why?

well... a plant that is started from seed can not be forced to flower until it is "mature"... so they will just keep growing until they are mature enough to flower even under a 12/12 light regiment...

clones are different.. they can be flowered at 1 inch tall and they will only double to quatruple in size...

you.....are correct. they are sativas though. Buds everwhere. Whoo hoo. get ready for the 2k grow coming to a forum near you this fall.....i love you too.

Kep those cfls as close as you can without touching the plant. And make sure you fix those light leaks before you flower.
Or you could end up with hermie.
Good Job though, so far.

Not only light spectrum affects stretching. Night/day temp difference, watering, and specially, light intensity.

The most common error when growing with fluos or CFL are dont give enough importance to reflectors, wich are esential. And using too small watage bulbs and tubes, wich are less efficients and give less intensity.

Good luck in your grow

Things are going quite well. Wont need much luck to pull this off. although this 400 watter could hurry up and get here. and then its on to the 1k.

sorry for not updating been working over time .First pic is the 11 day old and 2nd pic is of the 11 day old and 9 day old

nice. mine are 7-8 days old NOT including when they were germinating straight in the soil, and they're only tiny, skinny sprouts starting to grow their 2nd set of leaves!! What strain is this?

I have no clue for the strain.Its a bag seed .But if anyone has any advice on my plants or think im doing something wrong please tell me.Also i havent added any ferts yet for veg but i want to flower in about 7 days should i add any veg ferts for veg or should i just go into flowering and then add the flowering ferts?

Hello everyone .Just an update one is 13 days old and other is 11.Bent them over yesterday and the growth of each plant is amazing they doubled or tripled there size .
