I'm gonna post pics every couple weeks on my plants. I have one big grape ape that was a clone and six other clones growing. I have 10 seeds growing also. They are all under a range of 23-45 watt CFL's. This is my second time attempting to grow. I am planning on growing them until June and then putting them outside for the rest of the summer.:leaf::leaf::leaf::leaf:

I'm looking for as much advice as possible and if you check my grow ill check yours! :-P:weed:

Hmmm. I suppose that will work since your just starting them inside, but it still seems to me that you would be better off getting a single 400 or 600w HID that would cover pretty much all of them, and that would get them to grow to a larger size and develop a better root mass before you transplant. Or even a couple of the four foot T5/T8 set ups you can pick up at wally world for about $25.

Thanks man its gonna be easy, just get soil and the big heavy duty trash bags that are HUGE and then if they get over like 10 feet in diameter i can still put em in the ground and cut the trash bag off. But thanks for the comments ill post new pics every couple weeks, or sooner.... And i am stealth growing all my plants as you can see so a huge increase of the light bill isn't what i need, thats why i didnt get a HID light and becasue im only doing them inside for a couple months so its okay if they go outside at a couple feet when they will have all summer.

Cool well I wil post some more pics that are actually a few days old , I actually jute burned one seedling because I was giving it the wrong water, I'm giving all the seeds and tiny clones regular water, and then the mature clines and the big grape ape plant are gettin some plant food nutrience in with theiir water .,, also my temps weren't getting higher than 75 but today they were at 84 and my plants deffinately wilted a bit but I fixed the problem and now their back to healthy growing, still a little small for their age but I'm countin on most of their mass coming in when they go outside since their gonna be out from June 1 to approximately October 1??

You can't sex anything untill the lights go 12 on 12 off. I would say the lights being on 24 hours is fine but if you want 18/6 is fine too.

June 1st for most parts of the US that way your plants has a few more weeks of the daylight hours going up steadily and the rain is usually over by then. Also when just keeping a plant in veg it will be 3 week minimun before you can tell sex and thats under HID... CFL's might be a bit longer
