My new setup - Need suggestions

Just planted 4 bagseeds today. I was planning on growing them really small and topping all of them around the 3rd or 4th node. My grow area is about 2ft x 2ft

Lights
Vegging - (1) 6500k 105 watt. 5000-6000 lumens
(3) 5500k 23 watt 4800 lumens total
(2) 2700k 42 watt 5200 lumens
(1) 2700k 23 watt 900 lumens
Total - 16,000-17,000 lumens
Is this Enough Light to grow 4 plants or should i move some outdoors?

Do i have too much 2700k lighting? is it bad to have it equal or should i have more 6500k lights. also the 2700k lights are above the 6500k light.

Any Suggestions?

P.S. this is my second grow. my first turned male but i didnt have the big 6500k light until 1 month into growing it.

PICS WILL BE UP TONIGHT

~Sounds like ample light for four plants. The mixed spectrum is a good thing, and I believe your proportions are just right!
I actually have a 50:50 2700:6500k wattage (120W each, actual wattage for 2 plants)
You will need to switch over when flowering, though. It will be beneficial to you to use the warm tone bulbs to flower.
 
thanx for ur response dude. do you think i should just do 2 plants? i have 281 watts total. Would i have a better yield off of 4 smaller topped plants or 2 bigger topped plants? i can move 2 outside if i have too because i have good spots.

And one more question. For flowering, should i get more 2700k bulbs and have more wattage and lumens?
 
My last grow turned male. I thin it is because i grew it way too big in vegging and didnt have enough light to let it grow female. My plant was a foot wide in vegging with the same setup. i didnt get that big bulb until 30 days into vegging this plant.

I doubt that your seed "went male" Unless growing feminized seeds, It is just as likely that you would get a male as you would a female plant.
You should get more 2700k for flowering.
I think you will be ok with 4 plants. Just add more when flowering to provide for your larger plants.

Should be a good grow.

You need to get rid of that tinfoil. Unless you like hot spots in your grow. It seems like it's working, but it's not a good idea to use tin foil as your reflective material.
 
whats a better reflective material. i didnt seem to have any burning problems on my last plant and its a nice temperature in my box
 
Yea man i would not use tin foil..u will get hot spots and have a chance of burning your plants
p.s judging by the size if ur grow room i would go with less plants(2-3)becuz its gunna be hard to get to the lower nodes when u need to trim/water etc. without moving the plants

I'm using 270W total CFL's with three looking good so far, I would give it a go with 4... =) Grow below
 
yea man in my opinion u will either have more plants with little bud or fewer plants with bigger buds,becuz u only have 3 2700k cfls u wont get much bud with 4 plants(not much at all)becuz cfls need to be so close to plant.i personally would use the 3 2700k for 1 plant(2 tops)i would invest in a couple more 4 flowering
P.S if u do get more 4 flowering i would definately switch out that tin foil/1 bulb on top and 1 on each side of plant is good for each
if u use the veg lights during flowering i would have 3 warm white 4 evry 1 cool white
GOOD LUCK MAN
