there up and running but not quite as high up as you would expect
    #7593743 - 11/04/07 08:26 AM (16 years, 2 months ago)

Well, they stated pinning and i thought to myself thats all i would need to ask for is them to start pinning and i would not ask anything again... well, first thing before i ask again is that these are some big mushies... there is one right now that is about if not igger the whole size of my thumb and that was the first pin out of three casings... i have my cool mist running 24/7 for fae and i have the two zippers unzipped for vents... i also have my ultra sonic humidifier running to keep humidity 85-100% humidity... and i have a 60 watt light 12/12 cycle.. temps are 66 degrees now but should hit 70 soon as the light is now on. yesterday the whole day the temp was 75 degreesx.... but anyways for the question... i am using cambodian strain.. just incase you need to know.. but it seems like there having a hard time going upwards??? there small and fat as hell but not gaining height like my previous grows have... before my last grow from like a year or two ago in the morning they were couple inches by the end of the night i noticed big difference... is it too much humidity? low temps? better light:? any help would be great thanks

A 60 watt light bulb is probably the worst possible choice. Incandescent bulbs burn with a red color at about 3,000K. You want at a minimum to use cool white fluorescent with a color temp of 5,000 Kelvin, but a daylight fluorescent lamp at 6,500 Kelvin is better yet. Get a 15 watt, 6,500K compact fluorescent, and you'll be miles ahead and only use 1/4 as much electricity.

The compact fluerescent definatly works, i seem to be getting taller shrooms since switching from a normal bulb to a fluerescent one. Mine gives of a cool blue tint and is not very good for lighting rooms.

So it went to good use, plus you will probably never have to replace it, well not for a good year or so.

Any cfl would be better than an incandescent light bulb.
