so the plant looks better each day. i was wondering will the plant start to flower auto when its big enough? i know im already behind schedule for an auto time frame so just wanted to make sure it should still flower. on a side note im sorta amazed at the smell already coming off the plant without any flowers and for its size. walked into the room the other day and thought i had been smoking in it! cant wait to smell it once its got flowers!

Hmm... there's a
"3 x 8W T5 Tube including 2pcs White Light Tube and 1piece Blue Light Tube, provides Even plenty of light for your tank."
on eBay - I should of bought that just for the blue light and half the price of the 'jump start' grow kit for seedlings

well after re looking at the cfl posts on lighting i realized the 3500 color light was wrong so returned it and found a 2700 color light. on a second note found a higher wattage bulb at 43 watts and even more lummens.IMG_0578.jpgIMG_0579.jpg

cant wait! im just worried that the lower buds arent getting enough light but i cant put anymore in. does anyone ever rotate their plant to allow the light to hit different areas better or just let it be?

i got a 250cfl for like $40...not sure how much or the seperate bulbs cost u plus adapters etc but might b cheaper ? :/ and for gettin to lower buds u can either train them slowly so they stey out more and/or paint the walla in a bright white that wont pollute the air or cover in reflective sheeting. the cfl's are self ballasted too, so its literally just pluged into the wall and u dont have to worry bout balast overheating etc or getting humid. food for thought ! good luck though they look healthy i hope u get some nice smoke

yea i got some reflective pannels basically to contain majority of the light in to the plant. and its not so much the cost of the lights but running them.
