Hi everbody thanks for viewing this and any responses are greatly appreciated. This is my setup currently in using cfls I have 2 60 watt and one 100 watt I am using mg soil (it seems there is a debate on whether this soil is good or not my friend used it with great results so that was sufficient enough for me) I just went and bought vigoro fert. With a 24 8 16 npk ratio. Won't let me upload any pics but its def not as green as my other plant. this plant the strain is a super silver haze from a fem seed, I also have a lemon kush growing besides it that is a little bit smaller but its super green vs this one. And also those little green things coming from the nodes are those calyxs? Please help any info of a way to make my setup better or any tips will help once again thanks

Some plants are just genetically lighter/darker in color. If the growth seems vigorous and healthy, then you should be alright. Don't over feed thinking there's a problem when there really isn't.

Also MG soil is fine. Just keep in mind that it's already full of nutrients. You can probably go a couple months without feeding additional ferts. My only problem when I used to use MG soil was occasional bugs in the soil (mites and fungus gnats) and its a very heavy potting mix. The heaviness makes so that the roots have a hard time getting oxygen and increases your risk of overwatering. You can easily fix this next time by mixing in perlite. MG actually sells their own perlite. If I ever use MG or osmocote soil, I mix it with an equal amount of perlite.

Good luck

Yeah cfl lighting is fine. Just keep in mind that you can only yield as much as your lights allow. Are you sure they are actually 60 and 100 watters or are the "60 watt equivalent" lights?

Also there's no pic?

Btw most soil mixes do already have perlite in them. However, I still mix it 50/50 soil mix to perlite. It really increases drainage and root zone oxygen. Much less likely to overwater your girls
