Get those lights 1 inch away, there stretching. CFLs run verrryyy cool, ive got a fan blowing on mine and the plants can actually touch the lights with out gettin burnt.... Every time you half the distance between the lights and your plants, you are quadrupling the amount of light because...

Hey m8, DO NOT use incandescent light. there about 5 % efficient and most of the light cannot be used by the plants.get cfls, and read up abit.

Thanks :) i will keep vegging until it has enough for clones.

no, its about 10 inchs. and its a well rooted clone. sorry i forgot to mention tht. It has bin lacking in growth but today there is new growth.. no point in killing it just yet. round leaves??

My plant is about 3 week old and has had alot of stress recently. I got it when it just started to flower, and ive put it back into 18/6...... but roundish leavess?? Cheers :) :weed:

:) + rep... thanks

pot was mentioned a suspicious amount of times in that post.... looks like its time to light up

I dont use them either lol,I got this particular plant off a friend who does use them. I didn't think this looked right either... but with the setup he has....... its hard to question his ways haha. I am going to get some more soil and re-pot in the same pot. Its a large pot (cba lukin exactly...

i will try watering more often. Cheers +rep and its not foil its polywrap (cheap mylar). so that shouldn't affect it :)

pics are now up :) ..sorry bout tht.

Any ideas??? heat stress is my first thought because i have had problems maintaining a constant temperature.... but that has now been resolved. Hopefully the problem will fade, but 2 heads are better than 1.and RIU is the best place to cum :weed: Strain : Orange Week : 2 Water : every 3 days...

Hey m8, the CFL's have a ballast in them usually :S .... ive never seen them without. You 100 % sure its not got a ballast??

I suppose.... but it terms of pure reflect-ability its still no match for mylar or polywrap (shiny wrapping paper)

Tin foil IS SHIT FOR REFLECTING!!!! its a fire hazard and causes hot spots. the Aluminium molecules turn the light into internal energy.. and thus light is lost..... flat white paint all the way trust me!!!

Nice....ill checkout your journal m8.

I could have rambled on about getting a HPS but he would have by now if he was going to lol. ill just light another bong haha. Peace.

Emergency blankets are good..... and shiny xmas paper... its all the same stuff. And i WOULD NOT recommend tin foil, it conducts electricity, causes hotspots, is hard to get flat, and is nowhere near as good as shiny xmas paper. Hope this helped m8 :)

Using 230 watts of CFL's pulls exactly the same power as the HPS..... the EXACT same. Although HPS has a more efficient watt per lumen ratio. 1 watt = 1 Joule / 1 second 230 watt CFL = 230 Joules per second 230 watt HPS = 230 Joules per second. Hope this helped.

It deffo looks sativa to me m8, maybe your not growing what you think your growing...... I would only advise that you get some side lighting for the flower room. CFLs have low penetration so i would suggest getting a few smaller wattage cfls and adding them wherever they'll fit. :) Very nice...

That strain sound like the shit! you ne ideas on how hard it is to grow??
