main-lining with cfl is it just as effective..

Does vermiculite make the soil more absorbent or make it drain better? It seems like it would hold water but stay soft enough for roots to grow through. I have a bag laying around I might mix in. So far I mix perlite into every soil blend even if it has some already in it.
iv always used it under the impression it creates great aeration in the soil for the roots and better drainage! Not sure if it holds water or not. Mix it in my man it won't harm your soil mix!

4x4 tent stuffed with 4-6 main lined girls topped for 16 HAH! thats dreaming big. well if you're asking about the one thats only 3 weeks old, id say the stretch is just starting. the first two weeks she was moving along slowly 3rd week I topped above the 4th node and all of the shoots below it blew up. shes in a gallon sand pail loving it roots already growing out of it. her stem is thickening up as well. theres 7 cfls and 3 t8 fluros in that cardboard box.

the tent has a 600w just two different projects/emperiments atm
That would be fucking awesome!! Think of all the big colas in there.. I look forward to seeing that grow. Ok cool just a bit worried mine is stretched that much after the first week hopefully it will later like yours. You've got it sorted!

Cant tell by the lighting but are your leaves really dark? do your tips curl down slightly? and when you smell ya plant does it smell like ammonia or cat piss?

I think the pics make the plant look darker than they are and the leaves don't curl down or smell.. Why are these symptoms of N defficiently? She seems alright to me! I love the pic of your last grow looks awesome!!!
