No reflectors for the bulbs at the moment.
But the box is covered in windshield covers for reflective walls and I'm currently running 6500k and 5000k CFL bulbs that are hung horizontally to get optimum light coverage.

Alright, well I said fuck the PC box since the panda film was kind of slipping and sliding and just added Aflac into the box, so I guess we have 3 Mendo Purp ladies going now! 
Bengay, (i think) has finally made a full recovery as is definitely building some girth.
Condom seems to be stretching a bit for the light after the second top, which I was aiming for.
They're kind of small for their age though, and that is kind of a concern to me. Even if they were stunted for a good amount of time from the constant tops and burn... But I'm just going to play it out and see what happens.
And Aflac, my PC Box lady went through some weird growth from the first true leaves that popped up. It seems like one of the true leaves grew INTO the 2nd set of leaves. Trippy, isn't it?
Now for the pictures:
Condom (6" tall/8.5" wide):
Bengay (4" tall/8" wide):

Thanks bro! But they are a lot smaller than what I was aiming for
Is it normal for the growth to be this slow though? I mean, of course including the burning and constant tops too.

Ya, Bengay is probably still sending out some roots, but she'll pick up.
How old is Aflac?Less than or right at 2 weeks, right?
She's about right too, being in that 4" pot.
If you had her in a cup, she would be a little bigger I think, but would also look bigger.

Yeah, I'm hoping that she'll pick up soon as I'm getting a bit worried about her.
Aflac is only 1 1/2 weeks (popped out of the soil on the 2nd of February)!
and yeah, I was going to use a blue/yellow party cup, but I had one of those seedling pots from one of the clones I purchased and decided to reuse it instead. I was a bit too lazy to make the holes at the bottom
She seems to be doing pretty, well, other than the weird growth that is

Dam, lazy like me.
I was too lazy to move my lights for a while, so I just kept turning the pot.

Just be careful with that one pot with no drain holes.

Ahh!! Sorry for not being a little more informative!Did I misunderstand?

How many days old are they now? You've been growing them under CFL's this whole time..they look good to me. Most seedlings grow slow for the first 4-5 weeks, then they hit a growth spurt and stretch like crazy..looks like you're almost there.
When are you gonna switch to flowering? did you get the tent setup? got any pix of the setup?

Thanks Cash!
Bengay and condom are both 29 days old and Aflac is 11 days old all under about 200 watts.
I'm planning to do the flip to 12/12 when they hit about 12" in height.
They're growing a lot slower than I was expecting, but then again, this is my first (kind of) indoor grow, and my first time using CFL's so I hope you're right!
I didn't get the tent set up yet since I had to take it down to get it in my house. I'm kind of a last minute guy (yeah, lazy, get over it.
) so I'm planning to set it up about 3-4 days before I make the flip to use the 600w HPS. But the tent is a 4x8 (but only using a 3x3 space in each 4x4 space to get optimum light coverage from the 600w) and I have a 6" max-fan with a carbon scrubber. I also have 2 10" max fans at my disposal as well.And I'll take a pic of the setup later tonight when I get the chance.

Very nice. Sounds like you're only gonna be using half of the tent (4x4)? That's a little confusing but I'll just wait for the pics.Thanks Cash!

And those plants look great for only 29 days...Remember, you topped them a couple times and it's like I said - once you top them they're gonna take a little longer to mature.
Honestly, I would keep an eye on Condom, because she pretty big for 29 days old...she might end up being a male, since males are almost always bigger and faster growing than females. I mean, you've topped Condom twice, and she's still bigger than Bengay! That would really worry me...I hope I'm wrong, but thats just been my experience. They might show pre-flowers within the next week, so just be on the look out.
Good luck

Well, I have a couple more 600w and 1000w at the warehouse and I'm still debating whether or not to use the whole tent or just half, since I don't really want to get too much of a jump on electricity since I live in a Section 8 (low income) housing projectVery nice.

...And as for the girls, they were both from feminized seeds from the dispensary, so I don't think that'll happen. Unless they ripped me off.. Then I would have to complain until they give me more seeds and a complimentary pound on the house for emotional distress!
