The 13 watt LED is not worth it. Get yourself more CFLs or higher wattage bulbs, more light.

Are those clones? They seem to really be stretching. More light or get the light closer to avoid stretching.

no they are not clones, yeah my buddy said the same thing get light closer.it's grown in rock wool and those lava type rocks in a netty pot type of set up pumping air into the water to get to the roots.no nutes yet as they are only 2 weeks old.As soon as I can afford better lights I will upgrade.

IMG_0172.jpgIMG_0173.jpg Heat is now under control and under growth is starting, I now understand why more lighting is a must. I have been adding 1/2 of a 1/3 Tbs of nutes to each resivour 2 times a day. They seem heathly and happy but OMG the root systems are huge I know now that the resivors should have been bigger.

Definitely looking healthier, filling in a lot more. Curious to know if that small LED is doing anything beneficial for you though. I have been curious about buying a smaller LED to accompany my CFL's but haven't gotten around to it
