You should think about making a light like I did...It uses CFL's as well and covers 4 points of light and sits over your plant(s) nicely...
If you have a bunch of 60w CFLS on there isnt that kinda pushing it? Most sockets I have are made for 60-100 watts. I know they can go higher but how safe is it really?

Man dawg those bitches are looking BEAUTIFUL! Have you modified your lights in any way? You talked earlier about a HPS light for flowering. Those pic's are great man keep it up and your bound to have some good smoke. bongsmilie

HAHA thanks Doc!! Ill try and get some more pics up tonight. I havent got to switch over to a HPS yet. Ill prolly wait till this grow is done till I try and get one. Im likin the CFL's a lot though. You can get them so close and literally have a bulb on each bud site without burning its amazing. I have repositioned them a little.

Nice, Ive been checking yours its looking good. I have a Power Plant seed Im gonna grow after this one. Needed some practice on some bag seed before I threw in a good seed. Bad thing is I only have one seed of it!! Hopefully its a girl also.

Yes thats what it was called. I had it at one point and lost it :(. Heres some updated pics for everyone. I found something with some of the leaves can anyone help me what it may be? The leaves have small holes on them like they have been eaten through, then I found this little caterpillar looking thing on one of the leaves, dont know where or what the hell it really is? Also there are some random shots of my trimming I just did. Anyone know how much is too much trimming? Thanks again!

I haven't seen bug's like that since i lived out in the midwest..doesn't look too bad. As long as you don't allow it to go on too long it is recoverable.

24OZ Neem Oil

For Neem Oil. I don't think you can get it at walmart but i could be wrong.

I found this about your problem at... Marijuana

Cutworms, Caterpillars and Larvae
Insects that are in their early stages of development are problem pests because they are insatiable and will eat anything green that they can get their tiny mouths around.Their appetite is surreal when you actually discover how much a caterpillar can consume in a single day. One caterpillar can reduce an ounce cola to stem and stalk in less than four days. These pests pose a huge threat to your crop and must be stopped right away. Caterpillars especially like to eat young seedlings and new growth. They are also known to leave holes in leaf but other pests can do this too.

The only sure way to get rid of cutworms, caterpillar and larvae is to use a cutworm, caterpillar or larvae repellent. Usually the same product will affect all three pests. Cutworms can also be hand picked from your grow. At night they sleep in a XC' shape in the soil or under the cover of something else like a piece of wood.
