Wow.. hey im sorry I missed your posts for so long.. I was in a political debate and posted like 30 times in one day and this thread got bumped off my active list..
Anyways..
Im not a fan of flowering under floros. If there is anyway you can avoid it (i.e. getting an hps light) you will be doing much better.. worth the money no question.. With 16 x 40watts floros you will be pumping out nearly 700 watts of power and not getting what you want for it.. a 1000 watt HPS light can give you top colas the size of your forearm.. and you can find them used for $100-$150. Floros are great for leafy green stuff and terrible for fruit (bud) production. It CAN be done but if there is any way.... lets just say when you do find a way you will say.. "damn why didnt i do this a LONG time ago" :)
When I think about clones having roots im thinking about looking at a rockwool cube or a peat pellet but im guessing yours are like all in the ground so you cant really see how the roots are doing.. but as long as you see that vigerous new growth and you can tell they are groing like a new plant plus a week or two of veg and they should be good to go.
As far as the other new stuff be very careful and only add things in very low doses.. It can be much worse in soil than in hydro and it is bad in hydro.. I cant tell you how many times ive had to empty a whole res because some miricle product made my plants go south overnight.
again sorry for the delay on the reply.. I added my AIM link if you need to get my attention any faster in the future.

hey its no biggy dude, ive been just chillin. i started flowering last week and so far so good. im just useing the lquidifed seaweed/wormcasting tea in the soil, and a mix of the 38/10/10,10/52/10 mixxed weak mostly the 38/10/10 for folar feeding. ill be useing more and more of the 10/52/10 and less of the 38/10/10 with each feeding.
as for the HPS or MH lights, i cant seem to find any that are a decent price around here. the biggest that i can find are 150w for $80.00 HPS, $60.00 MH(homedepo). and as big as my box is i was thinking i would need at least 2 maybe 3. and that would just be more heat than i could deal with.my box is staying right around 80 with the humidity ranging for 30% to 60%. i dont really have any way of cooling my box while keeping it air tight.and i need it as tight as possible to contain the CO2. im useing 2 fans (1 exaust and 1 just blowing on the plants to keep the air moving). the floros are nice and cool thats why im useing them now. if i can come up with a way to cool my box better i'd like to use HPS or MH. any ideas?

the hps lights or mh for that matter that you are looking at are not what you want to get. Checkout a good online hydro site and you will see what you need. If you need to know the places in TX where you can pick them up for cash I can help with that too.. there are a few indoor garden centers in the major cities.. you will need one sooner or later. Ebay is another possibility too.. you will want horizontal bulb fixtures for agricultural purposes with hortilux or another growing enhanced spectrum bulb. Money would be a waste on anything but.. and cooling them if you have a decent air supply is alot easier than people lead on.. but no they are not easy to cool in the back of a closet with next to no airflow.. just imagine cooling an incandecent bulb (or bulbs) of equal wattage and if you can handle that you will be fine.. a little bit of airflow over the bulb and some air exchange with the outside.. you should be fine
