i think its worth trying, thats all i do is try new things,even if people say it cant be done. i find these small tubes which r 3400k which is not supposed to work on veg,it just produces short and lots of leaf, not much stem either.will look at plant,but really on a small plant there is really very little need 4 food,it cant use food without enough light.nute burns are from tip and go brown,bit like a cigarette burning along.those t4 need putting in a box that they only just fit,heat will b ok,do check def t4 or t5

u can flower whenever u want,the plant might die though it all depends on if it wants to live or not,the longer u veg the bigger it gets,and if u veg for less then 3 weeks its hard to get it to flower and takes awhile,hopefully within a week

im blinded,fan will do good, instead of tryin to bush, you cut the side branches off and concentrate the light on the top cola.the hi 1s r bigger and i say better,sreading the light aint always good. c02 cheap skate u r, little sugar,little yeast,warm water in a bottle,hole in top,little plastic pipe feeding c02 nr your plant.i use on my seedligs,that 1 i posted 2 weeks old had c02
