Its not in a 12/12 cycle yet is it as if it went to 12/12 then you went back to a 18-6 or 24 on light then you will add weeks to your grow.Best way to sex for a mom is to pull a clone from a mture vegging plant, root it and then when it roots put the clone in 12/12 and it will show its sex which will be the same as the plant it came from. Saves time , money, space and hassle

Yes you take a clone for a new mom. I have let my moms get to 5 feet under 1000 watt lights but find its better to use a shop light or 2 and crop the mommis as I keep mine for a year or so and wanna keep them shorter and fuller for more clones. A single mom can gie a 100 or so clones at a time if kept correctly. there are a few in my gallery label moms. I grow moms in 5 gallon buckets of Miracle Grow Moisture control soil and give nothing but ph 6.8 water its entire life no nutes needed

Im using 1 CFL with the reflector, that = 400 or 500 watts, I dont remember I threw the box out. I bought it off ebay for 35 bucks, a steal. It works great. Its a blue spectrum, The bulb is about 12 inches long!!!

its actually for out doors, like at night time. What it is, is 1 big ass 400 or 500watt blue spectrum CFL Bulb inside of a reflector, with the clear thick plastic in front of the bulb. It looks like a mini street light, except rectangle. I found it by going on Ebay and going to GROWING LIGHTS. Look throught them carefully and you will see CFLs for flowering and for Vegging. They run about $35 with $12 shipping costs. Look for high wattage, you should find it.
