo rods.

What do you mean Femned at 8 inches? What do you mean about Swim? Your entire post makes no sense, I'm not even sure what the question is, if there is one.

go read a book dude no one here is gonna spoon feed you.

Learn some basic plant biology and Cultivation techniques,
Then Grow room designs...

imo you need to hit the books and you will answer your own questions.
seek out the answers to your own questions in literature not some
message board. Learn facts then learn opinions.

SWIM = Someone Who Isn't Me

For some reason, some people think if they refer to SWIM, or if they put some disclaimer in their sig, it's gonna protect them from the authorities or something.

Swim thinks Google searches will cause the feds to lay the smack down on his fictional and/or hypothetical grow space. Shhh.

do you have any good reads to suggest I have been cautious of google-ing the subject until recently but I did read through roll it up but im not sure what exactly is the problem I don't see nutrient burn or any of the other deficiencies or problems. Im not sure what is the best lighting because everyone has a different opinion and the same goes with space as far as i've read, and pinching the new growth seems to be something of an alternative to topping..again sorry of the ignorance i'll come around but i'm also not lazy.

from what I can gather you think your plant has balls? you fimmed it but its nearly 2 foot tall already, and you have 900watt of cfl's on it (I think you might mean the 'equivalent rating' ?

it is equivalent rating and and yes it is 2 foot tall, I waited till it was nearly 2 and a half months old to do any forced flowering. I looked into a ballast for metal halide bulbs and I'm considering a 100w mh or hps with supplemental cfl lighting maybe 400w equivalent. I'll upgrade the ventilation with the new lights also.
also yes i see white hairs and crab-claws but not 100% sure yet, I think my eyes are playing tricks on me.

my question is, in the readers opinion what is the best lighting for dense, potent buds of a good size?
I know alot of it is genetics while overall health and care play strong roles as well.
I found a soil mixture that is neutral "a constant ph of 6.5" and has good drainage. As far as feeding, it's currently a well balanced food 20-20-20 but I will change it up for the flowering stage. something with far less nitrogen like a 10-30-20. my vegging period was good in my opinion mostly because it looks of similar quality and size as other grows i've seen but like I said vegetative. now I'm ready to flower.
