Yeah, thanks for your help on the pics and suggestions about the stems. It's always 70 to 80 in the CFL box, unless the lights are off which they really haven't been. They've been 24/7, except for a few days this past week, which allowed the internodal to grow too fast, so I switched it back...

Here's some more pics of the worst clones with the dark purple-red stems: If I take them out of the CFL box and put them back under the tube fluoro, they will grow green stems like the one here in the middle node shoot.

Yeah, I was thinking that it is the brand of CFL possibly, because I don't remember having any problems with CFLs turning stems red-purple about 3 or 4 years ago. Although, no, all of the CFLs I have are doing it now, like I tried all the different ones over the past year. It was just now that I...

How do you take such detailed pics, besides better camera? Should I use flash with lights out? And how did you post full size pic?

Nice pic. Thanks for the reply. PC locked up when I went to connect phone, but here's a a couple of pics of 2 different clones. Oh, wow, forgot password to imgur too. Can you upload direct from pc? Ok, fixed, finally. Not the best pics, but you can see the red/purple and the other one that's all...

Hi, so I've finally got to the point where I have 6 clones and a mother plant. I am using the same soil and nutes for all. When I put the clones under CFL 23W or 26W, blue or red, the stems turn red/purple When I put the clones under 20W cool white long tube, 30" or whatver it is, there are no...

Thanks. Yeah, the room mine is in is too warm, about 80', so that is not providing any cool air intake. I just leave the window open usually, but I have another AC I could install in that room with a little work. It's one of those slide sideways windows which I'd have to completely remove and...

So my living room AC was flooding water into the metal shelf it sits on outside, so I drilled some holes in the shelf so that it could drain into a bucket so it wouldn't run all over the deck. The bucket didn't fill that much yesterday, but this morning it was full. Is this water distilled...

Same problem in a pc stealth case. I tried a plastic bottle of frozen water. I then swap that out with one of those small blue cooler frozen things and another frozen bottle of water. I place it right in front of the intake fan inside the case. I didn't see much improvement with that, so I...

Nice setups, and I thought your choice of names are pretty funny. cheesy or not. lol I'm also on first, actually 2nd, small box grow as well. I'm having temperature issues possibly. What's the temp in your box? Same everywhere or varies high, low, or close to lights? Mine is over 90 close...

ahh, better fans and better circulation will make the temperature more even everywhere prolly.

Right now? Practically nothing, b/c I'm sort of new here and don't have good connects. But I'd be happy with a joint every other day. Depends on how good it is. Back in the day, I smoked all the time. I did meet a new connect recently which is where I got the one seed to start this. So...

yeah, this is a smart suggestion. there is a smoke detector in the room near the door, but one right next to or in the case would be the safest way to go. I'm monitoring it all the time right now anyway to see what the temp is doing...and to see how soon til I can harvest..lol. Actually...

Yeah, the top is metal on the inside with a plastic casing on top of that. I put the car shade on the top and all sides, but not the bottom b/c I'm worried about light reflective on bottom of leaves which I'm not sure is bad or not. I will check the top of case above lights to make sure it...

I plan to use 2 or more pc cases, one for veg and one for flower. But yeah, a larger grow would be nice, but more work, and this is just for my personal use which is rather small compared to when I was young and lived in Amsterdam lol.

I'm guessing hot spots are...spots that are hot?? lol

Yeah, paint is prolly better. The shade also acts like insulation making the inside hotter than paint would prolly. What are hot spots btw?

Maybe I just need stronger fans tho. Forgot that people have recommended stronger ones.

Meh, I just cut out a spot near the lights. I never tested whether a cfl or incandescent would burn the Car Shade if placed directly on it for a long time. But my main problem is temperature. With 3 26W CFLs and with 2 pc fans for intake (front-bottom) and exhaust (rear-top), the temp is...

Ok, I tried to light it with a Bic lighter. It did light on fire. No explosions tho, just flamed, threw it in sink and it went out right away. I will try to leave a piece on top of a CFL and also an incandescent and see what happens.
