I know its growing slow. i have 3 26w CFLs. im not putting any money into getting bigger CFLs because im getting a HPS

i have 4 plants under only 2x20w and 2x25w cfl, when i no iv got a girl it will be clond then thay will go under an hps good luck

i have mine under a 400W hps light. 1 week today and the 3 i have are all 1 - 1.5 inches tall.


This about right?

how far away are yor lights? as i have mine 1-2" away, and you wont get hardly any lums of a cfl moor than 4" away. and are thay 6500k bulbs? good luck!!

yes 6500k

one light is about 2 inches away, the other lights are a little further i dont know how i can get them close when they all have reflectors on them and clamps. there is nowhere to clamp them.

I moved the lights closer, all about an inch 1/2 away

I have 10 plants on the go for friends. And one plant just exploded with thickness and huge leaves and they are only 3 weeks old tomorrow. I planted 23 and 10 are healthy the others I scrapped after two weeks. Mine are under the screw in CFLs at 100 watts each which I think is like 20 watts normal or something. Can anyone tell me when I can put them out in the sun? I'm in Chicago, still to chilly out I find for now but when would be good?

Your soil looks super dry in that last pic, bunique. some neutral water could do it some wonders Plant looks super healthy! Mine are about 3 weeks old today.
They are really short still (4 inches) but have 2 nodes each, as I topped them a few days ago.



I am also keeping them squat with some LST. SO far so good.

My branches and stems are all pretty thick already! Lots of airflow in that box of mine!

You shouldn't just go by the height of the plant only. If you top it that early that will slow growth down and most importantly what is the internode spacing. Buds form at every internode sight. The more sites the more bud. Also, lighting is a big factor, the stronger the light the more compact the plant will be with more internodes. Height + amount of internodes = plenty o bud.
