r u saying u r growing in a box, with max height of 4 ft? if so with the light in there, u r not going to have much room at all for vertical growth. T5's r great, especially with seedlings, make sure u keep them close, like less then 2 inches above ur plants at all times through grow!

I say the height is good because if you have a seperate room for flower under hps then 2-3ft would be the height i like to put my babies to flower just keep in mind if you do have hps it still going to stretch.

I grow in a smallish box just slightly bigger than that & I LST to control the height. Works GREAT! I supper-cropped once (we'll call it that.. when you break your plants) & that worked good too but the LST is the way to go IMO.

confused, dial what down? Meaning cut the lights to either 18/6....16/8, or somewhere in between, if so the answer would be after the first week, yes I would suggest that to give them some needed downtime.
