nice one............when you get the 600s you might want to try 12-12 from seed............thats if you dont want to grow trees.........you want to save power........and the world...id flip if i was using cfls or do lst to keep it short....... cause your plant will stretch in flower.

yeah i think switching now would be a good idea, im guessing around 4 feet fully flowered... this grow went pretty good for cfls, they get expensive the higher the wattage though, thanks for the help

CFL's can get expensive the higher the wattage! after a while you're better off with HID

to be honest i used to veg a while but just doesnt seem worth the bother..........just ended up with more leaf and no extra bud.......12-12 from seed seems to be catching on big time.
