What up RIU!
So no one is confused about my setup, it's your basic do-it-yourself PC box. Powerstrip is zip-tied to the top with three fixtures attached to it housing 1 23W 6500K CFL (1600 lumens) + 1 23W 2700K CFL (2100 lumens) + 1 40W 6500K CFL (2600 lumens) and I have another fixture slightly lower for supplemental light which is another 23W 2700 CFL rated at 2100 lumens. There's a heatsink ziptied centrally between all the lights to suck up the heat. One intake fan at the bottom and one for exhaust on the top (this also helps suck the heat off the lights)
These little beauties are 26 days old since they broke the soil. The first two weeks was 24 HR light and up until now has been 18/6. They are now on their second day of 12/12 light and entering the flowering cycle.
I have a scrog built but I am waiting to install it until I have one confirmed female. I would go ahead and implement it now but don't want to end up with a male plant all twisted up in the screen. I am currently worried they will get to tall before I get to scrog them, they're growing close to half an inch a day. I don't really want to top them, so I'm guessing I should do some LST? Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
