I just started flowering my plant and im using 4 2700k(26 watt) CFLs. I was wondering is that enough light to get a good grow?
Is my Lighting sufficient on my plant?

Hey there again Mister 420! Good to see you are flowering!
I would say yes, for the current size of your plant 4 is good for now. You could always have more, but she will flower just fine. Be sure to watch the temps and be careful! A few times with my plant + growing with CFL's she grew very quickly and sometimes her leaves would reach out and touch the lights. Of course the lights were much too hot for her (Icarus anyone?) and the tips of her leaves would burn and die.
Later on as she gets bigger you may want to add more light. What I did was kept my 6500K lights and added 2700K's. She seemed to like that very much and is doing great now.
Look for those hairs starting to pop out in a week or so! Good luck!

I was debating on putting my 6500k light bulbs when flowering but ill try that.
Im excited to see those hairs, that's when growing gets really exciting haha. quick question to cure the bud does it have to be put in glass containers or can it be plastic too?

I think plastic is ok, but personally I would prefer glass. I think the most important thing is to keep it airtight however.
Yea, it's super exciting seeing those hairs popping out! You should be able to see some in hopefully about a week! Watch the nodes!

what are the chances of my plant being a female or a male.
i dont know what type of strain it is, i remember getting from some dank bud though. it might even be a kush strain!

I can't see in the picture, but if you got hairs you got girls.
Look in the DIY section and get reflectors on your lights.
I finished 11 plants under 5 lights. More is better,
but now you're lighting the ceiling with half your output.
Looking very green there
