Plants are looking healthy at least they just need more light if your in the uk take them outdoors on warm days.this will give far better plants than cfls.

I know its alot of cfls but , I have alot of good luck with them and produced some dank ass bud . I have a 400w hid but have been running the cfls until I can get a new ballast for it . Old one shit the bucket . I have done 3 grows with them and have no complaints
Glad to hear you've had good results with the cfls!

Only problem i think i have currently is humidity we got a temp/humid reader and its at like 82F and 37-47 humidity can that take roll to why they are growing at such a slow rate and if so how do you increase the humidity without a humidifier i thought you would just put water in with it to vaporize since it was at 82F but it seems to not have an effect. comments concerns are GREATLY appreciated =)

Ok i went to lowes and got a 150w CFL light and fixture and it is BRIGHT.... still my question is how do you make humidity without a humidifier..... right now its at 41% humidity. I would if i lived out in the UK but i live in the cold of st louis Missouri which is the reason why im growing because im tired of messed with product and would love to enjoy my own hands work and effort =)

..my plant is 4 days old, and is taller than that- and im definately a beginner, i'm just doing a little closet grow. i'll try to get a picture, but i don't have a camera better than 2mp, so it might not be too clear..

yeah it kinda sucks but i got the seeds from some nug i consumed and thought id give it a try but the other little ones are probably only 2 weeks the one had probs from beginning was deformed and thats the healiest one now of the group it looks, the tallest one was from a previous batch i had until we tried to nut them but the mix was to much and burned the roots and staunted the growth but that one managed to survive so i kept it in spite of it being strong so i think its just recovering still from the initial burn which is why i have it now on the 150 watt CFL to test it to see what works =)

Alright new info on this we went out got some 150Wat 2600 lumina CFLs and mounted them up they seems to REALLY like them alot better the bigger one shooted its leaves up toward the light and actually GREW a little over a period of 5 hours.... best results ive seen yet with lighting since they were born. Heres a new picture of the set up, i actually feel alot safer this way so i dont have to finagle with floro bulbs.
