Thanks GB.... :-) ....... i'm pleased with this week ....... less then 5 more to go! (thats if cfl can finish them in 60 days) .... to be honest i see more change in them after the light comes back on, its almost like they don't transfer all the energy they absorb until they have rested .... the days growth is made more obvious if that makes any sense?

Ya i think it's more just you noticing a bigger difference because you have checked them in 12+ hours. It could also be that they're stretching for the light that's not there... idk maybe some more experienced grower has the answer.

i definitely notice more growth in the morning though

right.... forgot you were doing an autoflower haha. Then in that case, that IS CRAZY. I'd definitely say they need their rest then!

Every morning when I wake up and go check on my little lady, you can see significate growth each day. I have mine on 20/4 cycle and when lights are off some of the bigger leaves will get droopy, but when lights come back on they perk right back up after and hour or so. Anyways she looks great man, and like anotherday said I think your gonna get a great cola bro. Keep it up!!!

thats mainly why i got a few different strains (that and i heard Nirvana N-lights were shit after i had paid for them..... not entirly true :-) ) .... the Skunk was an impulse buy.... feeling a another impulse buy coming on too LOL

would love to produce my own seeds (even ifs nothing special like strain crossing) ... but i'll wait until i've moved and got my flowering tent setup, then i can reuse this cabinet for veg/ plant shaggin

I've just been offered a 400w HPS...

Not sure lol

Do I still go with my 650w CFL (dual 65w) or swap over for the extra heat of the super hot HPS bulb :S (or is it HiD? I don't actually know the difference. It's a big long bulb and it's fuckin bright!!)

doooo eeeeeet.
especially now that it's cold out. if you need to, you can always switch back to your cfl's when the weather gets warmer. it's way easier to fiddle with excessive heat management in the winter.

hps (high pressure sodium) is a type of hid (high intensity discharge) lamp. mh (metal halide) is another type of hid that growers are familiar with.

did i mention dooo eeeeeet?
