So this is my first grow and blog. Started with about 16 bagseeds, germinated using papertowel method and potted the strongest 6. I have a 400w hps but they are growing fine under the bathroom cfl for now. They are in miracle gro on 24/7 light.

This is them on day 5.

You either need to switch to HPS or get MORE CFL's. The problem isn't the type of light, it's the amount.

If you're going to use those CFL's, get them super close to the plant. But I agree, the 400w HPS will kick those CFL's butts all day long! The more light the better as long as they're running 18 hours or longer. The only way they would hermie is if they stress a lot during flower. You still have a month before you can even determine sex, so get there first

Nice job frojack88 ! im going to subscribe, as there are only a few days between my grow and yours I hope you don't have any males

I agree that if you use 2 kind of lights in the same day, you will stress them.

Looks great!
