Morning fellow followers of the 400 watt lighting philosophy. This is my second indoor grow, first time making it this far, so I was wondering, what is the highest you like to grow your plants with the limitations of the 400 watter? I ask because my Barney's Farm Pineapple Chunk is 29.5 inches now and so far, has grown an inch (or more) everyday since I switched over to 12/12. I only switched it 7 days ago so I have a long time to go and it doesn't look like the plant is slowing down it's vertical stretch. I just dont want them to get so tall that I end up with one whispy cola and a bunch of popcorn. Below is all the details you might need.
