Well, I've moved to 18/6 lights instead of 24/0. I want to say I've noticed an immediate difference in the health of the plants. My biggest plant grew 4 baby leaves over night after being in the dark for 6 hours.

So I think I'll stick with this. I had been on the fence over this for a while because both sides argue that their light timing is the best, but I think for me I'm going to stick with the 18/6. I think it gives my plants a chance to rest, wastes less electricity, and I don't have to worry about the light leaking out when I'm trying to sleep now <grrrr>.

I was going to post new pics today but now that I have them all transferred into their new pots I'm going to give them until Friday or Saturday without water. See if they perk up. I don't want to show people any busted plants.

On another note, has anyone ever heard of a plant tearing it's own leaf trying to get to the light? Like not tear it off but there's a tear in the actual in the middle going horizontally going across it.

Thanks,.

I finally decided that it's probably best just to start a grow log. Here is the room setup. Room Dimensions: 2.2' x 12' x 9' (maybe 10). Shelving system: 2 shelves. First shelf is 18" tall, Second shelf can run up to the ceiling. Both shelves are slightly more than 4' wide. Lighting: These are all daylight CFLs. Should be 6000k-6500k on the color temperature scale. I have 8 27watt bulbs Rating: 5
