The price difference between the 23W and the 41W is pretty big, so I instead went with a larger number of CFL's for more coverage and from my experience, if you do the numbers, there are more lumens per watt as you go down in wattage on CFL's. 23W seemed to work out best for me!looking very nice.
Question. Why didn't you go with 41w, 2700k, 2900 lume CFLs insted of the other ones?

Well I was worried at first that the plants were not growing well, they have since started growing very well! They all look quite healthy and I'm hoping to see if sex shows in the next week or two! Pics attached...

So I took a closer look at all the plants today and I have 3 females and 2 males out of the 7 planted seeds. I didn't take a really really close look at the plants, which I probably should soon ( just under some bad light with bad eyes), but 3 seemed to be obvious females and 2 had multiple balls growing on the top so I'm guessing those are males!!! I'm happy with the ration so far!! Here are some pics, again sorry for the bad quality all I have right now to take pics is my phone:

I can't be happier with my Norther Light... As far as odor not much at all... You can only really smell it when you take a close whiff... Excellent strain for 12/12 in my opinion!!!!

So... All 7 plants have shown sex and the results are:
4 females and 3 males... Not the ideal 5 females and 2 males I was hoping for but hey I'm super happy with the results! I separated the males, keeping 2 and killing 1 =( so I can produce some seed with this grow. I also wanted to try LST'ing so I did it on the tallest plant I have to see how that works out in a 12/12 from seed environment. Anyway here are some pics....

I moved the 2 males to a different area they won't be able to pollinate any of the ladies.... I didn't know the sex of the plants till about day 23 but thats because I wasn't looking very hard so I'll guess at around day 20 they showed signs of sex!

More than 50% female sucks? Geez I thought it was OK.. LoL I'm picking the 2 males that grew faster and showed sex faster, just from reading around it seems that's the quality I want right?

So I looked at my plants this morning and the yellowing of some of the fan leaves is getting worse!! WTF I know it probably isn't nute burn I haven't fed the plants anything except half a dose of fish emulsion which is hardly anything and that was only for two weeks (used straight water this past week due to some yellowing and I was afraid it was due to the emulsion, but I doubted it), and I started with organic soil with plenty of worm castings... I'm thinking its a nute defficiency. I'm going to start giving them some food tomorrow morning. SCHULTZ Plus Plant food -> 10-15-10. I hope they respond well to the 1/2 dose I plant to give for the first week. I really hope its just a little difficiency! Can anyone tell me how fast plants resopnd to a feeding when they are deficient in nutes?
