All my previous grows were done with cfls and floro tubes, However this time my seedlings are under my 2 175w coated MV lamps and cfls, I finished the remote ballasts and re-oriented the bulbs in their reflectors this week.
I must say I am quite impressed, all six seedlings cracked the surface last week under 6 cfls at 18/6; after that week my new hid setup was ready, within 2 days under these lights, all six have a first set of internodes, this never happened to me on previous grows with cfls and floro tubes. Even my last grow (just finnished) had very little internodal growth before flowering, and the MV lamps really showed me what decent flowering looks like (I flowered my last grow with the mv lamps, cfls for veg), I firmly believe in floros being more than adequate for good grows, but holy crap, these plants under the MV's are blowing up, they should be six inches tall by this time next week.
