More pics below. The pics of the individual plant are of one of the Perpetrators that I topped. All of the green stemmed branches on it are new growth that sprouted from the sides once I topped them.

the enclsoure is a growlab 80. i picked it up from my local plant store. i'll try to get closeups of some of the plants when i post again.

i'm giving these ufos a go because they have been proven in the past by growers such as yourself. these are the wave of the future and i think my grow will add proof to that fact. there are many benefits to using these lights which have been discussed many many times. i'm not saying that these...

Thanks Gypsy for the advice! I'll not worry about the nutrients once the clippings show good roots and are transplanted. :)

I appreciate your concern. I have a CFL lamp on the way for additional lighting. The older plants are not WEAK. I had the lights further away and they were stretching to reach it. Now that I have the lights lower they are getting bushier. If you don't have any positive comments or constructive...

The clippings showed roots in about 8-9 days. Initially I had them in a bubbler and they were overwatered, but now I just have the clippings in rockwool cubes sitting on top of the hydroton in 3 pots with smaller plants. I wait for them to be almost completely dry before I water them. I'm...

Ya, I'm letting the clippings dry out almost completely before I water them. Which means I water them every other day. I'm using a diluted nute mix from the primary reservoir. I was using plain water and the leaves started to turn yellow. As of today all 3 of the clippings have roots poking out...

Ya, I'll upload pics of where the lights are now. They are about 5-6 inches from the tallest plants. I've got them watering 3 times a day when the lights are on: 6 am, 12 pm, and 6 pm. You aren't supposed to water when the lights are out right? The rockwool cubes that the clones are in hold a...

Ya I've had the lights almost 2 feet from the plant, but I know now that was too far. The branches are thickening nicely since I moved the lights closer.

I plan on lollipoping all the plants to take the light penetration into account. I lowered the lights another 3-4" and now the tallest ones are less than a foot away. We'll see how the plants react.

Gypsy, I may consider chopping the plants down to go back to SOG and have clippings, but I want to let them get a bit larger before doing that. If I cut them down, I want to have the topped plants around 10-12" tall and have good clippings with a high probability of surviving. I have a bubbler...

I guess I should change the title from SOG to just closet grow. I'm thinking that I'll end up buying more CFL's so I can support bigger plants. I know that I probably should've already started flowering if I wanted a true SOG setup, but I'm thinking I'll end up expanding this to a space about...

I had some root rot with a few of the plants, but now that I added aquashield, it seems to be preventiing and correcting any browning roots. My plans are changing since I've moving in 5 weeks so I'm going to continue to veg them until I move. Once I get situated at the new place, I'll have much...

They are doing a good job for my plants. I've heard that they beat a 400 hps, but this is my first grow so i can't speak from experience. Here's some more pics.

Some new pics. I think the lights can go a small amount closer maybe 2-3 inches lower then they are. I highly recommend aquashield liquid compost for someone using a flood and drain system. The reservoir is staying much cleaner since I added it. I'm also considering using canazym for added...

I switched to round airstones and the reservoir is staying much cooler now. The stupid person at the plant store sold me some crappy square airstones and they vibrated like hell in the reservoir. The nutes are at 620 ppm. I've got a 2 bulb 2' CFL fixture on the way for supplemental lighting. I...

The closet space the tent is in is 3'x3'x9'. I think the LEDs are doing well, but I'm thinking about adding a CFL tube for white light. I think a 400W hps would be WAY too hot in my closet, but it may be preferred for most. I am using LEDs because I'm interested in the technology and the reduced...

Ya the roots on most of the plants are already poking out of the bottom of the pots. I'll try to add root pics next time I upload. I'm using canna rhizotonic to help strenthen the root system and it's definitely working. I'm also using super thrive. I'm using both of these at about half...

BTW, I'm planning a reservoir flush tomorrow. I'll also begin adding aquashield to inhibit root rot and other diseases. From the get go, I was overwatering them and didn't realize it. I think I have the system prettymuch dialed in for nutrients and the 18/6 light cycle. I will experiment with...
