I took these pics at noon today and I should have waited b/c i just checked on them and they grew atleast an inch each LOL! they are responding very well to the grow big at 1/4 does every other. i also took a look at the 5 kush seeds i have germinating and 3 of them are showing a tap root, i'm gonna get them in soil tomorrow. I use Oceans by Foxfarm, i like the way sprouts respond to it. I am getting a better digital camera this week so i can get great pics through the grow.

today I was able to plant the 5 KUSH seeds I had germinating. I got 100% to crack:-) so we will give them a few days to sprout and hopefully everyone including the already along bubbilicious will be on the same page.........

im right with ya blinky.....i plant mine last night (all 7 germinated 100%). maybe we should start a new thread to compare our grows? :) and i cant wait to see those hps's up and running.....are u just gonna let the t5's when your flowering or are you gonna build another area to grow in so you can keep clones and seedlings coming?

Hey I like that idea about a new thread:-) I plan on building seperate area for the t5 and veging. I have know clue how to clone yet, even though i have read a lot on it still feels unclear to me:-( My plan is to get a strong mother or two in the future veg room and clone her for awhile. My bubs are looking really good today except one of them is a lil deformed but nothing to serious. HOW LONG DO YOU USUALLY VEG YOURS?

im a nancy and dont let mine get too big. like a foot during veg (equals 2-3 ft after flowering) and that is my plan this time. right now i let them get about 7-10" tall then flower. they end up at about 1.5 ft - 2ft. which is plenty for me considering im only growin for personal use. i would say grow them as big as you can with out stretching your light.

keep your plants touchen the t5s practically.. thats a mistake I learned and I kept mine way to far away... if you usen t5s to grow them to 1 foot then flower with an hps id think they would get bigger then even 2 feet..?

yeah, i have the t5 about 1 and half inches away from the plants. I am gonna post some current pics of them tomorrow. They are responding very well to the t5, I am gonna flower them under my to HPS's when the time is right. like tryintogrow said i only need enough bud so I dont need to veg much more than a foot. I will flower for awhile though:-)

I AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING A MUCH BETTER CAMERA, TILL NOW THIS CRAPPY ONE WILL DO. I have 5 new sprouted kush, I included a picture of the biggest one next to my favorite bubbilicious plant. the other 4 kush sprouts are not very big yet.

Might have to eat my words about what I said regarding CFLs in my journal. You haven't used those other lights you have, right? If those plants are from strictly CFL light, I'm impressed. Good job! Maybe I'll reconsider my cloning efforts.

yeah i am exited, just feel like if it isnt broke dont fix it when it comes to putting the hps lights back into the closet. even with a inline 6'' fan bringing in 70 degree air i was still running 84 and the hoods where are cooled. just like how I can get my light evenly around the plants with the T5.
