It looks like he trimmed the first set of branches off. I thought the same at first. Although it still looks like it needs more. How many watts you got on it?
switch to 12/12 to start flowering and/or start LST now. youre already close to running out of vertical space.
Yea man she's looking great. Give her some LST and topping. That'll help with the space restriction. Here's my micro grow if you have a min to check it out, it might be helpful. http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-m...rnal-what-do-you-guys-think.html#post17649729
With those 11w bulbs u can get down within 2in. which will greatly increase light that is being used by ur plant. I am using 23w bulbs that 2-3in. from tops. You can raise them every couple days as plant gains new growth.
I have never used a 100w cfl's bcuz I feel the 23w are easier to manage In a cramped space but I do know that cfl's in general loose a lot of light with distance. There about twice the strength at 3in then they are at 6in. With that big of a bulb I would say 5in away with a reflector. See how ur plant reacts to a single light cycle and adjust if needed. Place ur hand on plant between the light for 30sec, ur hand should stay cool.. slightly warm is ok with good ventilation.
