slow growing autos caused by cfl?

The title says it all. Using 2x 250w cfl for easyryder ones dual spec others veg only both 8u . Now the easyryder has bent away from dual spec and kinda stopped alltogether. My others an afgan kush ryder only 4 days but hasn't moved in 2 days? My soil seemed waterlogged yest ....could that stump growth? Can post pics if anyone tries helping. Just put to bed so want to have help for their morning (: ty gc

When you say 2 - 250W CFLs, what are the lumens rating for those CFLs?

Could be a combo of the two but most likely the soil be waterlogged is the reason. Like Marsdude said what are your CFLs rated for? Are they using 250W or are they 250W "equivalent" light bulbs?

Hi guys my bulbs are the 8u BIG type.

This is easy ryder. She self lst'd so looks smaller. Still aint shown at day 22 but I think 30days is usually time enough to show her hairs.
Thanks for helping. I think id like to know distance from lights if you can tell off pics (:

Hiya well the boxes dont say anything about lumens. They're not household cfls they're the horticulture ones with e40 connection types and fit into a normal reflector hood. I've positioned the bulbs about 8" away ans its stopped listing away from lights at least. Think I had too much veg light in and the light patterns weren't mixed enough I guess! Leading to lst lol. Saved me a job, she grew horizontal for a day+ at least 3" horizontal growth. Anyway she's growing upwards now.

Hi yes waterlogged was half problem I think, thanks.
I let her dry out and then gave her pure (tap) unferted water and she literally lifted up as I watered her. My afgan kush ryders looking ok her 2nd leaves are coming out after I fed with formulex spray.

Hi no I haven't mate but all autos are unstable! I've seen way crazy growth patterns in autos that I dont see in normal photo period plants. Any info?

Im having problems I think not sure with afghan ryder check out my post let me know wit u think

But on the other hand all my others are loving the cfls I have 7 23 watt 100 watt equiv for 12 plants they all seem to be loving life

Hi well apart from flies (little twots) its all good. My lighting prob seems to be over. I think now it was the peat pots I used lol, I think she got root bound inside there and until I treated with a fly larve watering and peat pot was less tough. Below is her durin dark just before 1st flower feed, she showed yesterday she's an easyryder. I also have 2x afgan kush ryders in tent all doing swell and under 20 hrs (mostly) red spec (125w veg inc also) CFLs

And as for the growth under cfl, idk if I'm THAT impressed guys. It seems "scraggly" BUT she aint had ANY food! Just h20 and her soil which is "canna terra" professional plus. I added "canna" rhiztonic at wk 2 and that's it. The only thing I can equate the change from stagnant to growing was 1x feed with nilnat or "tanlin" as its now called, due to little flies bombing about my tent. I dosed with tanlin and the next day my girl got jiggy and grew free. I guess it was an infestation problem I had. I recommended "tanlin" (nil-nat backwards) for maggot infestations (:

Can anyone help me with my seedlings? no one seems to even have an opinion on them http://forum.grassci...ation-help.html

I d k sry.

Ok guys if you can id love some people to follow my grow as of today. I've just finished stealthy cladding my shed with pvc, I use a dr120 tent and have 3 autos : 1 Easyryder and 2 afgan kush ryder all in soil under a mix of 8u cfl (red and mixed spectrums) and a 600w hps super bulb. I say a mix because I will have switched to the hps by the time I post a pic probably tomorrow!
Up until today I've been truly indoors and although I will still be under a roof! Indoors it aint lol.
I just got a "beast shed" from a national company and as I said today my son and I clad the interior with insulation and pvc.
I am a noob, the thread I'm in now is wrong for a grow I know but I'm on mobile handset and well the apps crazy tricky to negotiate, I hope I can get help. I have loads of daft questions needing cool heads to answer them so I came to GC!
I cant use smilies etc (sorry) so it'll be kinda vanilla but I love taking pics and hope to post a lot, I hope you all feel free to sub and together we can have a giggle and grow som Pang.
My Easyryders 4 and a half weeks JUST shown sex...lady....phew, my afgan kush Ryders are a week apart the eldest 2 (but diddy). Pics next post.
Hope you all are good happy Sunday from UK.
Pls can this get moved if its in wrong place mr/s mods (:?

The place you want to be is in the grow journal sub forum. You only come here for problems like diseases, pests, defeciencies and such. Think of this place as the infirmary but if you start a grow journal in the grow journal forum I'll follow it and help you.
