Oh yeah i suggested you go verticle eh? (still highly suggest it with the 70w)

Oh ok, so your testing the different intensities?

Well, you were basically saying HPS blows CFL's out of the water... and that is stating that they are crap. But some people have to use them due to space issues... go read some CFL grows they're not to shabby in the yields...

Haha yeah lol, ok i guess they dont blow them completly away. alright ill give you that. Ive seen nice bushes with cfls. I would never flower with em though (well i tried it with the 26 watters one year, all i have to say is its not worth it, 26 watters that is, go at least 42 watts)

i'm gunna make a box for the 70w useing the light unit as the top then i can test sex.flower clones u know.

Yup aesome, love the idea. But you do know clones off a female will always be female?

What you COULD do is take some clones, start flowering them half way through your first grow, so that way when your first grow is done you have some that are half way ready!!! Like kind of a perpetual harvest deal. Then just repeat it. You could have a harvest every 4 weeks or so instead of 8 weeks.

Yeah, you happen to be from the 'down under'? mate?

Yeah i came across the same problem. You need to make sure theres at least one node, that the stem is close to an 1/8 of an inch thich ant that the main stem is about 3 inches or longer.

hope that helps peace.

edit: 150w strong
