your buds:bigjoint: wont really be worth smokin if thats all the light ur gunna use 1 200w cfl mounted in a reflector wud do alot more .noticablly more. in that size grow room a 200w is about 600w hps power but without the heat. keeps the room at about 25 to 28c :leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:

uh yea i kinda figured that would be the case. but 42w is the highest bulb i can find anywhere around here. i could get another to make it 2x42w. ordering one online is a def. no aswell.

well anyhow. the second pair of jagged leaves is coming in. beginning week 2 of veg on 56w of daylightbulbs. and just planted a 3rd seed. germed using paper towel method, opposite of what i did with my other ones and it got a long 1.5 cm tail. this way i figure itll grow more rapidly and catch up when it breaks the surface. i think im definetly going to need that extra bulb

new picture from this afternoon. on 18/6 responding very well. watered just a little. i found out my soil likes the water i put on the bottom of my bucket, keeps the humidity regular and my soil is moist pretty much forever. new leaves are showing and the existing ones are nicely kept. they like me:-P

yea i am going to need that other bulb at least. i have 3 growing now to make sure i atleast get a female. the 2 that i planted at the same time, one is getting more growth than the other, seems to be drooping. and i have a smaller one i planted a week after cuz my other seed was a bust.
I dont know if they look normal for a grow on about the 2nd week of veg for CFLs. i think they look small and i definetly dont want popcorn. heres a pic of all 3 i have going. you can tell they all look different in growth.

i dont think its actually ever been dry ontop. i dont know if its cuz my soil is messed or cuz i put water in the bottom of my bucket to keep the humidity up, but no the thing is pretty much always moist. and i have hardly watered it because of that.

Hey have you got your plant in the bottom of this bucket? if your plant and pot are sat in water the roots will constantly suck up the water

125w ov cfl is 4 times better than a 125 hps...125w = something like 400w hps.. but with less electric bill..i use 200w self ballasted cfls now and my buds are mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm stinky sticky and fat. ill never use hps unless planning a big crop but i only do 5 at a time.. cos its all for me to smoke.. me me me i tell thee. try gro duban poison... v v v nice
