ts GQ's 200+ actual watts of CFL Sterilite bin grow

Here's an update of the clones in the sterilite bins, and also my newest addition...12/12 from seed Northern Lights Blue fem (Delicious Seeds). There is a total of 209 actual watts of CFLs...one 125w dual spectrum lotus cfl, and two 42w 6500k cfls. I have many more but this is kind of an experiment to see what I can get away with in watts. The two 6500ks will be switched with 2700k next week. The clones are showing pistils so am considering this their first week of flower. Everything is100% fed with a 1 part urea to 15 parts water and molasses mix. I use only rain water and oxygenated water. The NLB (Northern Light's Blue) seedling has been watered with only rainwater and recieved her first dose of ferts today. Again, she's 12/12 from seed, and at Day 6. I took some pics to show how I have the lights positioned...the lotus CFL is hanging the lowest, dropped in the middle with the plants carefully arranged around the bulb. I will use LST to keep the girls growing around the lotus while the outside blubs are suspended sightly above the tops.

nice. but, looks slightly over-water'ed. why not put more cfls?.

They might appear to be over watered because I gave them a good flush with H2O2 after finding gnats in the bin. However, the Dutch Passion Blueberry is almost always droopy due to genetics...droopy / clawed leaves shows in a common pheno with this strain.

As for not using more CFLs, I explained in the first post that I have more, but am curious as to what results I get with the setup. I might add more when I add a higher ratio of 2700k but they're fine with this for now.
