although the little one that got burned by the light is pretty nasty looking the secondary growth is starting to come in on both of the plants so i think the burned ones gonna make it!!!!

heres some pics of the plants today at day 35 i took out the big 42 watt 27k bulb for now and put in 2 26 watt 41k cfls in for now just because there still small and i cant fit that much HEAT in my cab i need more ventalation anyway i have a question since these are autos i was wondering when should i cut my lights down to 20/4 then 16/8 eventually trying to cut down on the e bill but dont want a comical crop there only roughly 4 in tall id say but my plan is that the one on the left im gonna LST also i hear when u start to cut down the lights the growing reallly takes off anyway heres the pics:weed:

lookin damn good man, there bushing out really nicely, exactly how hot does it get in your cab? and are those Soft White cfl's? for vegging you want the Daylight blue spectrum lights, jus keep the lights at 18/6, it dosnt use up that much electricity at all, they will show sex after a good time, then you switch directly to 12/12, iv never heard of slowly putting the times down to increase growth

hmm well i was under the asumption that the lighting schedules are diff for autoflowering strains the site says that this strain can be grown under 24/0. anywho at what week should i switch the light schedlue so that i maximize my yeildage ?

Yea they can be grown from 24/0, but i was just sayin you dont really need to slowly cut the times down to 12/12, well basically you have untill they show sex, then you switch to 12/12, there smaller plants and have a smaller yield, they stay small and finished in a short time
