Most awesome and excellent advice guys!! :thumbsup: :dance: Wally World sound great b/c I don't know of any horticultural shops at all and i'm scared to death of ordering to my house. For all peeps out there using merc vapor lights, i am deffinately taking mine back today and exchanging for more fl's(low budget sucks!) plants under mv are half the size of those under fl's!!! but so far so good with the grow. full fan leaves all the way around! Looks like a mini jungle

also going for at least 4cfls
ok guys i'll be back soon!

Hey you crazey young lady, how is your grow coming along? Have you tried to poison any poor saps lately? LOL Your a funny girl, I just read your close call story.
Just be carefull out there. I don't really have anyone smoke at my pad and trafic is at a minimum because of things just like that. Once I had a dude over and he was stressing out because of his girl and I had a fat crisp blunt ready to smoke and he took one hit and started choking, then he grabbed his neck and fell face first onto my kitchen flore with drewl coming all down his chin. Was a pretty ugly spectical. I didn't know if he was having a ceasure or something, when he started flopping around on the ground and what not, but I don't like those kind of close calls.

Very good idea on taking back the MVs, should give you some extra cash for fluors or CFLs

ok, i'm at day 31 now. took king kong (nick for #8) out for flower yesterday. also took two clones (using rootone)

at 1 month, all are about 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 feet.

i'm gettin into this clone thing so i'll be setting up a 6x6x6 flower room within a week. i've tried different experiments with different plants as a trial and error method. topping kicks ass. lst kicks ass. topping and lst? priceless!

thanks for info on your way of cloning, bear, i'll try rootone instead of gel though (already have a bottle) and to every 1 else that has helped me get started. hopefully i can borrow a cam soon and post some pics. you guys wouldn't believe, i'm tellin you!:thumbsup:

love brooke

What lights did you finally settle with? Those seem like some tall plants for just CFL's, but do what you got to.

hey blue, i ended up with 2 double 48'' flo fixtures running GE daylight bulbs (6500k, 40w, 3050 lum ea.) this is my veg run. today i'm building a flower box 48''x96''x48''. lights for that will be 4 double 48'' fixtures totalling 8 48'' kitchen and bath bulbs (40w, 1690 lum ea, 3000k) and 6 150w equivalent cfl's 2700k.
hopefully in two months i'll get an ounce each.

by the way, those GE daylight bulbs? KICK ASS!!! most nodes and branches i've ever seen!! plus the hottest point in the fixture is only 77 degrees, so the light can be on top of, even touching the lights! excellent growth!

love brooke

ps. the only stretching that i've had has been lst. lol
