They are stretching more then I had hoped. Been keeping the light only 1 to 2 inches from the tops 1 plant is touching the flouro. Currently they are under 2 48in 2700k spectrum flouro going out today to pick up some cfl's. Other then getting them out of the soda bottles (growing in these only to keep an eye on root growth) and just till sexed then tyhey will be potted into 4 1/2 gal buckets.

you should get rid of those 2liter jugs... or wrap them in something because light is very bad for roots

thats an Idea will wrap them today.. 1 comfirmed female in 4th day of 12/12 white hairs on top looking good so far.. picked up 4 - 42watt cfl's at walmart testing them on a few. How far should the cfl's be away from the plants?

not 2 to 4, it should be 1 to 2, i have mine less than 1 inch and i havent had any problems with buring, you just have to move them every other day or so and youll be fine

1 leaf burnt when it touched the light for just a few seconds these cfl's running hot? 42 watt cfl = 150 watt reg

ok update went to walmart picked up a humidity/Temp current temp 78 hum 65% lights off Used duct tape to cover up the 2 liter bottles to protect the roots from the light. Cindi is showing more pistils. Hopeing to get at least 4 or 5 females out of the 14 plants

Quick question is the humidity good at 65% or should I try and get it higher or lower? Temps holding with lights on and off around 78

thanks ..... was forced to transplant them into larger containers the 48in flouro was getting cramped under it ( 2 in 2 1/2 gal the rest into 1 1/2 gal buckets) ... put them all back into veg to get the roots going. I was hopeing to not have to do so till I knew their sex. Also moved the flouro and added 4 42 watt cfl's so they are all now under the cfl's as well as the flouro. area I'm using is 2ft wide 6ft long 6ft high...

after further investigation and watching of the plants to see how they reacted to the transplant going to keep them on the 12/12 ... Temps getting up to 82 w/lights on and 75 w/lights off humity is still hovering in the 58-60 % with lights off fans on constantly. One fan on them and 6 5 in cpu fans blowing out the window... Thank goodness for the city compost heap being 300 yds away

be thankfull for this one for sure
try to pull the rel. humidity in your grow a bit more so you get into the 50's and maybe higher 40's so mold won't start to rape your growing buds
can be achieved by temp drop or some better ventilation, see that you intake sucks cool air only. so set it low to the floor or such air from the basement or foundation into your grow.

Thanks Green.. Right now I'm working in the basment. Don't have a closet or single room till the move. The Space I have it set up in is near the furnace (still kicks on for hot water) the temp and humidity have only gone up since I started the grow.
Before I started this grow it was always 65 deg, low humidity in the 30 to 40% range...
I opened the vent window fully just before the lights shut down for the night, the ossilating fan and the cpu fans still running.
The lights off for 3 hours now the temp is down to 75 an the humidity is finally down to 57%. High Temp 82 Hum 61%. ... I have 4 plants still growing from the first try they look more like stems with a few leaves but they refuse to die. Little bastards will probably turn out to males
