Well, I will have to say that they don't look like they are 4 weeks into veg. They look closer to 4 weeks from seed. Take a look at my grow journal. My plants will be going on 3 weeks into veg tomorrow.

How far are your lights from the canopy? With CFLs they need to be 1"-3" away. Your plants actually look fine, but you are going to have to veg them longer. Are you using any nutes? Is getting an HID out of the question? Stronger lights will promote better growth.

they look like 2nd week veg too me. As Midnight joker said 3~4cm on cfl lighting will help these girls grow and bush out....

Wow u really good! Yes they are almost 4 weeks from seeds! Damn, I must be too new to this! Cfl lights are about 16" above them! But when I put them closer the temps really rise up! To about 120F! I don't want to cook the little ladies! I have fans everywhere! Should I remove one of the lights? To make temps go down a bit?

My plan is to get them at least 16" then they go to a different grow room with a 600HPS 12/12

On cfls's they are on 20/4 time! watering 3 times a week! one just plain ph balanced water, 2nd superthrive with ph balanced water and last terra veg with a small drop of superthrive!

So how long from seedlings should they get into veg?

But i dont want to cook them! U think that those 3 lights are too much for the grow area? This is only my nursery area! Then they will go to a 2 square meter room! Any suggestions?

Yeah, if they are 4 weeks from seed, then you are actually only into your second week of veg. You have to give your seedlings 2 weeks of growth before they are considered a veg.

If you have a 600w HPS, I would use that now if you can. How big is your grow room? You want your plants to be as short and bushy as possible during veg because those girls are going to double or even triple in size when you flower. Keep that in mind.

You generally want to veg your girls for 4 weeks or when they get pre-flowers. Then you can flip them to 12/12.

What are you using for extract/intake for your grow room?

Well, the ladies are gonna go to a 2 square meter room with 4 X 160cm intake fans,ducted from the outside, and 2 big rhino 8" carbon kits with extractor fans! You think that would be enough as my light and carbon kit are on their way!

yes that fine but you wont need 2 fans and filter for 1 room! the 1 8 inch fan and filter will do,

You will have to excuse my ignorance on the metric system, but how tall is is the grow room in inches or feet? I think you will be more than fine with 4 fans for intake and 2 carbon filters. It might be a little over kill, but hey, I always say go big or go home. What size inline fan are you getting for the carbon filters?

I would kill to live in Amsterdam! Lucky you...

Your top space is a little low. Since pots are about a foot tall and the light (600w HPS) hangs down a foot, you really only have 2 feet of growing space for vertical height. I would think about LSTing the plants.

What is LSTing?

Your plants are looking great. It looks like you have 2 plants in one pot. I know that you are limited on space, but you would be better off going with just 3 plants in 3 pots or 4 plants in 4 pots. Having 2 plants in 1 pot is going to lead to your girls being root bound when they get bigger. I would fix that now before they get too big.

LST = low stress training. You bend your plants into an S shape to keep them from growing vertically. They instead grow horizontally, which would work well for your final grow room. Here is a thread with pics on LSTing. https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/289968-show-me-what-you-got.html
 
ok got you now like banzai training! Yea i can do that! Cool man thanx!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am gonna get a tent to sort all this mess out!IMG_1126.jpgIMG_1128.jpgIMG_1125.jpgIMG_1127.jpg
