agree with "Lucky Luke" watch your watering . What is your light distance from plant for CFL's you can put them 2 inches above plant. with 2-6 inches being the max

they do need a dark period. perhaps 18/6 or 20/4 would work better. 5000k will work fine for vegging then add the 2700k to the mix for flowering too much red during vegging will cause them to stretch

. It makes sense now thanks
