How do they look?

My plants @ 1 month and some change. 4 of them already well over a foot tall.

They look good. Will you be using cfl's for the flowering stage or do you have something else in mind?

very nice? are you flowering? they look mildly stretched, but this could be the flowering stretch, otherwise they look amazing for 1x cfl each

can i ask what exact kind of CFL bulb that is, looks like thats working out great for you man.

I've been following your journal closely Majortoke and I was originally going to triple # of CFLs for flowering but right now I leaning towards that 400 W HPS for flowering from HTGsupply. Those 42W CFLs are $10 a piece anyway. I hope I get some girls. How far away would you say I am from flowering?

if i were you, i would top those plants, order the 400w, when it comes, put it up and set 12/12. you don't have much branching, but they are getting tall, thats why i suggest a top, or you could set 12/12 now, order you're 400w and when it comes, put it up right before the light cycle, i did this when i used cfl's. the reason i say flower now is with the 400whps it will flower your plant amazingly well, but only the top 15-20 inches, those plants will double to triple in size the first 2 weeks of flowering, and that penetration won't do, they could branch out during flowering.... ive seen some plants not. the decision is your's, just trying to give you some expierence from something i learned myself.

It is my first grow so I've never topped a plant so I'll need to do some more reading. I'm growing them in a shower with the CFLs handing from a shower rod. I'll try to get some more pics closer up so you can really see em good. They have been exploding the past two weeks. I just started giving them a synthetic nute called Ionic grow. I saw majortoke flowered @ 12'' or so but I haven't yet. Still saving money for the HPS light. Should I try to clone them first. Is the success rate for cloning high? I'll be able to have a grow room and a flowering room so I want to keep growing while I'm flowering. I used scotts potting soil and I seems to work great. Thanks for the feedback guys and I could use any advice.

You just got the advice. Flower them. Cut back the light to 12/12.

do a search for the FIM technique. it'll teach you how to top em.
