First time grow and using CFLs

Thanks bro. Yeah if i could lift them and take em out, I would've flushed them as soon as I got home and saw them. Felt like too much to ask of the wife to mix up that large of a batch of ph'd water and sit there for as long as it takes to flush. As it is she watered them for me last night after having to make dinner and take care of the kids since I'm pretty useless right now. usually we help each other out but...

Sorry to hear it man, hope your injuries get better. I know what its like. Thats how I got my really bad habbit going.....Glad that is over with.

get well man
plants will be fine you have a hell of a grow

May start a new thread in the indoor growing area. I'm turning this into a peerpetual grow and will be switching to HPS to accomodate the additional plants going in the flower room. I've got a 400watt HPS in a Supernova hood coming and the walls are getting lined with Pandafilm. I'll put the existing light setup in my veg room and change that room's fixture a bit to use for a basic cloning setup I picked up yesterday. Just trying to decide right now If I want to mantain mother plants or not. I'm pretty sure I will not chop down the WW plant but will trim the buds and re-veg her so I can take some cuttings for clones. After that I'll either cut her down or maybe put her in a tube to keep as a mother plant for more clones down the road. I'm not decided on that yet and it will probably come down to space but I don't have to cross that bridge for another 4-6 weeks so we'll see.

I'm going to take some cuttings from a Green Cush plant and a Hindu Skunk plant this weekend before putting the plants in the flower room. Hopefully I can get 1 or 2 to root for the next round of girls. Really hoping that I'll end up with 2 more Green Cush plants since I like Green Cush. Hindu Skunk is no shwag though either so either way is good.

Thanks man. I appreciate the props. The leaves look like hell still from the Nute Burn but the buds are all fattening up niceley and both plants are all frosty.

I'm kinda bummed about not finishing these out with CFLs but I just don't have enough of them for 4 plants and the other ladies are waiting. They're going to a bit bigger than these two (bigger pots and longer veg time).

what's best for the plants...

& thanks for stopping by my grow sir - c ya!!!

So here's the new goodies all installed and running.

I got a 400watt HPS light with a Supernova air cooled hood. Using a 120CFM PC fan to cool the hood and lined the room with Panda Film. Put a zipper in the middle of the door to make it easier to get in and also to make it completely free of light leaks.
It's been running for almost 2 hours and temps are at 72 degrees. I'll check in the morning to see how hot it got overnight.

I started a new thread in the indoor section since I've now got a perpetual grow going and I'm not using CFL for lower anymore.

It's called Dezracers perpetual grow for those interested.
