very nice, why give it 16/8 or 18/6 hrs of light when 24/0 works alot better in my experience. first 3-4 weeks=24/0,next 2 weeks= 18/6, and then switch to 12/12 until the end is my what i do.

Plants grow more at night then in the day so 24/7n is ok but you get more growth off 16/8 FYI during the day plants store the sun light they get and grow at night !!

You can see the slight leaf burn from too much cfl lighting. I've switched off the 2 45watt's for now. 85w of 5100lm is plenty.Also got a couple more seedlings on the go too...

This plant looks like a sativa, indica cross...and maybe indica dominant.

I'm naming her "Swazi Skunk"

250w hps is also in the post.

nope no nutes at all yet...

soil mix is made up of
vermiculite
wormcastings
potting soil

do you think it could be too much vermiculite?

Right so i have my new 250w HPS gym light WITH remote ballast in place...

You can still see the the slight scars of the early learning curve, but I think other than that...she is doing well.

definitely starting look like a sativa now.
