All plants are doing well. The topped la woman under the hps is responding well. The Crimea blue is bushy as hell and is also responding well. The Climax auto was lst'd yesterday and will see soon how she responds. The Sky killer og has developed well and is now forming it's 3 rd set of leaves. The last two are under 52 watts of 6500k cfls in a SPACE BUCKET.

you dont have much height to use so you need to start mainlining your plants. do some research. also switch to 12/12 for light times so they dont grow to tall.

Thanks for the response. I tried mainlining with a Connie Chung plant I used to have and failed miserably. I broke a stem. 1 of 2 there and the plant took forever to recover. I repotted the plant with the stem under the soil but no luck. This beautiful plant did not like it. she died thus leaving me a little wary of mainlining. The la woman is a perfect specimen to do this though. I may give it a try and post pix later today. Will flower soon as sky killer catches up a bit.

right after water like 30 minutes feel the stem you are not super cropping. the close hanger will hold her as you pull her over easy like this. she has 8 nodes i pulled her over around the 4th node. and kept her vertical till all tops evened out.

see how even she is.

Thanks for the info. My area I'm working with is small but I think it has potential for making meds for myself. I made a 4 tall' * 3' wide * 21 inch deep grow area out of a large tv stand. So Far all I've done is hang a hook and chains from the inside top. Line the whole thing with panda film. Installed a 188 cfm inline fan with a carbon filter and put a tall but skinny oscillating fan. There are also 120 watts of 6500k cfl in the far back, their mostly there for the sky killer og seedling and to balance out the slectrum a bit.There are homemade co2 containers surrounding the plants continuing to boost veg growth. I can't upload pics on an iPad. The form will not let me select chose file so I can't put up any more pics yet but I will soon.

with your area i would try and find a 180 actual watt led. the 3 watt diode ones so you can get the light good and close without damage.

check out the cree LEDs bulbs from home depot if you're not ready for jumping into LEDs with a panel, but I'm with DC, your setup is a good scenario for an LED grow.
