These are my BABIES

I was really worried about these babys the one in the pot is ak49 auto and the others are KC Brains Northern Lights Special. Now first off i'd like to dispel the myth that kc brains are garbage. The only reason theres only three NL plants there is cuz i ran my hand over a seedling and snapped it. But anyway in my last thread i was really worried about my seedlings stretching so i actually broke apart the rockwool very carefully, pulled out the root system and pulled the plants a little deeper. Then I kept cfls on them instead of my 400w mh. Now theyre 2 weeks old and looking great thanks everyone for all your help.

The only question i have is if i should just reintroduce the 400 watter or keep cfls. What ive been doing to transition is letting the timer turn on in the am and when i get up i turn it off and turn on the cfls til about 10 pm then i turn the MH back on and let the timer turn it off
at 2 am i have them vegging on 20-4 sorry i accidentally downloaded these pics in triplicateIMG_20130301_150444.jpgIMG_20130301_150432.jpgIMG_20130301_150427.jpgIMG_20130301_150444.jpgIMG_20130301_150432.jpgIMG_20130301_150427.jpgIMG_20130301_150444.jpgIMG_20130301_150432.jpgIMG_20130301_150427.jpg

Good looking young plants. There are plenty of know-it-alls on here who I'm sure will compete to answer your lighting question. Best of luck with your grow..

Lights, Lights, more Lights!:-P
Also, you can get them closer, and if you turn them so the side of the bulb is facing the plant, you will make better use of it (More light emanates from the sides.).

in a lil while put your 400w 2 or 3 feet away and bring it closer gradually. (if it wont overheat your room). i see temps more important than amount of light especially in the beginning

so the more wattage the faster it grows?

yeah my 400 w mh is 24 in away and of course the cfls are right up close within a few inches i just was wondering cuz i noticed the cfs made them really pop a bunch of nodes in a few days but now that theyre established a bit better do i go 400w no cfls, only cfls or both?
