3 of the pics are from 7 days old and the others are from today, how much more light should I get? I have 3 45 watt CFL's and 2 Power-glo 30" Bulbs. I was thinking of getting a light socket splitter and running 8 CFL's but would'nt that be way too hot in an aquarium? Thnx Man

New pics look fine. I notice at least one of the plants hadn't developed 5 fingered leaves in the earlier pics. Give that one a bit more light if it's still that way. In good light they should go 1, 3, 5 and then 7 without a problem.

Can't can tell you when to flower without knowing how high you can grow upwards. Strain info would help too.

The strain is called Mighty Might, and ya they grew 2 sets of three but now they all have 5 any 3 are starting there 7, I think I'll have about 4.5-5 feet in height for my space. I just kkep reading things about going by nodes and each of mine has 6 and most said to start flowering at 4. I probably only want them 2-2.5 feet tall

I'm excited to see how those flower, they look super healthy, have you tried any low stress training? or topping/fimming? Definitely would be worth it to check that out before flowering to get some more yield plus some light on the lower branches. Keep it up!

That strain looks like unusual genetics - New world strain, Indica/ruderalis. The indica element should help to keep things short but I've no idea what the ruderalis will bring to the party.
If you can go up to 4 foot then anything up to 1 foot in veg should be ok but I have no experience of those genetics so I can't be certain.

What do you mean unusual genetics, whats wrong with my plants.I really thought they were going alright. I was told this weed is pretty easy to grow and that I'd get a decent yield. And how can you see the ruderalis in it.

Sorry fella
Didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with your plants. I looked it up when you mentioned the strain but I refuse to use google so maybe I got different links to you. This is what came up for me:

http://cannabismjseeds.com/mighty-mite-cannabis-seeds.html

Ruderalis is used in all the auto strains but other than that I've never seen it in any genetic description of the seeds I've had.

Well I'm hoping everything turns out. I know its 90 % indica and its says it has a nice piney smell and wild potency.
