Well this is the time I hate cause things slow down and I can't make it rain, waiting for the bitches to stick their toes into the new soil. much like when the peat pellets went into the 6 inch pots. I simply watered around the edge of the pot with a quart of water w/nutes (since sunshine has none) so instaed of 2 inches since last pic only got an inch and a half of new growth. Still they are doing good and should start taken off this next week :)

I added some shots of the guest and for those of you lurking, I'll share they have been here for almost 3 weeks and I have yet to water them. because I have them 5 feet from the light they are in mom mode, going slow as I want the others to catch up, still they have grown 4 inches,,,,,,,,,, GOT CMH?

Light cycle is 16.45/7.15 for this week, Enjoy the pic's

they look great, Riddle maaan!!! i love those big, fat indica leaves. i been thinking about getting one of those cmh bulbs after these die off, but will it work on my ballast? http://www.htgsupply.com/growlights.asp?categoryID=1&subcategoryID=106&typeID=67. i know it says not to use digital ballasts, but im not even sure what i have lol. i got the mh/hps kit at the bottom
no ballast specs on that link, so can't tell ya. The best way to figure it out is to look for the ansi code on the ballast itself

oooooo ok. so this is not digital? i didnt see anything about the S-- numbers when i was reading about the cmh bulbs, just that you cant use them with digital ballast and it should be a "regular" hps ballast

Minor update, made another storm today, they really like it, afterwards I measured them and #2 is now 12 inches tall # 4 is now 17 inches tall. The guest were 17 inches when I got them they are now 23 inches tall, damn CMH light now I'm gonna have to top #4 to even out the canopy and top the gifted guest that I keep, so gettin time to clone me some for phase 2 woohoo

good news is that #4 is a tilders plant and I flipped tilders at 13 inches and she finished at 21 so at least I have an idea of big they will get, since I want to veg for a few more weeks
