You need to transplant to a MUCH BIGGER pot bro. I bet you have to water everyday to keep it alive, I can also see it can no longer take in any nutrients and the bottom leaves are yellowing and will fall off soon.Try a 5 gallon pot with plain topsoil, no special Miracle grow shit either. You need to transplant NOW or the plant will not flower worth a crap since it is so root bound. Transplant and veg for 2 more weeks, then go into flower , use light for veg AND flower. Needs time to recover and start spreading its roots to new nutrients.

what drama said, and -

a 600 will give you great light but you need to watch out for heat stress to the plant from direct light and too hot a room temperature from indirect heating.

- hopefully you have an aircooled hood.

- set up the light and whatever ventilation you have planned before you move your plants. test the room temp after at least several hours, preferably 18 and make sure your room temps stay below 85. fix it before you move the plants if its too high.

- use your hand to determine how close the plants can be. if your hand can stand the heat, so can your plants. keep the light at that distance for the entire grow.

you also need to make sure your plants are getting enough fresh air to provide them with co2. again, ventilation from out of your growspace is by far the easiest way to get co2.

and what is this can i go back to veg for 2weeks with no harm done?
more ventilation is the only way to cool the light. if you're stuck you can do a ghetto set up with water frozen in 2 liter bottles in front of your fan.

not sure nodrama realized you were in flower already. he's a good guy -pm him and ask. my answer would be to keep it in flower.

and no, don;'t top

Good! Then just water it real good and let it veg under the 600W light for 2 more weeks, THEN flower it out and it should do really good. Let the pot get dry between waterings. If you use the Hornby nutes, use them at 1/8 strength every other watering. Less is more basically, the soil should have enough nutes in it to let you get it all the way through flowering. The 600 watt light would veg plants faster and better than sunlight through a window, the glass takes out most of the suns rays.

Bah I didnt post my reply, GF got my attention, so this post is a bit old, I didn't realize you were already in flower, keep it in 12/12 then, no need to stress it. transplant, but DONT go into veg.

sorry to bother you but are you familier with dr hornbys nutes? the 1s in my pics?
if so could you be so helpfull to advice me when to use them as last time went wrong in a big way at the end!

should i use the nutes all at different times of the flowering or all from the start? like you said before at 1/8 of the recommemed stength.
