CFL Grow

I'm using CFL to keep this plant veg'ing prior to moving outdoor... Ill put it out June 1st or so... but in the mean time look at her go she is doing good. this plant is blueberry Kush as u can see I'm just using 2 cfls and when the sun is out she is sun bathing LOL!!! Iv only hit her with fert once and 20.30.20 but getting some 5.1.1 tomorrow... other then that check the pic's.

o'ya one lite is 2700k and that other is 3500k 23 watt you can see the other in the pic's above...

2700k is for flowering....you need daylight bulbs for veg. also get them girls cloer to the light...flip over the containers you have the sitting in.

I would lose the mirror heard bad things about using them no positives

...my advice is to lose the 3500K because it's near usless and replace it with 5000k+ (prefer 65000K)...

Unless you are trying to get your plants to go into flower at this early stage lose the CFL's. Go to the store and buy 6500k bright white CFL bulbs.
If you are trying to get the plant to go into flower then lose the 3500k and keep only 2700k bulbs on them.

Mirror = bad

I guess I sould of mentioned I was only doing this to give them some extra light at night before they where permanently planted out door. but I do want to do this all cfl one day and I take your advice to heart and will upgrade my lights when I do a cfl grow

It looks as though they stretched considerably during the early stages of growth. In my opinion, that is due to insufficient light and bulb proximity to the top of the plant(s). I echo the advice of other growers here: get higher spectrum bulbs (and more of them), lose the mirror and tin foil, and get fans to blow air across the stems of the plants. You'll need to strengthen those stretched-out stems before planting them outside.

Good luck.
