Happy to hear that yours hids are on the way, you will be amazed w then. If I were u, I'd turn then on right away in Veg, 4 more weeks at least or untill u feel they are ready to go into bloom, any hid is better than a cfl.You can flowering w hps only, or can use both spectrum which I'm testing now on this second batch of clones, and I can tell, looks good.(by the way these clones were brought back from the dead, thanks to hids), I learned here on RIU that blue spectrum helps tricomes build up, so I turned then on along, MH/HPS , I just don't remember who I heard that from, lol. We also can count on dual arc bulbs, that carries MH/HPS in one bulb. The point is to get closer as possible to the McCree curve. I would love to have the means to measure my grow room's PAR-light range, unfortunate I don't have, so I need the plants to talk back to me. Good to know ur ladies r doing good, they r about to go better.
