:greenthumb: 25 days of vegging and the babies are 9" tall (KC-36). I finally got the new CFL - 125W = 625W 5000K and installed it last evening in a properly rated fixture.

I'd gotten plenty of heat stress from my previous 3 CFL arrangement so I had to prune several fan leaves...but the babies seem to be catching up!

The beauty of this new CFL is that it can be set much closer to the top of the plants (cooler than the previous ones I've used) and controlling cabinet temperatures is a snap: one bulb rather than a bunch of them!

I realize I'd get better results using a hrizontal fixture, however I do have a cone shaped reflector focusing the light on the plants (not seen in this pic).
