6 weeks left and no room

well I'm on 1 1/2 weeks into flowering and I'm out of space. Should I start to lst some of the branches now or wait till i know they will be touching the light? I'm not sure how much growth the plants have left. I still haven't seen signs of sex yet. Also a side question about lighting, I've been using a 42 watt 65k cfl in the front of the box to get a more natural lighting mixture but seeing it hasn't shown any flowering I'm wondering if it is because of the 65k and should it be replaced?

seeds are dutch passion white widow and orange bud.

If your flowering, you do want to switch to 27k light spectrum. As for outgrowing your area, I'd either tie down, or top them within the next week and then just try to tie down or pinch and bend from there if you can't move your lights.

yeah , as mentioned , u can either still top w/o major loss in anything , try to tie them down , from what i can see u got some more room to lift the light and or lower the pots ...
 
yeah I'm probably going to tie the bigger stems down by next week. The lights are at max height for the box because roof and hangers ie twisty ties. Both plants are in one dwc tote on the bottom of the box. As it is right now there about 6 in of space before touching the blackstar but it hard to tell how much they will continue to grow while flowering because I've never grew these seeds before.
 
nice sea of green dude coz its led they should not burn the plants to much as long as u have a fan blowing over ur plants, buy a grow tent or make one you need head room. but looking very good

tie the lamp system with cords or with whatever u can , u can gain some cm's

whats the strain really ? looks nice

i would cut some top fan leaves in order to let light penetrate more or better clean up the lower1/4 - 2/4 part of the plants
 
white widow is on the left and orange bud is on the right, its kind of hard to see because they became so bushy, got both of them from the free ufo in December from attitude. I was going to grow mekong but my thermostat fell on it in the first week causing damage that could not be repaired.

dp ww is what i smoke the mom i speak , my fav by far , feed them both lots of cal/mag + micronutrients , her apetite on these have taged it tough to grow in the 90's , apart of that the most rodust strain

how much u veged ? in terms of time and height ? ig u flowered while she has shown preflowers shes gonna stretch somewhat for 14 days , if not shes gonna double so its very crucial on when u started flower

and btw , CUT THE LOWER BUD SHOTS ASAP , U GONNA GAIN LOTS ESPECIALLY UNDER LED LIGHTING , the size gain is obvius but the tightness is what makes u go wow , rock solid buds that they do "bump " if fall in floor

btw i have already replied saying bout the same , well this is one of the effcts of it , im so stoned , i go eat now...

Plants look grrrreattt. I can't imagine no flowers yet after six wks of 12/12? What's up with that?
Hey next time try UB's topping technique for growing two to four mail colas. Space saver and the finished colas are sweet man.
EZ enough to find here. It's stickied.
 
its only been 2 weeks of flowering and a total of 6 weeks from seed. I veg them for a month, as for height I'm not sure.. I'm sure they are going to be female but i still dont see any pistils as of yet. This somewhat worries me because looking at others who grew ww before, by the second week they already have buds forming. I trimmed and tied down the plants today, that gave me maybe an extra few inches.

My bad. I thought it was 6 wks
2wks should be enough time to show sex. And don't compare your grow to anyone else's grow.
Only the end result matters and I think ur coming along fine
