I guess that's what you would call being in the spotlight. :)
That's a lot of light for one little lady, she's going to be spoiled rotten. Very nice light stands by the way.. Good work on those.

When it comes time to flowering I have 4-40w 2700k cfl's to replace the 4-23w 2700k bulbs in use now but I also have a 100w hps. I am wondering if I should replace my 125w 6500k with the hps for flowering that would give me a higher flowering spectrum. Right now it's about a 2/1 ratio 6500k/2700k for veg as per bontastics recommendation.
 
It is kind of hard to tell from this pic but I tied up the upper foliage to get better light penetration to new growth inside, how long should I keep her wrapped up like this. It seems like she's just growing taller without the stretch to the main stalk. The bottom of the canopy just seems to be staying where it is

Definitely use the hps. It's the right spectrum for flowering. You can use your 4 6500k and /or a mix of 2700k and 6500k cfls as side lighting.

When ponytailing your plant you could do it for 6-8 hours in a 18/6 schedule. I usually do it for my time at work and then retrain her after, it's about 6 hours every couple days. It definitely shows in secondary growth

Thanx snid when I got home from work she had "grown out" of her ponytail but could sure see the difference in her veg growth. Cooling the temp, moving the lights, and increasing the ventilation sure seemed to help. It's obsessive watching her grow like a "weed". Looking forward to see how the nutes help starting Sunday
 
Looks like she's about ready to take off!! Hold on to your knickers cuz she's going to explode with growth over the next week or two.

Keep up the ponytail training it will do wonders for her.

Looking great Lupey, KIG :green_heart:cheers
