Sunday! Time for an UPDATE!!!!

Thanks for all the many and superb replies! It has been a trying week. I have watered my plants and a few days have past. It is time to water+ nutes now.

Just recently I added in some more lighting. I brought out my CFL hood I built on my first grow that holds @600w (actual wattage) of cfl (about 42k of lumens at 1 foot and @ 75k of lumens at less than 6 inches.)

see pic#1

The light hood is built out of PVC and can hold 12-23 cfls depending on configuration. Currently holding 21 cfl's. mixed 42w, 68w, and some smaller 26w cfl's.

I hung it up next to my 600w HPS so I have 2 600w lights up above my 9 plants in this4.5X4.5 tent. ringed by another 300w of cfls, and lined on the sides by T5 panels. Underneath on top of the containers are 2 T12 strips to light the under carriage.

I come up with about @2000w of total light usage spread all around the plants.

I really want to avoid Trimming any leaves off my babies unless I have too so I have added all this light to enable full penetration of as much light as possible.

Look at the pics. what do you think about this newest addition. Is it wise, and do you think the plants will respond positively? and I will need to trim?
GTMan2010 Reviewed by GTMan2010 on . What would you do? Photos and Poll Well I'm stuck with a dilemma. I have a 4.5x4.5 space tented with Black/White poly. It is illuminated by a 600w HPS overhead, and 2 T5 panels on one side wall, and ringed by clamp lamps holding dual CFL's, underlit by T12 strips. Well lit canopy with some light hitting every area of the plant My plants are rotated 90 degrees once a day, and rotated into a new position in a 3x3 grid (I have 9 plants) Vented by a box fan hanging from bungie cords inside the tented area, and a box fan Rating: 5
