Hey, ya know, they might. Give it a try. I have a Blue Treacle auto fem half-assed going myself. It seems to do much better when i have it in sunlight. When i put it undef the cfls', it slows down. Maybe yours will do good.
Thanks for tht! Appreciated but I'm forced to do this indoors and i was gonna ask you does the distance matter i was gonna mess around and see if it grows up in height becuz it's rly short but has some good arms and showing its shots hairs ? Wht did u do any pics ? If not cool but culd use some guidence brotha! -PuffinPiff90z

Just keep your lights 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 inches away, raising them as needed.
Get the lights about 2-4 inches from them. Very bright lights get plants growing faster and when you have to move the lights up every few days you are on track. The plant looks good, keep doing what you are doing.
From the looks if your set up, you should keep lights how they are BUT set your pot onto something that will raise it up to the light and then lower your pot as needed. Easier than resetting up your light rig. But its looking good. That tin foil covering the pot for reflection really isnt all that neccessary. You can keep it there, but you dont have to.
Yup, it's looking good. As was suggested, you should raise the plant up on something so it is closer to the lights, if you can not move your lights. You might also want to consider more lights for later in the grow, especially flowering.
A long time ago when I very first started this was my lighting idea. The extension cord would work for you I believe just make certain in its securely hunger don't want it dropping on plants. http://forum.grasscity.com/index.php?/topic/1234402-Budget-DWC-CFL
Pic new light to the left hanging im goin to jus rotate pot everyday to get all the plant some of tht light . What yall think?
Its better but can still be closer!!! For real. It looks like its sitting on a box of some sort? Do you have another? If so, double it up and it will be good and close. It will give it the most out of the lights, keep the plant short and robust, give you more room to lower the plant from the light as it stretches. When you need to lower it, remove a box and replace it with something thinner, dvd/cd case?, and go on like that. Plant DOES look good. With your limited grow area, which theres absolutely nothing wrong with that, you could bush it out and train it and make a small scrog on it, whole bunch of stuff!!! Have fun man!!! Edit: oops, keep forgetting its an auto!!! Might not want to train it too hard from most reading. Im doing my first auto now and not too impressed with it.
Basically just bending branches and limbs and tying them down to help make an even canopy for light saturation to the lower bud sights so they can grow bigger and reach for the light.
Its weird. Page one and page two of your post look the same to me. Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Grasscity Forum mobile app
