Your plants are looking to stay at 75 ° during there daytime period and around 71° during there night period too much heat stresses the plant slowing growth as does cold temperatures hottest being in the hundreds coldest being in the 60s.

oh and 2 plants in one pot is a bad idea. If one goes to chit it messes up the other one.Bury the long stems as you can.

60 watts total? That's almost no light. Or 60 watt bulbs? Because there is no such CFL as a 60W.

Any way you look at it, you need more light.

IF you can still seperate them do and bury most to the long stalk. 30% perlite. With cfl more bulbs help because of low penetration. Over and around them. I want to see the big bud pics later!:bigjoint:

You need one of my veg boxes..All it is is a wardrobe moving box..has a light hanger bar already.. and a 40 dolla Lowes CFL outdoor fixture, I think it is 6500K/65W It vegges my gals surprisingly well..

A common CFL is a 14W (60W equiv). If you have actual 60W bulbs, you're off to a good start. If you have 3x14W, then you only have 42W total and you will want more soon as you can.

I don't know what your budget is..but if its anything like mine its small..I bought a pair of these to try out.. I have been using one in one of my veg cabs..It works GREAT..if you are going cfl I and are on a budget I suggest you try one..then add another 65W/2700? when you are to flower. For one plant, if you do it right and manage your height, I think it would work great. But you will end up with two or even three of these larger size cfl's.. I use them for supplementary in my bloom room because my main light is on a mover..I have a 65W/6000k "grow" bulb that doesnt work half as nice as these. Ace Hardware had them on clearance last month.

They dont get terribly hot, They keep my box right at 70 degrees with a slow breeze from a tinyDC fan I installed..Cheap..and proven to work for me.
