i usually veg mine until they are around 2 feet tall. I guess the longer you veg and bigger they get the bigger the yield, but keep in mind they grow another 1/2 size of the plant in flower sometimes so make sure you got the space, which doesnt seem to be a problem here but you need a flower room cuz the 12 hours of dark no light should touch them

[jon.hatcher]

Your plants need to be closer to the lights, they're stretching. Unless the lights are too hot and burning them, in that case you need to invest in new lights...

Otherwise just keep an eye on light leaks and you'll be good.

dude.......u need better lights. High Tech Garden Supply

HAHA
i KNOW, i WOULD RATHER HAVE an HPS light or an MH, but $$$ dont just shoot outta my ass...lol...if it did, I would really get my fiber ;-)
but yeah they are 65w Flood Lights(they put out as much as a 500w incandescent/each and they were only $42/ea

7 plants and 4 being sprouted [if im counting correctly] when you goto flower your certainly gunna need more/powerful lights to get the girls proper lighting so start saving lol

I'd lose those floodlights, because they probably add considerable heat to the plants when kept close enough to make the plants grow. Excess heat will actually stifle growth. Replace with as many CFLs as you can afford and keep under control temperature-wise. More blue spectrum lights for vegetative growth, and more red spectrum for flowering.

When you can afford one, definitely step-up to HIDs. MH for veg, and HPS for flower if you can afford the setup. If you can only afford one, I'd go with an HPS. It works decent in veg, and great in flowering.

Take care! :jointsmile:

haha...these are fluorex bulbs in the flood lights

[TheGanjaKing420]

Is there any way you could close off a corner of this room? I'm suspecting it's gonna be a bit tough to flower these with no light leaks. Just a thought for the future.

[jon.hatcher]

Yeah, I tried growing with incandesents once... it was a disaster.

[klondike_bar]

those 65w floods are probly incandescent. i had 2 in my cfl gro, and when i swapped them out for additional cfls, the plants grew noticibly better.

cfls are the cheapest lights, hps next, then Mh
