SmokesLB i was not hating at all. I had already sub'd as i want to try and help if i can. I just feel 'a picture tells a thousand words'. I only looked at 2 pics but for your info. To upload a pic to the thread a simple was is... when you click reply there is a manage attachments down the bottom below the box where you type your text. Click those boxes and from your hard drive you want to select the pics you want to put in. Then click upload. You can then close that window and you will see some headings down below your text which indicate that the pics are now attached to your reply. They will appear small but can be enlarged when people click on them. Anyway i may have missed a step but i have had a few too many beers. Those CFL's are big mothers. 200w & 300w. Not sure if you plan on enclosing those in a box or what but if you do then get ready for some heat.

I think you will get a lot more growth if you hang those lights a lot lower, with those kinds of CFL bulbs, the light is coming from the SIDES of the bulb not from the bottom. Or so I have read anyway, I myself am only a noob doing my first grow too! Good luck dude.

I have changed the grow tent around a bit you are right the light need to be closer I moved them the over day so they are closer to the plants I am going to be getting a reflector for the 300 watt one.
