Thanx dude, everybody is always saying heat, cfls, bla bla bla, but these girls have been putting up with some "inconvenient truth," style warming and they're doing well. I wish I could get the temps ideal, but i don't think I could do anything more than I am, and since the buds are doing well, i'm not gon stress it. Thanx for the input homie.

Long as you have a few leaves for photosynthesis your good
Only real concern would be it trying to hermie witch would give you seeded greens

But if the genetics are good enough it could bare the pain

Looks right on pace though

Well right under lights it's 100, at canopy level it's 93, and below canopy it's like 85, I am having burned leaves, but I can't avoid it cause all of the bulbs are at different levels, as are the buds. I should have SCROG'd during veg, but didn't like a idiot. :wall: But the buds are growing and getting juicy looking, the leaves are getting all trich'd out, so I can't complain. The only thing's I messed up on in this grow (in my opinion) is the soil I got, and the fact that I went with many smaller watt bulbs instead of one monster cfl, the differing levels of cfls are really fucking my foliage up, but i'm to far in (and to broke) to do something about it lol.

Learnin is half the battle man
Scrog would have been the most ideal for sure
I would started weaving threw the screen at 6 -8 inches that way when
They strecth during flowering its still realitivly shorter
And the temps are lower at the bottom

I saw a mazar grow where a guy put all his cfls on top of a piece of glass
With computers fans pullin and exhausting out
It would isolate the heat and make it easier to manage at least for the next go around

As far as soil goes an easy recipe is half foxfarm quater perlite and quater worm castings
I'm kickin my self for usin mg instead of that mix this time real bummer
But I use technaflora recipe for succes which gives me a nice nutrient balance

I'm two days into flowering everythings super green compared to a week or two ago strecth is goin as planned to gonna do a pic update tonight

Yea next time i'm using FF's for sure, that's a DAMN good idea with the piece of glass, don't know how I'd keep it secure though what with moving the damn lights arounds so much na mean?

Also i'm pretty sure when I move this summer im just gone make another cab with like a 400W MH/HPS cooltube and use the maid as a mother box.

You could just mount all your lights to a piece of wood then put the glass infront of the bulbs it'd be like a cool box

Yeah I'm sayin like entertainment center somethin ith easy front acces
Plus with a cool tube temps are the same as half the watts with the cfls lol my shits breezey

But any ways keep that spinach healthy!

Yea that's a damn good idea, but i'm not mechanically minded, and I don't have tools to do somthing like that, lol. I musta not put the filters on right last night, and I just got home from work and those three girls had my bedroom and hallway outside of it stinkin', it was great, lol.

for temps in such a small box u could buy a bag of dry ice and put a lil in a small box helping the temp cecause the increase in co2 from the dry ice also helps plants take greater heat extremes

Thanx dude, don't be too envious though, i've made some mistakes myself, lol, even with reading almost every how-to and guide on this site for months and months and careful planing I got bad soil and didn't take into account the different heights of my bulbs and now some of my leaves are suffering cause of it. Don't worry dude you'll get it down, and so will I, thanx for stopping in homie.
