I had 9 in there and i lst'd them so they had at least 5 main buds on them. I doubt i'll ever have a grow that good again but i'm gonna give it a damn good go!

The hps seems to be making a difference the nodes look like they are getting shorter and the leaves are getting thicker too. I'll do a pic update tomorrow coz not much has happened, i've only noticed the changes coz i look at them so closely lol

I thought it might be a bit too strong fo seedlings but i wish i'd used it about 5 days sooner but i couldn't be arsed to put the vent duct back up. The JF smells nice already even though its only in veg. I've got high hopes for those and they weren't cheap and i'm looking forward to the SSH now coz i've heard good things about it, we'll see if ghsc can redeem themselves, with me anyway. I know a lot of people don't like them for different reasons but it was their WW i was not pleased with, it looked great but was weak and bland to smoke

Sensi say that Jack Flash is a "world class sativa" i'm no expert but those JF look more indica than the ww i grew but they are only young so they could change, i hope. They are quite tall but thats coz they've been under cfls until two days ago. The SSH are on the right. How do you guys think they are getting on?

The stretching is coz of the cfls, i think cfls are only good for starting seeds off and rooting clones. IMHO you shouldn't use them for growth, the ones i have anyway

I'm using a single monstro 200W CFL for my vegeing and it got a ton'o'power for vegeing - consistently keeps my nodal spacing really tight .... though I'm sure HID/CMH are probably better - the big CFL is ?cheaper?cooler? don't know if I believe any of that. :peace::peace::peace::peace::peace:

I reckon those high watt cfls will do the trick. Mine are 2 18w ones so they are only just strong enough to have any growth, i didn't put that much thought or money into my veg tent.
I'm gonna start using my foliar feed today when the light comes on (18/6 now). I used it last time and they erupted

I started with 9 - 42W CFL's and quickly realized that I wanted more ..... but those first plants grew up really well and I account some of that to a great start under CFL's lots n' lots of people here are doing great things with CFL's but regardless, a direct comparison with HID shows that those plants can have more potential. Doesn't make any or either worng, just different choices for different reasons .... Walk On!!~~

I like the low heat aspect of them. I just haven't got enough power with my two little ones. I've only got a little veg tent (dr40). I might get a bigger cfl so i can have dedicated flower and veg tents coz atm i have to veg 'em under my hps

and that works too .... I needed to have stealth and plug'n'play ... that's what I got and for now it works ... I REALLY want to grow properly outdoors though ... walk on!!~~

yea that would make it tough furshure .... I would start them in probably Feb/Mar ... and put outdoors in June ....grow through to September.October ..... it'd be tough cuz I seen snow in every month ....so ANYTHING can happen !!! :peace:
We just don't have the weather for it, maybe in Devon or Cornwall it would be ok
