Thanks man. Out of interest, how long did the entire grow take?
Does it take more time, or less to grow (seed --> veg --> flower) with flourescents?

Somebody, if possible, please give input.
mrabrego, thanks for the tips and for stopping by man :thumbsup:

It's possible those where his lines of thought. Thanks for the "great grow" thing Let's see how flowering goes!

I'm going to go ahead and 'clone for sex' using my flourescents. Let's see what happens. After all, the hobby is about experimentation.

I'm uploading two pics. 1st one is what I saw when I opened my cabinet this morning... something that happens once in a while... not too often, but it "slips my mind" to water them. These plants get pissed off fast! If they don't get their water, watch out!

Anyways, the 1st is before, and the 2nd one is (guess!!) after. How much time in between? ............ 61 minutes. Those plants move really, really fast. They're almost as fast as a turtle...

CLONE UPDATE: Haven't opened the box. NutraMist has been turning ON for 1min every two hours during the dark period... need to work today on: fog dome, and sealing the light leakages to the mother cab (used for clones right now).

Thanks for the help!
