Well another 2" so she's not slowing as much as I hoped,if this keeps up I'll have to super crop her or I'll run out of cabinet height. Lights are set to 13/11 and 4 hours of UV in the middle of the cycle.
Flowering with Cree bulbs

My first run with critical kush and most everything I read from other grows said "not a lot of stretch", I must have a heavy sativa pheno. I've got 5 clones going from this and one is already mainlined to 4, I might give the 4 little ones away and pop a new seed to see if I can get another pheno.

Jeez! Yes that might be your best bet ,because I bought them based on the description as well....I have a lot of height room either way but hoping for at least a 50/50 when I pop them!

Found a description of the 3 pheno types for critical kush on seedfinder and I feel it's safe to say I have #3.
1.: short, compact, fastly blossoming, indica-dominant Phenotype #2
2.: long, compact, fastly blossoming, indica-dominant Phenotype #1
3.: long, stretched, fastly blossoming, sativa-dominant Phenotype #3
After 12 days she has stretched 25 inches,she looks great but I'm running out of room.

13 days and 28 inches,that's right 3 inches in the last day. Looks like I'll be moving her out of the cabinet by Monday at this rate.
Did some super cropping, hope it slows her down.

Bought one these the other night, got the 20 watt and was able to order it with all 660 nm. Was only $36.60 shipped and the seller has a 99.5 rating so it was worth a shot.

Despite my super cropping she grew another 2 inches yesterday, so I super cropped her again. She's grow 30 inches in 14 days and is looking very healthy. I also upped her lights to 13.5/10.5.

Holy that is a great setup using Cree and a UFO, I'm going to do the same to replace some hot 50w 5000k cfl's in my box for flower time

I had to replace my Cree WW as the globe actually blew out a 1/8" hole, then cracked quite a bit. Since I have ample WW globes, I replaced with a NW.
FYI, Cree now has an end-cap (end of isle) display with all versions lit up. The spot was tempting, but I'm expecting to have a couple 2 x 2 @ 60w/panels here by the time I flower
cap I know your results were amazing, but I think 2400-2700K MIGHT bring something extra to the party. There is one company that makes them, but they sell through distributors who don't seem to stock them. Sorry, I can't think of the name, but they had a full page inside cover ad in last month's LED Magazine (available on line)

If you buy the 4 pack's of the BR30's online you get them for $17.50 each, wanted a area 51 but had to buy a air conditioner but I'm sure these BR30's will do a good job. I think adding the 20 watts of LED 660 nm to the cree's should give me that extra bang.

I have used 660 in HOT5 tubes and with my ufo 90. I have yet to see any benefit. IMHO, the money spectrum is 630-650
