quick question. I only have 2 cfl fittings so 2 bulbs is all i have. My plants small as u can see in the pics. My question is, should i leave it in flower with 6500k to promote veg growth aswell as flower? because i want more bud sites so i get more bud. Or will it still get more bud sites if its using 2700k? Or should i use 2700k and 6500k together? or put it outside in the sun? Im not sure what to do. The way my lights are set up, one half of the plant will get more blue spectrum and the other half will get more red. Or will this not have any odd effect? Like one side growing bigger than the other? Or should i use sun? Its only starting summer in NZ so the sun has more blue light. But a mixed spectrum would be better??

prolly best to mix spectrum, but no, if the sun is available, by all means use it, 50w of bedside lamp isn't gonna give it too much bulk or potency......

2700k for flower 6500 for veg.

you can do 3 to 1 on bulbs if you want. 3 -2700 and 1 - 6500. leaving all 6500 wont promote veg during flowering. They will stretch a bit more in start of flowering and thats it. It will also not really gain you more bud sites. You need to veg longer to get more branches and bud sites. Once you go to flowering it stops and focuses on flower producting.

As said , you need more bulbs. 2 bulbs will not cut it, nor will it give you and density on your buds.

Here are some pics. I took them just before this post. I have tied her down so other parts of her get more light penetration. As far as i know, a plant my size, 40watts should be enough? I mean shes not very big. I would be totally happy with atleast 4-5 average zigzag paper size joints no bigger than a ciggarette. It would be nice if i could somehow hermie her late in flower to get a couple more seeds for another grow after this but hey...

A bit of a question aside from weed, i dont have another fitting for my bulbs, so if i was to get another bulb, and tape the wires from an outlet cable to each connector on a bulb with insulation tape, would it work? Haha i know i know dodgy but its only other option i have

What do you guys think about me revegging her? A good or bad idea? To put her in veg again for another few weeks to get her a bit bigger so i get more overall bud? Or should i invest in more fittings and have a better light spectrum?

if you were to reveg her id atleast let her get some weight in her. harvest 90% of the plant and turn lights too 24/0 with a dose if high N nutes. but im a noob.

also if theres not a reflector on your lights you should google how to make one. losing alot of light, imo you don't have very much to lose!

Consider grabbing some of these if ya can't get anymore sockets in there. There like 1-2$ at my local home depot/lowes.

edit: sorry there called "y" socket adapters, they are a cheap way to add some lighting
