I moved the plants from my box outside because they were getting too crowded. I just got a timer and run it currently from 8-10 PM and from 5-6:30 AM. I am using just one single 14W power saving flourescent bulb In a socket with one of those reflector cones around it. The plants have been out for about a month and are doing outstanding. They are growing way faster than at any time when they were in the box. I built a cage around them and throw a tarp over them at night so they don't glow so badly.

I don't really have an insect problem since I let the chickens range through my yard. They eat every bug, snail or whatever they can find.

I am following the law to the letter which means I will have 6 plants, 3 each in veg and bloom. I am also growing in soil. Since it is very easy to move my plants from inside to outside, currently for about 6-8 hours a day here, I am dragging them inside and outside 4 of 7 days of the week. I have a cheap light meter but when I take it outside, even in the shade or cloudy days, it maxes out (2k+) on the Rating: 5
