@miwa, ill have a read mate, i have read conflicting info about these lights, some say its ok to use for short times as it makes firmer and bigger buds, ill have a good read im still finding out what i can, thanks for the link.
james, their are many lighting schedules to try, back in the day everyone grew plants at 18-6, now it seems you can use what ever, some people use 24 hours constant light till they flip them to flower, some use 20-4, and others use gas lantern routine which is what im using now and im getting great results with the clones and i think the seedling is not starting to benefit from glr, it was growing slow but the last 2 days it has picked up so i think glr is working also for the seedling, glr is the scedule below
1, 12 hours of light
2, 5.5 hours of dark.
3, 1 hour of light,
4, 5.5 hours of dark,
what i think glr does is makes the plant think its starting to flower so it starts rapid growth to make sure its big enough to reproduce when it gets the pollen, but by giving it the hours worth of light during the 12 hours dark it stops it entering the flower stage, i thought it may stress my auto but it never and all seems well,
this heat issue is worth looking into, are the plants growing quicker because the compost is warmer making the roots warmer, im thinking if this is the case then the plants take up more liquid out the compost to keep cool, so this then takes in more nutrients and makes them grow quicker, i have found that temps above 85f make my plants grow like crazy, im unsure if its causing any harm so i try to keep it below 85f but when i have visitors or i go out the temp goes up as i have to wedge the door open to stop the dog getting in their, when im in i leave the door open and the temp stays just above 80, but i get a lot more growth when the temps are above 85f. im not sure if this is strain related or what, the only thing i can think of is the plants get hot so drink more liquid and take in more nutes which makes them grow, but what concerns me is that some growers end up with stressed plants with the edges of the leaves curling up, im not getting this with any of my plants and im growing several different strains, possibly it could be that if the humidity is high and the plants can cope with the extra heat, my humidity is around 55 to 60 so maybe this stops the plants getting stressed due to the heat, i dont plan on keeping the temps that high, i do my best to keep them around 80 to 85 at the very most, but when i have someone round and the door is shut then it is around the 90f mark and i open the door expecting to find stressed plants to only find that they have grown loads and even my auto packs on the buds when the temps go up that high, has anybody else noticed this.
another thing is that where these plants grow the temp does go above 30deg c which is around the 87f to 88f mark, so maybe strains that are from hotter climates will grow quicker at higher temps, thats the results i have seen myself with my plants, not 1 of them shows any signs of heat stress and all grow a lot quicker when the temps get to high, im not sure where 78f came from or who said its the best temp to use, maybe its just a guide and plants will grow outside this range, ill keep checking and see how it goes, i may do a whole 12 hours at 90 just to see what happens, maybe a couple of hours at 90 is ok for the plants, but 12 hours might stress them, so if i give it a try and the plants look stressed then i can lower the temps, but if the plants grow like crazy for the 12hours then i need to start asking questions as to why this is happening and why these plants grow better with the higher temps, maybe if the humidity was lower i would come into problems, but when its high then it might give the plants enough liquid to keep them stress free during high temps.
who knows, ill find out im sure, im just uploading some pics now so you can see what i got going on,
feel free to make any comments or ask questions and ill do my best to answer them,
remember to get your entries into the
contests, get your plants entered into the plants of the month contest and get some bud you have grown or purchased and enter that into the nug of the month contest, the prizes are truely amazing and well worth entering the contest, also get your nominations in for member of the month, the link is below in my signature,
Its nice stone and taste 2months cured. heres a pic of a branch that grew to abou 16g dry.. 
Glad to finally make your aquaintance.. No i do not have a journal on my last grow, i could start one but i am currently doing one on my latest girl, C99 x Panama Red. I only just found out her strain after days of going thru my baggy's and talking to my friend.. The journal is under the title " Northern lights x Widow-just over a week from seed to sprout" That was what i originally thought the seed was from before finding the bag im using atm, and i could only just make out the "...a Red " on the baggy but when i spoke to who got em from he was spewin cos this was one of his fave strains, and he kept no clones from last mother
Hope you like my journal thus far.. Here's a pic last week -
