the seedlings are under 4 24 watt ecolux fluoros.... if they are stretched, then i guess it is just going to have to be that way, as I can't fit much more lighting in the little veg side of the cabinet and still keep the temps down.

I have looked at the subcool threads, but I will check that particular one again. thanks!

Back the the "seedling stretching" just pointed out.

this is what my plants used to look like when they were placed in my dwc cloner in the BOTTOM of the veg chamber.


They were MORE stretched out... mostly due to their distance away from the lights.

Now they are much closer to the light.


If they ARE more stretched now... could it possibly be due to my lights having dimmed over time?

Do y'all change your fluoro bulbs before they burn out? what about your HPS?

Put your flouros closer to the plants. How many watts are they? They should be about 2-3 inches from the plant. Don't put HPS lights that close though, it'll burn them.

The lights about 8" from the plants, as they are under a dome... i will raise the plants up and remove the dome later this evening.

They are looking really good dude! Keep up with the organic, I think you will be more than pleased with the switch.

u can have the light 2 inches away if its a nice cool floro....

good avice! Thanks!

OK, here is another question.

What if I used a product like Big Bud with the BMO line? Would the Big Bud kill all of the micro-beasties and whatnot?

anyone ever supplement an otherwise "organic" grow with one or two non-organic amendments?

theeeeaaaaaanks!
