First of All Thanks for replying , Running about 75 -80 degrees Now that I put in the 2 84w 2700k Cfls They are Amazingly Bright But a tad bit hotter than the two 23w 6500k I had in there @ 70 degrees for vegging a day or two ago. the T12's are like almost cold to the touch at all times (amazing) and the T5's are a bit of the same justa bit warm. but now yes the 84watters are going to produce much more heat Very Valid Point I will keep an eye on Temp With those new bulbs I just put in for Flowering.Thank you :] Do the above current temps seem reasonable?

Here are some pictures of them and the setup To help With your Questions.

Picture 1 you can see all the lighting the 2 84 w(hanging) and the two T5 tubes(on sides of t12) and the 2 t12 tubes(inside 2 tubes). the T models make a wall of light in the back with the two big flowering CFL's on top. Also I have rechecked the Kelvin on the tubes and they are 6500k and 5700k I believe (if I looked hem up right) I apologize for earlier indications of 4100 and 5100.

So any feed back at this time now that you can see what's going on is appreciated. :]

your temps are perfect. under 85 at all times is ideal. you have plenty of light... especially if one of your plants ends up being male. hopefully at least one is female though! youll know in a few weeks!

ya 75-80degrees is perfect...nice job
 
Yes, you seem to be doing quit well. How come your plants are so short? Did you supercrop? The leaves look very green and healthy, keep it up.:)
 
Since I'm new to this I thought that these type of plants grew to at least 2' tall unless you cut them or bend them over so they don't get very tall. Did you do something to keep them smaller? Or does this strain seem to be a smaller one? My plants are from 3 differnt bags I bought that were from really good weed. So I have no idea how big they will get. One of them has dark fat leaves, and the other one had light green with narrow long leaves. I've also got three plants in my yard that I'm experimenting with. They are growing narrow and tall under the natural sun, buy under cfl's they are shorter and thicker. Good luck with your grow, I hope mine continues to go good.

Thank's very much everyone for the feedback:]!

Norma: Of course there is time to stop by ... Do you have any idea how many hours Ive been in forums in the past 3 months hehe few more moments for you -ez-pz-. I take time to stop by after this post haha:]

Tranquility:Ty for the temperature advice Will be sitting anywhere from 70 - 80 with that ionic breeze in there and it's nice to know thats safe:}

Holmgrown: No I did not super crop or LST or fim(Although I may LST the larger plant slightly)I am Very Surprised at how short and full these plants are ( Note: I Reburied These plants Up to the cotyledons(sp?)-or-"first set of false leaves" and now have root growth to the top of the soil places roots never would have been coming out of if I hadnt of reburied) Through veg they only grew maybe roughly 8-9 inches and 9-10 inches tall when they reached 8th node. These plants could still get some kind of burst of growth for flowering (most plants do) But I dont think they will reach to anywhere over 2 1/2 feet or so fully mature. They look like the type of strain to grow to eventually be just a tight plant not very loose. CFL's may have alot to do with it .Its so bright in there hehe.

NEWS UPDATE: I thinks me see a pistillate primordia (calyx) or two forming between the stipules and the shoots of new growth on the 7th and 8th nodes they certainly DO NOT look like a ball sac. hehe.Crosses fingers :}!

Here are some photos of week 3 flowering On the one remaining Female plant . One was male. The other Plant is 100% fem and showing plenty of crystal development at a young age I hope she's a real trichome covered lady :] Can any one tell me if the bud development is Seeming to be ok for a decent harvest?There are 15 - 16 main branches (4 are tiny ?clones?)and the main cola. How's she looking any questions ... tips? I was interested in cloning her is it too late ? Id like to keep the strain alive so to speak :] It has alot of the characteristics I think I like alot. indica dominate Nice crystal production and short inter nodes. sort of slow on the growth pace but thats ok if she produces killers smoke
