because I have no idea where I would put them, the only thing
I could do is replace one of the 42 watts I have now with a warm.
After this grow im going to have to make some changes on the
cabinet they are in to increase space.

I don't plan on trimming anything off other than dead/dieng
foliage.

Go for a 1:1 warm/cool split. I guess that means you will need one more socket. I would suggest getting a warm or you won't see the full potential that CFLs can produce. If you can try your best to get at least the one warm CFL. The warm CFLs produce light in the red spectrum which is critical to good bud development. Try to get at least one.

Happy Toking :rasta:

Thanks kush07 I'll pick one up tomorrow I should
have gotten one today while I was out but I did
get a cheapO digi cam it takes some what of a
better pic than that web cam. I believe i can
make the room for another light.

pic took with digi cam I think its a little better
quality pic than the web cam.

Pics, still waiting on sex to show

First pic is of the grow box, you can see the limited
space. The rest are side and top views of the two
plants.

on that energyfederation page, they have a 65wcfl in the 5500k range. wouldnt that be ideal for the warm cfl to use? it's only like 16.95. says it compares to 250w incandescent.

You're giving me hope dude!

Thanks I looked that up. Wonder if they have those at wally world.

Damn it they grew into the light once again I guess the only thing
to blame is my lazy ass. The cabinet had a raised bottom on it that
was almost a foot tall so I knocked that fucker out and it added
some much needed space. I can see very small calyxes appearing
but still cant tell if its going to be male or female organs on either,
neither one has calyxes connected to a stem so im hoping for the
best and expecting the worst....LOL

Still waiting ont them to show pussy hairs or nut sacs ..LOL
Oh yeah I forgot the dreaded hairy nut sac. NOT NUTS
hairy or not hairy!:D

They got their last does of 20-20-20 a few days ago switching
food on next feeding.

how long have they been into flowering yab? hard to tell with ur crappy pictures :D but that middle pic looks like its gonna be female. Id bet money 2 hairs are gonna pop out of there. I decided to throw a CFL onto my Afghani Kush since its right on the outside of my light. They really do work, its nuts.

They have been on 12/12 7 days now yeah my pics are crappy LOL.:D
The webcam takes grainy pics and the $20 digi cam takes orange
colored pics one of these days I'll brake down and buy a quality
cam.

Those CFL's surprised me, this is the first time I used them.

Id say this time next week I'll know for sure on the sex of both plants.
