You've got awhile. 2-3 weeks? Get a 40x loupe and watch the trichomes. Look for all milky, maybe a little amber.

What lighting are you using? (watts drawn and square feet covered too, if you know). Seems they could dense more and wondering if light is an issue?

I have a 10 sq.ft. enclosure with 2 150 watts hps lights above and 6 32 watts cfl on the sides. this is my 1st time indoor grow. I'm doing 12/12 I have been watering only when the soil is dry about every other day with floraliscious in the water. Should I start using distilled water only? Are the Trichomes the small little things that look like water droplet on the leaves? Where can I get the 40x? Thanks guys yall are the greatest yall make this hobby really cool.

I think u should work into trying to fix your deficiencies first, then lower the amount of nitrogen, looks too dark green, overall is not bad., what week of flower u are 5-6? Also u need to work into try to not overfeeding, i see a lot of burning tips of leaves, back up in the nuts strength, use some calmag., if u are in a budget get epson salt at WalMart, maybe get egg shells and put them in a blender with water for calcium, i assume that u using bloom nutrients and not vegetation or grow nuts, try to cut nitrogen to the minimum she got plenty for now, if u want u can do a flush with 3x amount of soil with plain water., example if u growing in 5 gallon pot use 14 gallons of room temperature water and in the last gallon feed at 1/2 strength and in that gallon add 1 spoon of epson salt and your crushed to dust egg shells and leave alone until soil dries, like the first 3 inches o soil use ur finger to evaluate that, and after it dries water with half a gallon of water with a teaspoon of Epson salt, and crushed egg shells, or calmag and discard the epson and egg shells, also u can buy unsulfured molasses and add 1 teaspoon in ur waterings. Keep good rt, and rh. Also get some ventilation, do u know ur runoffs PPM's or ph of soil? What kind of wattage u working with? Spectrums? All this is crucial in your grow. Best of luck!!

Dont use distilled water, use better RO or tap water, dont use floraliscious in every watering, alternate with plain water and micros

When did you flip to 12/12? I think you should be feeding. And, feeding water only... I don't think you need to do that unless you've been overfeeding. (That's a religious topic. All you can do is try feeding to the end, water only, flushes, etc. Try it all and see if you notice a difference. I use organic'ish nutrients and I don't do anything except maybe half-strength the last feeding or two.).

The watts you're using for your space sound reasonable, especially if the CFLs are in reflectors.

I just googled for 40x loupe and found this one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007GJJRZC

I have one of those. There are a few different scopes. I like the SuperEyes B005 (USB 200x microscope). It's about $30.

I have one of those. The image is nice. But, it's frustrating to use because the image is reversed. (If I want to look up, I have to look down. Sometimes I feel tortured doing that. It's frustrating.).

Something I like is this Harbor Freight 16.5x Jewler's Loupe which clips on your glasses. It's 3.3x and 5x. If you swing both lenses in front of your glasses, it's 16.5x.

If you buy a cheap pair of reading glasses (3.00 to 4.00 strength) that turns it into about 40x.

I like that because it has a much wider field of view. And, the way the strength can be changed so easily (reading glasses alone, or multiplied by either or both of the lenses) is flexible.

Id say 2-3 weeks like stated above. And yes, you're definitely adding enough nitrogen judging from the clawing and burnt tips. Ya may want to leach the soil if you havent done it in a while or ever and resume feeding with a low nitrogen and higher potassium and phosphorus fertilizer.

Hi guys and thanks alot for all the input and advise. I think I messed up. I had to leave for a while and when I returned home. I found my girls all wilted, leaves drooping hang down turn yellow and some fan leaves falling off. Soil was bone dry. I watered them but don't know if it will help. Did I murder my girls? I might get arrested for child abuse :cry::wall:. Any help or suggestion. Tanks again everyone

Theyve probably already bounced back. If they were as bad as you made them out to be, some of the leaves will die in spots and maybe some lower branches. Check your plants twice a day morning and night always.
