sweet the 40w lights should bump it op nice. some people like to use 24 all the way to flower i personaly like the extra branch growth the 18/6 light cycle offers. roots grow more than the plant durring the light cycle and the plant grows more than the roots in the dark cycle. so with the 6 hours of sleep they will grow out more budd sites/ branches.

make sure to position some of the lighting around the plant so you can get some nice side growth. everything is looking great tho man. keep it up and dont forget to ask me anything.

HEY MY NEXT POST IS # 420!!!!! im making a "pass the bong" thread for that one! chech it out!!!

Foil is ok to use with cool white CFL's because they create little to no heat. I started off my plants with warm white CFL's and mine got a hell of heat coming from it. I was really confused because most people say they don't create much heat but in my experience warm white CFL's can cause some real heat especially if your using a 68 watt one! Remember foil = more heat

That's why you should invest in a $10 roll of mylar that will last you for 20 grows.
