Hows it lookin? been having some problems. finally have pictures.

Its been about 6 weeks ive gone through a couple set ups and i did this set up a couple days ago and they seem to be getting better. the temp stays around 80 working with fans to lower it humidity stays around 55. should they stay on 24 hours or move to 18/6 how long to flower? yeah ha but any tips or pointers for anything you see in the pictures, sorry my phone camera isn't the greatest but, it will be much appreciated. Thanks

Pictures arent showing
you can flower them after 1 month of veg.
but the longer they grow the more yield in the end.
plants will only start to flower on 12/12

no pictures? damn it....and yeah i got the 12/12 let me work on the pictures.

okay here ya go

2-3xs more light. I'm using 12 on one plant

you cant tell in the picture but they are hanging on a shop light also but i need more cfls?

Ahh well the shop light is too far away. use the shop light on top and the CFLs for side light and see if they stop streaching and green up a bit.

What is the color temp of the shop light?

not sure its a 4' 32w shoplight you say put them on the side? they are on the side for the most part, i can raise the plants up some so the tops closer and the cfls are more towards the bottom/underneath of the plant

I know people use the shop lights for prop and veg, but I don't know what you have there and if it is doing any good.

But moving the plants up into the light is exactly what i would do.

yeah for the flowering ill probably just get some more clamp lights and i heard something about blue and red lights? know anything on that subject?

You want 6500k CFLs for Veg and 2700K for flower. (Blue and red are the color spectrum of the lights)

since you go lower do i need less lights or the same amount just lower kelvins?

Quantity of lights has nothing to do with color temp. you are confusing that with lumens. They are also know as warm white, cool white, day light. i forget which is which so if you feel you need that info you should do some shopping to be able to recognize on sight what you are buying. 1000 bulbs has all the technical specs. Read some more on here so you will know the difference between color temp and lumen's

okay thanks man


-edit-

i moved the lights down earlier today on the sides sure thats gonna help and raised the tops closer to the shoplight. temps still 79-80 wondering how long it takes to tell the sex of the plant. i know you cant tell what it is now probably but estimate how long until i should know?
