Have moved cfl lights closer to plants about 5 inches away hopefully that will stop the stretching.

Def need so bat wings asap so i can have my lights on there side for better lighting. But just considering in buying a hps light kit and ac unit instead then use cfls just for clone box.

Just routed my exhaust to vent out a window as when i start using hps it will raise ambient temp exhausting in same room.

Doing some tests now to see temps.

Here is a pic.

Also germinated Special Kush and Lemon Kush. Should be showing by tomorrow or the next.

Seems like slow growth on ak47xwhite widow and bubble gum. But ak47 starting second set of leaves.

Hope i can get a good yield from these fwm seeds.

Ak47x white widow & bubble gum have gone really pale and droopy suspected from overwatering. (

Have trabsplanted into new soil and leave till fully dry to see if they can bounce back.

Decided to transplant as previous soil was no good had to many woodchips..

Transplantes into scotts pure organic soil with some coir, peat and perlite to add excelent drainage.

Invested in a moisture reader so now over watering will not be an issue..

Probably have to wait another week after transplant shock to see progress..

God dam already behind by 3 weeks easy...

Will upload pics when it allows me too.

Plants a real perky 2 days after feeding of thrive all plant food nutrients and added trace elements. I think i was under feeding using power feed seaweed and kelp organic ferts. So may just stick to thrive until i can buy some better ferts.

Love checking the plants daily seeing the differences over night.

Thinking i may veg to knee height then flower so they will be roughly 2 feet from pots.

Also considering topping the biggest plants again one more time to try get some better clones then i have already.

Thinking of potting up to 5 gallon then flower the big ones.

Also going to invest in a small veg tent soon.

Struggling with temp issues so only can run my lights on 250 watts during the day and bump to 400-600 watts over night.

Have changed my setup by venting in outside air and exhausting into garage. Which now lets me run 400 watt at night at 28 deg on cooler days i will bump to 600.

I will be flowering within the next two weeks.

Also few of my clones are now showing roots through peat pellets.
