new closet stealth grow

I've got 8 sprouts in 4 pots. I'll be moving one of the sprouts I have two in each pot. They are 8" pots, so that shouldnt be a problem right?

I'm using 8 23 watt, 2 100 watt, and 1 46 watt bulb using miracle grow organic soil. I'd like to start these on flowering as quickly as possible to keep them short. I was thinking after the 5th node grows? Any suggestions and opinions welcome. This is my first real grow. Thanks

Gotta love CFL grows. Only thing is that you shouldnt have two plants in one pot. They will compete over root space, and one wont grow well. Have a pot for each plant. If you want to keep them small, you could veg for 2 weeks, then flower them. Since they will be kept small you wont need that big of pots. Any pots bigger than a solo cup should be fine. Best of luck.

never grow more than one plant in a pot since the roots become tangled. move the lights closer to the plant tops, i keep mine roughly a inch above the plants. if you want low and bushy hope its indica dominate and keep the lights as close as possible... the CFLs are half inch from this bushy low rider indica....View attachment 986412

Hey I have a similar lowryder strain "shortryder" do you find that you don't need to lst if you just keep the lights close? Do you top your plants? and when?
