roots look great on the babies!

looks like you waited a little too long to start your scrog. the plant needs to
be flatter on top when you start a scrog later in a grow for best results IME.

i had to pick "do you even grow, bro" for the poll. you start a silly poll with
four negative answers, expect someone to fuck with ya lol.

The Veg room. The two small ones on the left are Aurora OG from seed, and the one in the rear right pot is Blue Dream from seed, and the one front right is Cheesey Smurf from seed. In the other photos you can see I have one blue dream clone in the red cup and one from seed in the other red cup. Cheers!

I would lower your CFL's significantly they should be about 1-2 inches from touching your plant.

@Yodaweed should all my 4 cfl bulbs be 6500k or should I have one 2700k bulb included?

For veg all 6500k is fine but if you want to throw in a 5k or 2700k it could help I use all 6500k in my veg room. 2700k will give more stretch.

Lower those CFL's ! lol let me show you what mine look like so you can reference, CFL light dissipates linearly meaning for every 1 inch further away the intensity exponentially decreases. Just watered that plant so she's a little droopy. Happy growing !

@Yodaweed Did I succeed? I got the lights closer but maybe not close enough.

The closer the better but that should be better than they were.

I have 5 lights but its hard to get them orientated perfectly next to each of the 4 main babies. I need suggestions...do you think I should use higher watt bulbs and I may not have to keep them as close? they are 15w 6500k bulbs.

here are some low wattage passive cooled cree cobs for ~$0.50 per watt.
you should be able to use these for veg no problem. keep 'em about a foot
away, and one light per square foot. the 12 watt e27, unless you have odd
light sockets already.
