Yeah, the pics are tiny but from what I can see they look healthy and green. Now remember if you switch to 12/12 the plant usually doubles in size if not more.

yea i am kinda limited on height i could always stack another tub on top but would rather not. right now if i raise my lights all the way up i have like appox 18 inches of grow height left.

there is nothing wrong with starting 12/12 from seed. I have about 20 inches to my lights and I have started 12/12 right off the bat, you don't get as much but you just have to grow it all the time. there are a lot of strains out there to get the biggest bang for the buck. Look at Big Bud or Silent Orange. You just get one main cola. its really cool to see all the new threads started. Good luck with the grow.

yea i have heard people doing that but my lights have been runnin 24/7 for almost a month now and for veg purpose and at about a month and a half switch to flowering 12/12 and let that go for like 2months or tell the trichs have turned almost completely amber...is it possible to light stress the plant with cfl's?

good lookin start man...i vegged(18/6) for about a month then switched to 12/12...was goin to do my clones 12/12 but i would like to get em too about a foot before flowering...more bud!...light stress is possible for cfl's jus like anyother light...jus make sure you have complete darkness for the 12/12 cause gettin that far then gettin hermies(cause light seeks in most likely) sucks for sure! but anyways best of luck man...subscribed and + rep

k the tubs are completely dark when the lights are off because the only way light could get in is only when i open it on the vents i have the carobon filters one on the intake and one on the exhaust

do you only open the vents when lights are on?

my lights are on 24 hours a day 7 days a week and i turn my fans off for like 10 15 min when the co2 is on but other than that the vents are simply hole cut into the side of the tub at the top and bottom with carbon filters and fans attached you cant see any light thru the fans and the filter
