Did some cropping, and trying to keep them low until all the tops are level. Switched over to 12/12 hps, have the light at 12" off the tops & going to let them grow to the light and pull down the faster growing ones. Temp is pretty constant, 81 - 77, humidity stays around 50%.
Last pic looks the best so far, very full level growth.. That was the first one I cropped, 2nd set of 5 blade. The rest were a week or so later. The 3rd one is still a bit scrawny, but was just topped last week.
Once I sex them I will put them in the 3 gal pots. They all look healthy to me. Dont mind any deformed leaves, was a little crazy with the scissors :-(

Heat is killing everyone it seems like. Yesterday I unplugged my 250 and replaced it with 16 cfls. temps only dropped about 5 degrees. running out of options except getting a small ac. not really in my budget though.

Looked it up just to be sure CBT, CMH does not work on digital ballast :(.. (I'm still running a remote ballast that I put together from a ballast kit.) But yeah, good things, light spectrum, lower heat, one bulb for veg and flower. It's been hot here too, but I'm in a basement and drawing air for my cool tube from a semi-cool room and keeping the heat down to *82 max.

thx grazz thats what i heard i just didnt know. yeah i try to keep the canopy at 83 or less, rest of the grow area stays around 76.about a week or 2 i will get a light mover then i can put the girls even closer.im going with a 4' rail. i want to see how short of a time i can get between harvest while staying with 250w and yeilding a decent amount each harvest.im sure every other week would be too hard to do. right now about 25-45days between harvest.maybe i need to sit down and do a little math.

The heatwave made me lose my B-52 clone. moist humidity dome, only 4 small CFLs in the hospital box, lots of air in and out but the heatwave was just too much today.
