First grow...indoor bagseed w/CFLs

Alright, they did end up vegging for about 11 days on a 20/4 cycle, but from here on out they'll be on a 12/12. I have daylight CFLs on them right now, but once they start to flower/show sex (whichever I can identify first) I'm gonna switch them to soft white CFLs.

By light proof he means no extra light gets in when it's on it's 12 hours of dark. And no light gets out when they are on their 12 hours of light........The latter half is more for stealth than anything else.......

When ur flowering, it has to be 100% dark with no outside light coming in, or it'll throw of ur flowering cycle.......

Well, actually I was going to try to both veg and flower in the same room, but I cannot light proof between them.
I wanted to flower on the left half and veg on the right half but I cannot create a lightproof divider. I hope this makes more sense.

Hey guys, I've been doing a little reading and I've seen that some people believe mixing the lights spectrums is best. Is this true? Or is it best to veg with 6500k and flower with 2700k?

Thanks and I may have some new pics up within the hour.

Here is the pic. The one on the left seems to be growing the best so lets home for a female.

You can go with all red spec lights and flower or you can mix it up- I think it's more personal preference. But if you do decide to mix it up, you wanna have more red than blue- something like 4 reds to 1 blue?

Day 16 I believe. First two pics are of my best seedling. If I can get a box built before it begins to flower I'm thinking about making it a mother if she's female since it seems to grow so well in my design. How hard is it to clone plants?

The last pic is of the flowering plant but she seems sick, can someone help?

Hey guys, hope everyone had a merry Christmas. So my lights have been on 12/12 for a little while now and the mature one showed it sex...drumroll please...male. So now that is dead I have a few smaller plants that haven't matured yet. So how much stress would it put on the plants to change them back to a 20/4, since they aren't mature yet could it change females to hermaphrodites? I would like to increase the vegging time so I can get quite a few more plants in there. Thanks for any help!
