I guess you want to keep them girls low , since u don't have a tall cab . MH is best suited for long vegging periods , u do not want to boost them in veg , cuz they'll get tall ... if you have a proper cooltube you should try the MH for a couple of weeks,altough the lights you have now are more then enough in my opinion ! Best of luck to you and take care

Most definitely. MH during veg will decrease internodal spacing and increase foliage growth. So you end up with more compact plants that have larger fan leaves - ready to suck up all that sweet sweet sodium light during flower and put it all into bud growth
Looking good MC,
Glad you got that cab fired back up. It's a thing of beauty and deserves to be populated with pretty little ladies.

Hey All...
Needless to say its getting a bit hectic in my cab! The switch over to HPS lighting worked very well for veg... I wanted to veg them out for at least a week but after only a couple days I flipped to 12/12 and these plants are happy!
I think I underestimated the spacing, and am waiting for them to show sex. I think Id be very happy with 6 of 8 ending up as woman so I can spread that foliage out a bit...
These plants are squat little beast with tight ass node spacings and my house already smells like sh*t! Time to pack some carbon in my scrubber and that should make things a little less stinky...
I was actually hoping for a bit more stretch but beggers cant be choosers.
See you in a few.

Thanks for support guys! i spotted my first MALE in the cab this morn...So far Ive got 4 FEMALE, 1 MALE. The male was the first seed to crack, to sprout, fastest growing, and thickest stemmed. Im thinking about isolating it and collecting some pollen for later.... I scooped up some very good local bloom ferts from a good friend and as soon as they dry up a little Ill hit'em with some food! Ill have some macro shots as soon as things get exciting. Right now its a bit to crowded and Im hoping to get 1 more male to clear some room. With (6) plants left I should be able to clear my 1/4 lb mark with room to spare.
