Awesome set up, extra marks for originality

My little girls are about 4 1/2 inches tall and they have stopped growing it looks like. Any idea y this may be happening? Also, I just got 2 new auto assassin sprouts last night, and they are already about 1/2 tall today. Is this normal for autos? All of my plants are smaller than 5 inches and I have a grand total of 8 plants in my veg room right now. I am running (6) 23 watters at 6500K. All my plants are about 3 inches from the light...Does it sound like I'm doin it right? Thanks in advance all!

Have you got any pics? The set up sounds about right but you might be running too many plants for the amount of light you've got emitted...

Hey guys, I'm in the midst of my grow right now, I've got some serious LST going on and this plant looks like it may produce 9 or 10 major main cola sized bud sites. 5 26watt CFLs, 1 40watt CFL.

on these 3 i have
1 23 watt 6500k
3 23 watt 2700k
1 42 watt 2700k
i have decided that all my plants will be female..(i can see the future!)

party cups always amaze me! i got scared and transplanted to one gallon jugs before i flowered yesterday. think i can finish in these? veged for bout a month.

SO Mine are 14 inches or 16 inches any advice
I have had mine for 2 months or more

 

[Attic]

is that enough watts per plant? what r your yields like?

probably not enough.... if it is enough i would say bare minimum. ... i havent gone through a cycle with just cfls just a 400hps a year or two ago but i will let you know
i try to start more plants than i need so i can end up with more females.... so far i dont think ive had any plants not get enough light (some got too much) i think reflectiveness, size of area, and placement of lights make big difference for me...maybe it makes up for having not enough lights haha but yeah im always adding fixtures so i should have more by the time im through come check on my gro help me out! haha
