here's some kiwiskunk grown under CFl's. although the plant looks good and healthy, i think,..... the buds seem small and far apart. i don't know if this is due to genetics or because the CFl's aren't quite bright enough to encourage fat tight buds. maybe over the next few weeks the buds will fill out before it finishes.........

theyll fatten up for sure. but they are stretched pretty bad. how many cfls you got on it.

it sort of depends because i move them around and add and subtract due to space and such but roughly 350 - 450 watts. currently it's surrounded on the sides with 2700k lights but the main 125watt light in the reflector is 6500k. i suppose that makes a bit of difference. i agree, it seems to have stretched during flowering. i didn't expect that. i did a lot of bending and twisting around the 12/12 time to even out the canopy and i wonder if that effected things.

oh yeah, and another thing i wonder about is this strain is supposedly mostly "skunk" and 20% indica. whatever that means.

if "skunk" means "sativa" then i wonder if this plant has a tendency to get tall.

Skunk generally just means the smell, i.e. strong pot smell. There's lot's of skunk hybrids, some indica/sativa, some sativa, some indica.

From what I know, skunk plants usually produce pretty well.

If it is a sativa dominant plant, then they have a tendency to grow taller and less bushy. Hope this helps!

why don't you just get a 400w hps? If you are using 350w-450w or do you mean 450w in terms of incandescent equivalent?

i mean 350+ real watts. however, you are right, i just bought a 400 watt hid. i don't have it on the plant yet but i fired it up and it's amazing! like staring into the sun! wow!
