While i agree, you have an impressive number of light bulbs, i don't get why you would hang them like that.
Cfls are best used to surround a plant, they are not meant to be hung like an hid. You have a lot of wasted light there.
i agree and have some solutions in the works. i'm working on designing/building a reflector made of mylar to put above the lights to reflect light back down. i did the lights this way as my grow area doesn't have a good way to put lights between the plants. it's an idea i have considered and may implement in the future if i can find a way to do it right.

I didn't mean to sound like an ass by the way.
It looks like your lights grow nice looking plants.

They wont show signs til you put on 12/12 cycle. i would wait another 2 weeks or so then flower it. looking from your pics its going to be some dense ass buds!!!

No prob dude! is this your first grow?
yeah, i tried a couple times outdoors but could never keep them longer then a few weeks. something always hapened wether it was people or animals they always got broken. i decided to try a cfl grow and have had good results so far. I just added actual nutes 2 days. hopfuly i have better luck indoors.

i have gone indoor for all my grows, the bud is way more dense! which i love and you can control how the plant grows indoors. And sense you just added some nutes today that plant WILL take off!!

haha oh hell yeah man, stunk up tha hole place. I only had like 3-5 60 wt cfls and some 40's and these mothafuckers got HUGE. Same with the mother plant i kept! I cut her clones down but she was atleast 8' tall. But when I ordered they threw in some free lemon skunk. :) enjoy.:weed:

Lemon skunk- I recommend this strain for any grower, potent strain


And some more g-13 ;)

The post was suposed to say 2 days ago but I think faster than I type. I have already seen improvement in the new growths color and vigor plus the older ones seem to be doing better. I waited so long to feed because I used miracle grow premium poting soil and I didn't want to make the soil too "hot" and burn my plants
