My current setup is: 2- 2ft daylight T-12s paired with 2 23W CFLs. currently running an 18\6 light schedule and planted with MG potting mix. I'm not using any nutes other then whats already in the soil(feeds up to 6 months). I water when the soil on top just starts to look a bit crusty (once or twice a week) and mist the plant it self daily with carbonated water. It's a ghetto\stealth grow on a low budget. My only goal is short bushy plants that yeild enough for my self.
Well, they actually look pretty good. The new growth looks normal. What's the temp and R/H? Do you PH your water? I wouldn't use carbonated water to mist them just R/O water.
