I am alternating the plants to be above the screen 75% of the time and 25% below to give them just a little bit of stretch but not too much. My last plants were way too short lol. Here's a pic from today, I also am currently uploading a video of the cab tha I took today as well stay tuned for that
stay tuned for that

Way too short, what? I don't think letting them stretch gives you more bud. The roots will still grow at the same rate as top. If top is stretchy, doesnt mean you have more roots.I am alternating the plants to be above the screen 75% of the time and 25% below to give them just a little bit of stretch but not too much.

I guess I am saying that the mass of leaves on a stretchy plant and a squat plant will be about the same. If the leaf mass is the same, the root mass is the same. If roots and leaves are same on stretchy and squat, there will be no increase in production of bud. With cfl you have decreased production in stretch plants because the lower leaves are recieving less energy.
When leaves get less sunlight they photosyntesize less and transpire less. Transpiration draws nutrients from the roots up to the leaves for photosynthesis.

Haha, that's as large as my last plants ever got. Hoping for a monster scrog this time
On a sad note, I opened up the cab this morning and Rose is looking rough, barely hanging on to life. Gave her some water and moved her to a cooler section of the cab and hoping for the best. I've been worried about her well being for a while now since she does not grow like the others

Well I'm glad to have you along for my grow again sir!!!
On a sad note, Rose died yesterday
I woke up to her drooping terribly so I gave her a little water, since it had been a couple days, but to no avail.
Ive been worried about her well being since the beginng, considering how much slower she was developing than the other 3. Oh well, at least it's only bagseed and in truth I only need at leas one female for this to work, although I'd like to have at least 2 again.
Today she looks like this:
Also on a bad note, I am noticing on my two eldest plants, that theyre lower set of leaves are beginning to brown at the tips. Sophia is the most noticeable but it is just visible on Dorothy as well. Is the Happy Frog too hot for seedlings? Should I mix in some perlite or something? Or is this a completely different problem?

3 WEEKS
Little by little they're growin!
Sophia's bottom leaves are now completely yellow and about a few days away from falling off I think. Not sure what her issue is. She is also by FAR the shortest plant even though she sprouted first.
Blanche is having a similar, but smaller, problem than Sophia with the bottom leave tips yellowing.
Dororthy doesn't seem to have the same leaf issue as the others, hopefully she doesn't gain it as well.
When would the proper time be to transplant these girls into their larger pots? I was thinking maybe one or two more weeks. Then I'll remove the screen until they are starting to get tall enough to touch it and then I will put it back in the cab.
