Thanks Sensi,

I'll be putting them all into flowering probably at the start of next week. So, i am currently looking for a red spec. light to get in there with my compact flouro's.

I'll be light shopping this weekend, so i'll let you know how my flowering flouro's go.

I have gotten similar veg results using CF lighting....I also included a 100W reptile basking light & fixture. The rep. light hangs between 2 plants with a CF on each side 3 inches above each plant...I am now in the beginning of my 5th week of flowering...heavy crystals...small fluffy buds...check out grow set up board 4 light ideas...cab setup...makin ur own...peace

Just LST'd the hell outta the big one.. flowering starts in a few days.

as you can see there's some nice bud spots i see... at least 6 on that one side

very effective!!

hps very effective...but moneys tight here right now...experimenting with other light sources...
cant touch hps here for less than $70.00(secutity light conversion) parts for conversion not included(rewiring needed) ... for $40.00 I can get 2 red spec & 2 cool white tube fluorescents plus the fixtures..with cash left to buy a pack of papers...lol.
I will also mention I am aiming to grow in a cabinet system....400hps is about the max I could use without roasting my plants... gotta watch hps in small spaces....anyway...peace

So i've implicated more light bringing it to a full 595w of both the blue and red spec. 450w flouro and 145w of incandescent (as much as i can afford)

i'm putting em into flowering on monday!

as you can see there's a nice pic of my setup, there's two more sprouts on the top under a dual flouro.. they're THRIVING!

By the way, the strain is Black Jack (Black Domina & Jack Herrer)...if you were wonderin

enjoy.
