Well this morning I spotted two pistils coming out of a calyx on my bigger plant. So she is a female :D But the smaller plant has balls coming out everywhere. Fucking males...

I have heard that you can use CFL's for flowering, but no one is crazy about it. Especially if you're looking for a higher yield and denser buds. That is why I ordered a 400w MH with a ballast. Might convert it to HPS, not sure yet. A lot of the experienced growers and people who grow more than 4 plants tend to use HPS.
 
now i have just 1 plant , 9 weeks old, very bushy , (i did read about topping just 1 hour ago:).since 8 weeks it was under cfl white lights 18/6 , it is almost 2,5 feet tall , 2 days ago i changed the bulbs with cfl warmlight 12/12( i thought that is what i have to do to force her flowering) , using a auto-pot btw.
my question is , should i trim her?because she is really bushy

Did you start from seed? If so, are they auto-flowering? If they are auto's you can leave the lights on 18/6..18/6? huh never heard of that anyway. 12/12 is for photo period plants that need the 12/12 setting to go into flower. I have read that you should trim before flowering, and most likely right after. Only if your plant/plants are or is healthy. Don't trim after 10 days of flowering or even a week I would say. If you are thinking about topping, I wouldn't. It's better to do in mid-to late veg stage.

Yeah trim that shit at the bottom and lollypop it i.e. making it look like a round bush. I don't know how much room u have but if its not much don't top it or it will spread out like crazy, just let it grow one big donkey dick. if you have a small rm to grow in id veg for about 7-10 days and then put them into 12/12 and you can harvest in about 60-70 days.
 
she is a el nino , not autoflowering... but i guess i am in flowering stage , check the pics please and maybe u can give me some advice ...

yeah its bushy as shit and id flip it to 12/12 she is way big enough to put into bloom. other wise you're gonna have what i have a 3 1/2 foot plant with about 12 branches that took all my space up. trim the bottom for sure but don't do a lot in one day, do a little one day and a little a couple days later, don't wanna shock it and make hermie if she is a male.
