CFL Rubbermaid Grow 1st month

[bluesbravo]

If I were to posts some pics, would you guys mind giving me your opinion...I am totally new to growing, and everything I have learned about my setup came from these forums, so I would be honored to get some feedback.

Thanks!!:thumbsup:

Should I post my pics first?? I would really like some feedback because I am sure there is something I am doing wrong, and I know there is a ton of collective knowledge on this site.

I am going to post better pics soon...I actually have about 15 plants growing in an all CFL set-up...I have about 12,000 lumens squeezed into a 2x4 Rubbermaid...there are six very good candidates in there, and I have a nursery of about 9 or so that are in smaller pots...they are all getting 24hrs of light, but some of my shorter, bushy plants are showing long 'hairs' that may be pistils, but I am not sure....the stem they are close to has 7 leaves, so I dont think they are leaf spikes...plus, they are very curved...anyway, if anyone reading this has any ideas, please let me know

Nice man! I had been feeling a bit glum as my plants are a little over a month and not very tall yet (compared to the majority of others on this site that have HIDs or nicer set-ups), as I am using all CFLs and it is a small grow to be very stealth. But your is only a bit ahead of mine, so I feel a little better now.

good luck and keep us updated!

Peace

I have been giving my plants 24 hrs of light, so I havent begun flowering...but I know some strains will begin to show pistils before a forced flowering, and lately I have noticed some long, curved things at the nodes, and I dont think they are leaf spikes, but they look too thick to be pistils..I have include a pic, so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Here is another pic from another plant?? Pistils u think?? Please let me know cuz I am afraid I am looking at something that is not a pre-flower...

OK...thanks for the input...is there a minimum height for the plant to be before I should force the flowering with 12/12? I have place one of my taller plants (about 7 inches high with 6 pairs of stems) in a 12/12 cycle for the second day now, and I havent noticed any changes yet?? What should I look for (assuming I havent started 12/12 too soon?)

Sorry about my typos...I am actually a very good typist, but proofing my posts, it makes me look like I might be ESL (English Second Language), but I am not....I have been smoking some good nugs that I paid $100 for a 1/4 (prices are outragous this time of year); but I hope to be smoking my own soon!!! Please wish me luck

Yo my name is D, and I was wondering how you get the timer to work for the lighting and cooling? Please give me specifics. :) Your help will be most grateful:rastasmoke:
