Where in the hell am I?

Well, here I sit, just got done raising my lights for the second time since they turned on (less than 2 hours ago) Bugs are DEAD! Still, if anyone knows what they might have been, please let me know. I'm almost positive that they will rear their ugly little heads again for me to shmash!
Everything is still growing, filling out, looking great!
I might not be able to post for a couple of days. So, keep growin, and stay tuned . . .

Ty bro. Yep, they are all 23. Like I said, I added an additional 6-8 ( I don't remember which), when I put them all into flower. Plus, when I did that, I added the 1 light board going across the top.
Lol I am definately not bashing your grow, cuz it look great... BUT WHY ARE YOU USING 23 WATT CFLs? Are they alot cheaper than 32 watt or soemthing? Cuz the more lumens you get with CFL grows, then the faster everything grows...

btw u can flower with cfls but make sure you use warm white when you switch to 12/12 flowering.

BTW I forgot to mention, but for the last few days I have been puttin in smokin SESSIONS in my grow room. I don't know, I'm doin' somethin right, 'cause this shit's outta control. I'm gonna take true measurements tomorrow and compare to my first measurements. SHMOKE ON!!!!

lmao... tobacco smoke is supposed to be really bad for the plants, so I would think that is a bad idea. But if its workin for you then keep goin!

So, today's day 16 of the flowering. I'm so pleased with the way the grow is looking so far, that it 'aint even funny!
My buds are swelling already, the pistil exploded all over so much the past 2 days, it proves Dog doesn't always hate me!:lol:
Bugs are gone and not missed. Yesterday and today watered the plants with clearex. I dont water the plants all on the same day 'cause so far they haven't all been thirsty on the same day. But I do make sure that they are all flushed every 2 weeks, hopin for some good taste.
Get back @ y'all soon!

Okay, day 18 of flower and its lookin like all is well! Just gonna post these pics and hope y'all are able to see @ least some of the cause of my happiness @ the moment:weed:!
Buds continue to swell like hourly, it seems! Looks like the plants have finally stopped growing vertically. Still getting a little bushier daily, but I think even that should be slowed if not stopped.
