I think I've struck a happy compromise: the CFL/LED combo seems to provide just the right amount of the appropriate light spectrums while keeping cabinet tempertures manageable.

My "24/0 vegging until the sprouts grow a second set of leaves" seems to have allowed the plants to grow short and bushy and avoided the legginess the 12/12 from seed seems to give. To save time I initiated 12/12 once the sprouts seemed healthy enough. This is what they look like now! :hippy:

Clean slate I can't even call this Day 1 since I've just harvested what's left of a pitiful Afghani Special grow...several problems arose, I believe it was too tall a plant for my cabinet, it became rootbound in the plastic popcorn container, the leaves were yellowing and curling up dry in spite of wet soil... Anyway, I salvaged what I could of that female. I cleaned the inside of the cab with a wet cloth to remove any residual pollen (I hope it'll be enough) and thoroughlly sprayed the exhaust fan Rating: 5
