I got a couple plants getting sunlight from a window sill, and a couple plants under 2 25w cfl's. the ones in the window are taller and a lil fuller, but the ones under the cfl's are shorter (they were the runts of the group) and their green is MUCH darker than the others with the new 'Node split' leaves coming out faster and larger than the window ones. I've watered them the same and fed them the same. What's the difference between them?

not to sure i am still a noob myself. so any1 correct me if im wrong

but i am pretty sure that the light green plants need to be darker.
i seen in a few videos and read places that you don't really want your plants light green

maybe they arent getting enough light seeing that they are in a window sill.
but let me know how that window sill works out for you, cause i may try it while im waiting on my parts to come in

its been workin pretty pissah so far. there nice n each atleast 1 ft tall n smell beautiful. i did have them all in the closet setup but like i said i only got 2 25w cfl's in there and i had them all in there for about 2 days n the big ones looked droopy so i took them out. i just need more light. dont really have the dough for a mh or hps setup.
