Thanks for popping in Del, they hit the reflector every morning now, I left for 2 days and got back to a few burnt leaves nothing major. I have been blessed with very healthy plants and environment in this grow.

hey, nice grow! its good to see people actually using big cfl's properly , a lot of people use only tiny cfl's and they get bad press when most of the time its the growers that arn't any good. i did a entirely cfl grow a few months ago, i used 2 x 300w 8U cfls and 12 x 14w cfl's (cost me 9p per bulb!) for flowering , vegged my plants for 7 weeks . overall , dry weight was 8 and a half ounces(238 grams) from 5 plants . check out my grow journal for more info. It will be really interesting to see what happens with your grow, i have heard that auto's don't work as well with cfl's as hid lighting but thats probably just another grower myth.
happy growing:joint:

Hi everyone, Here are a few pics of the biggest bud from the 9 easy buds, I got a total of 244 gm of wet and will post the final dry weight in a few weeks. I have scrogged the master kush and the laughing buddha plants and the MK is well on its flowering way, I expect some fat buds by the end of this month.

I have also got 16 MK clones that have been under the 12/12 for 5 days now and have already started to flower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anybody ever witnessed this before. I took the clones off the MK just before it started to show pistils and started flowering, they were in the aero cloner for 10 days and now under the lights since Sunday. Never seen that before!!!

Yeah I've only just found out last night that this is indeed the case, for some reason I thought they would revert back but clearly not, learning curves are great.
