24's ok till you want to flower. It's really preference there, 18/6 is used because of heat and electricity issues. I've never had problems with 24hrs light in veg...

As for the leaves, wide ones like that are usually indica-indicative. Lol, just wanted to say that.

And the mirror's not going to reflect too much really, better with flat white paint. Reason is that the actual reflective part is the backing so the light has to travel through the glass before bouncing back so it's having to penetrate the glass twice.
redtails Reviewed by redtails on . Huge Leafs!!! I could use some advice is this indica or sativa if you can tell. and I could use some lighting and nutrient tips for plants this size, I am on a budget so cfls and the local hardware store advice would be of most help. I use low and high spectum cfls in combination total lumens is well over 12,000 i would say. soil is spagnum peat moss, pro mix, perilite, worm castings, epsom salt, blood meal, lime, sand and love. plus some walnut essence. they are on a 18/6 cycle. ph is at 7 and NPK is good Rating: 5
