Ok i have about 7 plants growing. the 3 biggest ones are on they're 16th day of the Veg. Stage. The second 2 biggest ones are in they're 13 day. and the last 2 are one they're 6th day. They look nice and health to me for 2 weeks old. I am using two 23w Sprial CFL's and one 15watt CFL Flouro tube.....Does you guys think i should add the 250w HPS light to it now to make it better in they're Veg. Stage or should i just wait until the flowering cycle to put the 250w HPS light in??also one of the plants stem broke into half so idk if it gonna grow back.

very difficult to see in those pix. but, i say if you have the hps, add it; your plants look awfully stretched, and would welcome the additional lumens.

they need more light you need blue spectrum try to pick up an MH or lower them lights to 3-4 inches at most.

I dont know if anyone had ever had the time or ever made a video on their grow instead of taking a bunch of pics. But I took some time and made a movie instead of taking 2 billion pics. Hope you guys enjoy it, I've edited it nicely added music and the quality isn't to bad. Ok i added the 250watt HPS to the setup so now there is two 23watt Spiral CFL's, one 15watt Flouro Tube, and one 250wat HPS system.....Also Is it bad or ok for you plants to be constantly moving back and forth slightly when the fan is blowing?? Tell what you guys think about the setup, video and the plants and stuff. Thanks you guys :)

I Added another 23watt Spiral CFL today and the growth of the plants are growing tremedously.

Also I Germinated 6 seeds a couple days ago....all 6 seeds germinated:)....i put 2 outside and 4 inside. The 4 inside in my growing room all sprouted and are about 2-3 inches tall. And all of the plants have been on the 16/8 cycle since day 1.

nice vid, I like the songs too
Weezy F Baby = Best rapper alive.

but yea the plants looked really stretched and very small for 18 days, I'd probably use the just CFL's for the first weeks of Veg and then add the HPS a lil later.

Get the fluoro's as close to the plants as you can without burning them and you might need a larger oscillating fan set on low for a little stronger breeze...

that could be a reason why the plants were so small. CPU fans are usually used for ventilation, if you were using the CPU fans to suck in new air and exhaust old air they would be fine, but you'll need something a lil stronger to develop thicker stems and help the plants growth, so you'd probably wanna get a new fan or add more CPU fans.
