I was afraid that the bulbs were incorrect, and they very well may be. was just trying as an experiment, but I think i may just throw them under the 600w soon and trasnplant them into the fox farms ocean forest. The rapid rooters seem to be a fairly decent investment, but I may just try some peat or rock wool next time. aparently the rapid rooters are mad out of organic composted tree bark and they promote your beneficial bacterias.
EDIT: honestly I just realized that CFL means compact. I am sorry for posting this thread about CFL. I am using a normal flourecent lamp. disregard this thread or delete it. I must have just had a huge brain fart. those normal lamps must not even be close to enough.

dont worry bout the no cfl thing. at least the are flourescent. they look healthy. stretched a little. to fix that just repot in some dixie cups. something like the picnic red ones. put the plant a little low in the cup and fill dirt up to the leaves as close as you can. this will fix the stretch thing and now you back to normal bro. i would keep under floros at least two/three weeks from seed. then you can transfer them to the hps. a rule of thumb is one month veg. and two month flower depending on strain. fat leaves mean indica and thin long ones sativa. indica is shorter flower and sativa is longer flowering time. but i have seen ppl put them in flower from seed or after clones root. this is for limited space. do you have that problem. props.
