the t12's are mostly for extra lighting.

most of my light comes from the 150 watt hps, and 85 watt cfl. So placing them over the plants is not an option because the other lights are there :-)

thanks stinky, Yes i have been follar feeding. my plants need a good bath right now cause the last time i follar feed was almost dark time, but the lights baked it on there :-(.

temps sit steady at anywhere from 78 degrees- 86 degrees during the day, and always low 70's at night. humdity is at around 30-40%

I gave them some normal fert with mirco nutes in it, 5-30-5 at 1/2 strength, so we will see how they react to this. I since the leaves i have picked off, i have saved them and let them dry, and then i crumble them up at the base of the plant, to use as a organic fert. Is this a good idea? i figured it couldn't hurt but who knows.
