Thanks bro. Bummer about the seedling. There will be others I'm sure so don't get too desperate. :joint:

I thought I'd be able to edit those first 3 posts with updated pics so you guys wouldn't have to search for the progress, but it would seem RIU isn't going to let that happen. :?

They're 2 weeks old here and I guess they aren't stretching because the light is never really over them. The last clone didn't get planted to the same level as the others so I'm having to compromise with that. I'd put something under the other 2 but I'm rockin' a heating pad cuz it's getting a little too cold. That and the space heaters I am using pretty much suck out all of the humidity so these girls got it rough.

The pictures appear dark because of the way the camera adjusts to the angle of light, but it isn't nearly that dark in the real world. ;-) They are doing very well.

Good luck with the new crop Faux! I hope all goes well and you harvest some spectacular juicy buds :-D One suggestion if I may... get rid of the aluminum foil. It tends to create hot-spots leading to heat stress and burning. Also, moisture can actually leach the aluminum possibly contaminating your soil. You'd be better off using Mylar or Panda Film, as the reflectivity of foil is not all that good. If you insist on using it, you should flip it over so that the dull side is exposed. The dull side is actually better at evenly dispersing the reflected light, reducing the possibility of hot spots. Once again, I wish you the best of luck!
I don't think it's gonna matter with 1 23w CFL, roll with it...

Any new growth on the clones faux? If they are growing slow maybe you could try using a 42 watt bulb and you could still maybe get the gram per watt you are looking for if things go great. Post some pics the next time you get a chance man

Faux is doing this with specific schedule and methods. All of the tips on what to do and what to add are wasted. Just sit back, watch, listen, learn. I dont think the suggestions are nessesary ;);) (incase you were wondering why there were no answers) Keep it up faux. cant wait to see how they turn out.
