im growing 2 plants in a 2' tall grow box with 6 23w cfls

so to grow them in this space do i have to start them form 12/12 or do i let them grow for a while then stitch them

one quick question to i have baccto professional planting mix i found a old bag of peat moss in the garage and a buddy said i could have some of his worm casting should i add a litle of both or just leave it

what are the dimensions of the box? and what size pots are you planning on using? if you do it right you can do low stress training to keep the plants nice and short.

Even with LST its hard to imagine you could bloom 2 plants in that space....

Also...what spectrum of lights are you using?

Using your space efficiently is key to maximizing your harvest. One plant with proper spectrum and space management can yield more than trying to cram 2 plants in same space.

Good luck with your grow.

When in doubt go larger. Study up on low stress training. You will have to seriously know your lst before you can flower a plant in that small of a space.
I would stick to indica for sure and almost no veg time. i suggest nirvanas short rider, she stays short and the smoke is really good for the time it takes to flower her.

Unless you go with autos you will need some veg bulbs as well. 6500k's

Autos dont care what type of light you give them.
