Hi turtle,

Glad to hear clones are thriving. Yes, you're right the bulb is circular. Here's a photo. I spent $10 for the bulb and fixture. The important fact is not to give them very much light. If you already have fluoros, keep the plants 18-24 inches away from fluoro light source. In the pictures the hydro grow is the same age as soil. Compare the sizes. I was shocked at the time. I was thinking, oh no, I screwed up my hydro.

I am going to make some ww seeds in case of emergencies. Supposedly, male plants can be kept alive by sitting next to a window in weak light far away from females. This same place would not be able to support female mj growth. I will keep a good male in a large storage bin, just till I can get pollen for a female. The storage bin will prevent pollen from escaping. Another tidbit I read, would you want to sleep with your sister? Well, don't inbred your plants either. We have no way of knowing if our seeds are from the same parents.

Be safe. You're doing great!
