  18. im in looks interesting im on my first grow and already get the concept of using cfls first because its all i could afford but seeing veg with a MH they are a bit more stretched apart i had a seedling that was 5 inch high with 8 nodes lol 
     
  19. UpAndComer, Thanks for stopping in and commenting on my grow as you can see I had some stretch on 4 of the 5 plants even under HPS. But the fifth one stayed short. cfl's work well for vegging. My buddy did a full grow with them and got around a 1/2 oz per plant in one gal pots.
     
  20. Up date: Day 28 of flowering fed plants 1 tablespoon of Bat Guano (1-10-1)  and 1 tablespoon of Grandma's  unsulphured molasses in 1 gallon of rain water per plant. all look good the indica plant
    stinks so good like a skunk the 4 sativa plant's  not much smell yet.
