Got any photos of your plant and/or setup? What are you using for lights, neuts, molasses? On my first grow my weight didn't come in until the last few weeks. If you don't have adequate lighting then it may never come.

i tryed not to go to cheap on my garden so i went ahead and got HUMBOLT HONEY ES instead om using molasses but i suppose it does the same thing. it can be used through most of veg and all of flower all the way up to flush. it does give a little more and def. makes a curve in the tatse. directions are like 1.5 tbsp per gallon

i have never felt the heat from a 250watter but 4" is wayyyy to close for comfort for me. with a cfl yes 4" but think, 8 cfl a plant x this kids9 maybe? thats over 70 bulbs x1.50 a piece . thats over 100 dollars easy.

yeah with my 6 bulbs 2 42 watters and 4 23 watters gets pretty warm in the wired 2 cpu fan stays around 82 with the lights one this is the setup for only 2 plants though so they get enough light lights are about 2 inches from top colas just picked up two industrial light 400 watters for 100 bucks off of craigslist for my next grow

I pulled about 2 ounces off 8 26 watt cfls on my first grow.

Molasses. I never measured it out. I just poured about a spoon full directly into the watering can.

Click to expand...

I have to say that a 250W at 4" is nice... closer without burn ... i run my 1000w at 12" of the top cola... not air or water cooled either... just a big airflow in the room...

yeah i keep 2 fans blowing constant on top of the plants with no heat problems. i add my molasses in with my guano/worm castings and aerate it for 24- 48 hours prior to feeding. just as good as it can get fellas!
