they made a comeback

day 9 nothing but water twice since i had them, 24/0 under 2 cfls had all 12 going but was way too hot so will have to adress that before flowering.

How's the clones now? Hope everything's going to work out!

It sounds as if unless you've got some mega CFL's going on only using 2 you are not going to get much for yield there...you definately need to increase your light or you will have nothing but stretchy clones. 12 plants is quite a bit for just a couple of CFL's to do anything...if you can afford an HPS get one, you wont regret it, but you are going to be very unhappy with tiny popcorn buds using only a couple of CFL's...

ok this is what i came up with....the 2 6in fans that are now inside the box i'm gonna cut 2 holes in the top and place them there facing up to draw heat out of box. Gonna place 2 ocilating 6in fans in case and drill a dozen 1/4in holes in each side of the case to allow air flow. My question is .....when I start flowering cycle and need complete dark are the air flow holes gonna expose them to too much light ? During dark the top to the box going to be covered with a blanket to keep light out. Also worried about keeping the 2 fans on top going durning dark period. Comments please.

I've had my plants for 12 days now and plan to repot and start flowering this weekend. Question is (haven't fed them anything yet) should I give then nutes first, new soil has time released fert, and should the repotting and the time flip (to 12/12) be done all at once like I plan ? Plan to post pics this weekend too.

Nope, almost forgot plan to scrog so I'll transplant and keep vegging.

well here are the girls at 15 days with me, was going to transplant them today but decided to give them another week or 2. still having some problem with leaves browning and dyeing and 2 of them are really odd one been bent backwards since I had em and the other droops, got a feeling they are not all the same strains......they dry out everyday I still haven't feed em bit considering where they started......not too shabby.
