actually 19/5. Moved the lights so they're all 2-4" from the plants. Temp was at 73 with a daily low of 70 and high of 84. Door was shut for all but 20 minutes of the day.

Glad to have you along. Here's some updated pics of plant a - the best looking one. I'll be sad if this turns out to be a male. Any signs of fem? (dont think there's pistils yet) Day 29 of veg:

Didn't think so, just wishful thinking. The other two plants are looking a lil more, shall i say "organic/abstract". I think I have my cab pretty much ready to go so I'm thinking flowering in about a week or so in hopes of a christmas harvest.

Currently 6. 2x23 w daylight, 2x30w 2700k, 1x40w 2700k, 1x26w daylight. I have some 26w 2700k's to throw in there, Might drop another light fixture in the center with a y-connector with some more 40w. Not sure though, temps seem to be right at a good level and more bulbs will definitely effect that. At the very least I'll buy 2 more 40w and replace the daylights when i go into flowering. Look at the first post of the thread for my lighting setup.

Glad to see some people are starting to follow my new thread. Things are getting exciting, the cab is pretty stealthy looking. As long as you don't go into the corner where the exhaust points to it just looks like a normal cabinet with a large (and surprisingly loud... *cough* its my outtake *cough*) oscillating fan in front of it. As long as the lights are inside of the room the cab is sitting in during the light cycle you will notice zero light leaks.Looking good, looking good! I'll be following

Ya I mapped out the flowering time and it seems like I'd be rushing it. At the very least I'll clip a lil christmas bud off prematurely just to test it out ^_^. Ideally I'd like to fill the pots with green before going into flowering. That's about 3-4" of vertical growth with A LOT of horizontal growth (my fim'ed/topped plant has about a 6" horizontal stem with tops coming off it in all sorts of directions... working on training the plants all the way around their pots). This still leaves about a foot or so of room to grow in flowering.that sounds righteous

Agreed. I'm still learning and I'd like to upgrade for the next time around so I might as well get he most out of the 200+ i've already spent.

definitely. I use my spare bulbs in my room so im saving about 150w there over the incandescent bulbs that were in there.

thats smart i do the same thing and turn lights off when not in use to offset grow cost
and after a couple grows change out bulbs from grow to use around house as ones on alot diminish after 3 grows

for sure, it basically drops the power usage by 2/3 when you switch from incandescent to cfls

woke up this morning and the cab was up to 90 where the thermometer was. Think I need another small fan in there for air circulation and it will be fixed though. It was directly below the left lights so there wasnt much air moving around...
