yea it sux not having enough lights, i am going throught the same problem with cfls. i had got a bunch of seeds from a friend that had been saving them, there were over thirty. i germinated all of them and put them in a peat moss mix with perlite and lime/mag. at first i had 6 13w cfls. they were all getting stretched, some of them died, i f#@^#d up and drop several of them, so i just started throwing away some of the ones that were messed up and the count slowly dwindled. i have 7 seedlings now and only have (4)13w (2)26w = 104watts. which is only good for 1 plant really. so i picked out the one that looks the best and most likely a female to keep her in veg, and i threw the other one into flower room today

here's an idea on how to set up a row of lights, this my homemade light cfl light fixture. you'll have to take down ur closet light if you have one, undo the wires from the light socket to reveal the wires, make sure you do not touch the pliers to both of the wires at the same time, it will flip the breaker, just do not touch them together. then take an equal guage wire as the one from the socket which is most likely 12g copper, but if not that will work, if you can get your hands on some, run the piece the distance of the socket to the location which you want to hang the fixture, and in my case i just set it ontop of equal sized twin nightstands and put a dark shirt over it. each of the sockets were a little over $2 a piece which it wound up being about $8 all together. can get them at a local hardware store, it is safe to add as many as you need this way

How is the odor now? And is Bubble a low height plant per the genetics? I need a stocky plant due to height restrictions.

Great to see this is coming along nicely! ;-) :leaf:

The Oder died down about 5 weeks into veg. The funny thing with her is she didnt really get talller in flower she just grew more leaves. She really filled out. I am rounding out the second week of flower this weekend. I keep forgetting to take pics but i will this weekend.
