Im growing them in my living room,temp is between 23-25 C,18/6 lights 2 23 Watt CFL,one cool white the other warm white(23w=120W) and one 75 w incandescent blue grow light,they get ventilated 5 times every day 1h at a time,nutrients:super vit from Hesi,the strain is NEBULA bought from paradise seeds

Let me know what u think,this is my first grow so im not expecting a big quantity,its more just for fun and the love 4 the ganja!

You may want to take a second opinion but i think incandescent lights are pretty much 90 percent pointless.
and while vegging with 18/6 light i think it's best to have 6500K (or 'daylight') CFLs, how ever it's still possible to veg without 65k's

How old are the plants?

they are 29 days old and 37 cm tall,and im not sure if it's incandescent..i just guessed,because its much warmer than the cfl..and on its box it was written that it is for plant growing,and by the way..how long should i wait until i put them into flowering?

they actually don't look too bad man, you said you're growing them in you living room, when you flower make sure there is complete darkness, NO alumination at all.

those blue coated "plant lights" are garbage and are incandecent you should replace it with a cfl. those plant lights are made to make plants look greener than they actually are

ok mate,thanks for letting me know..im gonna replace that 75 watter with 3 23 w CFL and still stay on the same amount of electricity..i would like to get a HPS or MH but my electricity bill goes every month around 150 eur..due to the many pc and other electrical stuff in the apartment..with the HPS or MH will shure go over 300 and i dont afford that,especially when im growing only 2 plants...

Yeah, throwing out the incandescent and replacing it with 2 or 3 more cfl 23 watters will give much better results. I would make sure you get 2700 K cfl's since you are pretty much ready to start flowering. I think 2700 K are called soft white, but i could be wrong.

And if they're 29 days old... personally i grow 12/12 from seed so i never veg but i think most people veg for 3 to 5 weeks, so it seems like you could throw them into flowering right now, personally i would, but everyone grows differently.

thanks for the advice m8,in gonna put them into flowering in 2 weeks,when i come back from holydays..and do u think another 3,4 23w CFL would do the job when flowering,that will be.. let's say 5 x 23w=115 w=600w!?

Any plant that grows has a vegitative state if you put it in 12-12 it will vegitate till it becomes mature enough to reproduce. That is the life cycle of the plant
