go 18/6 on the light cycle...it needs the dark period for root production...bigger the roots=bigger the plant

Yea they have been on 24/0 for 16 days now. well the big one has, i think imma change it to the 18/6, when you do the 18/6 do you leave you fan running still or turn that off?

leave the fan running 24 hours...it will strengthen the stem even when its sleeping..now when you change the cycle just keep the lights on until you want to change..the little bastard will figure out whats going on..also, do you have a timer?

Post Update on First CFL GROW!
Ok what up everyone, just posting an update on how my plant is doing, i posted some pics of the plant on the 27th, these pics im posting for this update were taken 10/29/08, 2 days after it being in my new mylar room/new light setup!Here the plant is 19 days old! Currently im running 6 26W daylights, and 4 23 W daylights,wich is like 16,000 Lumens, Gimme some input on how my plant looks. i'll be getting a humidity/temp gauge today after work.Also i switched my plant to a 18/6 and that seems to be working great for the plant!
Also i have pics posted in my profile with the new setup, i would have posted them here but dont got those pic's on my work pc ! :P

Thanks bro, temps are between 80-85,and humidity is like 33-40,i just got my temp/humidity meter last night after i got off work, i've added a clip on fan for an exhaust to help keep the temps down and it seems to be working well!
