Thank you for the encouragement and I guess since I see them daily that I don't notice the growth as much that makes sense hopefully your right

Np ice they it's going to grow if do things right it's really going to grow lots of light, air movement, proper ph water, then they really grow it is a weed after all it will try you help where you can then the weed really shows up in its growth soon you will be moving your lights up everyday to keep the tops from burning

Hey Ice, your babies are looking VERY healthy.:gthumb:

RP, is correct in that there is much more happening below the surface with the root structure developing.

Just wait, all of the sudden the growth on top will really start to take off.

Hey!!
If you want to see slow, check out my grow. I never thought my critical x cheese was gonna make it, but slowly she came along and now, although small, she looks pretty good.
So hang in there! Peace and happy growing.

Okay thanks guys for putting my mind at ease a little. Okay so I got over to my buddies house he's gonna let my borrow his ballast for my 400w hps/MH setup that I have till I get new one for myself. Anyways I wanted to ask when should I switch and should I go right to hps or should I use the my mh bulb first also it's dimmable so should I run at 50% for a little, thought I would throw it up to everyone see what they have been successful with... Right now they still under the old t12s (2 bulbs 1900 lum each 3100k)

Ice I have in my past grows let them get two sets of leaves working on there third before I bathed them in the 400 mh ( didn't want to fry them) but they took right to it start off high and let them grow to the light to start(400mh is hot). Then once they have a few sets of leaves and are going good I use the soft of hand or wrist to gauge heat at plant tops and adjust accordingly

Okay I'll remember to use that but I think I'm gonna set it up over the weekend or something with mh at 50% for a little then step it up. I defiantly want to have it done by Sunday cause that will be day 14 so I think she will be ready for something stronger then what she is under now.
