You can grow under any light. The 70w is 2100k and is ideal for flowering. You should notice a big difference in your plants over the following week. Good luck

So here’s how my plants are doing at one month. They have started to flower. The flowers are maybe ten days old or so. Most are about 3/8 inch ball shaped. I hope they keep growing and turn into the bigger thicker buds.
I have three plants going. I started with six but three were males. In the back corners of the tent there are two more plants starting, you can barely see in the pic. Only a few leaves and a couple inches tall. But they’ll kick in pretty soon I am thinking.
Odor isn’t too bad but if the lights are on the room smells, hopefully not so bad that the neighbor apartment smells it. When it’s hot enough I turn on the room A/C, and that seems to lower the temp and odor. I leave the window open when I do this, too, so some of the room air vents outside.
I order a carbon filter and fan and duct material. This is in anticipation (hope) the plants flower much more and the odor increases. Right now I’m using a little 6 inch desk fan in the tent to keep the air moving, plus the led has fans in it that move a little bit of air. The exhaust fan is just the business end of a one room humidifier, which seems to pull air out of the tent. It has some carbon material in the duck going to it. Not really sure if it’s killing any odor or pulling that much air, but it does move quite a bit of air–I can feel it with my hand, plus as a humidifier it moved a lot of air, so I know from experience.
So all is great so far. Really hoping the better filter helps and I can keep them under lots of light without getting too hot.
I’m glad things are going so well because I’m just flying by the seat of my pants. I don’t know all the techniques–how much light, how to trim plants, how close to the light, how much to water, nutrients, etc. If there was one thing I wish I knew now, before anything else, it would be how much to water. It seems like I give each plant a quart and a half, then only a couple days later they are light again, even though the soil feels slightly damp. I mean it isn’t brown yet, it’s still dark, but crumbly. Like I say it seems like I am lucking out and haven’t done any harm yet. But I would like to figure out how much volume to give each plant how often.
Thanks all for the info. Will update again in another couple weeks.

They look really healthy. Keep doing what your doing

Hopefully the miracle grow doesn’t retain too much water. They are certainly fattening up. As they get larger in flower they will drink more and more water.
Looks like there’s water on the leaves though, did you foliar spray? I’d be careful now that they are flowering, you might get mold on the buds if there is standing water droplets.

Thanks for the tip on spraying them down. Yes, I am noticing they like water now more than ever before. Fattening up nicely~

Two young plants are showing sex. Pretty sure one is male but the other looks a little different. Can you tell from these pics the sex of the plants?

Those are all definitely males.

Thanks. The rest of my plants are doing great–three of them . . . will post some pics once they get a little further along. I’m not sure which of the seeds you sent wound up the good ones that are growing. If I separate these males and let them go to pollen, can I fertilize the females, or is it too late now that the females are budding out?
Maybe not worth the hassle, and just get more seeds from a supplier . . . ? As before I appreciate your help!

As long as you have about six weeks left, you can certainly pollinate female flowers.

Here’s a couple buds, only about seven weeks since I germinated the seeds. They look close, maybe another couple weeks, but I’ll be keeping an eye on them. Seeds by ReikoX.

Looking good bro, a couple weeks sounds right. About 9 weeks from seed is average for these little ones.
