i really enjoyed looking/reading this thread. i am a newb and so far so good. iam also using cfls right now for my veg room. im running 5 26w cfls and 1 46w cfls. I also have NL strain(2 plants). i have begun to lst, and topped one in hopes of getting good side shoot growth for taking cuttings. it seems to be going very well. i have takin 7 total cuttings and 2 of them have takin root. this is my first time cloning and i am using soil/peat moss mix. everything i have learned has been from this site as well. i am going to try my first scrog as soon as i get a few more cuttings to root. but i am curious to try your method that you used here in this thread as well. thats what its about, the learning process and what works for you. like they always say, practice makes perfect. oh...and not to get off topic here but....you think i could get a lil help on how to start my own thread? i am either a complete idiot or im just blind and not seeing what im lookin for. thanx a bunch and happy growing from your boy jaysizzle.
