i havent posted any pics yet, kinda scared too actually...lol
i have a SMALL stealth grow cabinet keeps between 65-80 degrees, i actually planted them outside,(bag seed) got scared someone would notice, pulled them @ 1 month veg outside ( a small 17") and transplanted into the cabinet. one is almost one solid hairy bud now and the other is a MUTANT! i have NEVER seen one like this, it has LOTS of branches with only 1 or 3 leafs as fan leafs, and has tons of flowers growing everywhere. only used miracle grow for a little (crap)
I keep the cfls 1 inch away from the plants. 12/12 now for 3 weeks. walmart emergency blanket, thermometer,small fan and 2 26w cfl lights, was VERY SURPRISED how well i am doing so far for so cheap.
what other odor remover do you guys use? my garage smells like a dead skunk. will a box of baking soda help kill the odor in my small cabinet?

I currently have 8 23w cfls for 7 plants, I plan on getting rid of males. My set up looks a lot like yours. you should be fine. when you flower, you should place the new lights around the plants instead of on top of the plants. get light to the lower buds. keep it up. I'll try and get pics of my set up on here soon.

why dont you get a 250 hps or a 150??much cheaper than buying 12 bulbs and less power being used,more penetration,more lumens far better choice than having airy buds

one is like one solid cola now with tons of hairs, and the mutant has like 30 small ones (little smaller than a dime) everywhere on it

That's insane... 2 Bulbs for 2 Plants?... WOW.. lol, if you get even a half oz... ill be convinced
goodluck man, sounds like you're doing a good job of it.
I've got 2 - 27watts + 3 - 13watts on one plant.

how are you gonna get that much with 2 23 watt cfls????if it could be done off of that and 2 plants my name is albert einstein....my name is far from that...im not hating on cfls.. but it just wont yeild as much as 150 watts of hps if you use 150 watts of cfl and the hps would be cheaper
