My plants are 2 1/1 weeks old and i was using a halogen light..i got rid of that thing becuase i heard it can hut the plant/burn down my house..Now i recently put in CFL lights and there on a 24/0 light cycle..before the change i had them on a 16/8 cycle and they grew 2 inches a day..its been almost 4 days now and they havent grown a bit..So do you think the lack of the nightcycle is stunting there growth

it might just be a reaction to the reduction of lumens they will prolly adjust and start growing again

make sure your light is a couple inches above your plant, and yeah ganjaman speaks truth. Also, make sure that your plant isnt root bound. It needs plenty of room in the pot if you want it to keep growing.

I think LEDs are worth looking into...some people are not convinced
but I am running them exclusively for vegging and supp them with hps in my flower room and my buds are looking gr8.....they are very safe and cheap to run...also you can grow costantly for 5/7years (depending on the qaulity of the bulbs) with the same bulbs until they start to lose their effectiveness ... just a thought :roll: :smile:
