This is a quick catch up to where im at.

this is at the end of third week

some of the leaves have discoloration and spottyness

any ideas on what their ailments could be would be appreciated
I started them and was using vf-11 plant food but quickly decided I do not want to use that so went and got foxfarm grow and bloom two part nutes
I think I was a little anxious and overwatered a bit at first...
Im hoping it is that combined with the cheap fert I used..
we shall see in a few days....
anyway im running 2 1000w hps and fitting a bunch in with my stairway to heaven I rigged up.

what are the opinions on when I should go to 12/12 ive been arguinng with my buddy he usually waits longer but through my reading in here it seems a lot of people start pretty early for smaller but quicker crops

this is my goofy stairway that barely cost anything whole room setup has cost about 700 so far thats with building my own carbon scrubber buying dehumidifier ect ect I have an air tiger and a serfin waves ozone generator for later in the game..shooot the foam and the killz paint cost a lot the pots were free used ones....ever scrub 200 pots with bleach water? I have.....I get my soil from a grow store...its all held up with milk crates and love! the extra pieces of foam are just to milk every bit of light i can off them, couldnt have done it without craigslist barters and sales woot!!!

Just out of curiosity, why do you stack them like that?

Wouldn't you use the space more efficiently by growing them on the same level?

i dont think so...this way they are all relatively the same distance from bulb
I have a 2 bulbs and 200 plants if they were all on a level surface I think I'd need more bulbs...plus more of the plant will see light instead of being blocked by its sister....easier reaching for watering etc etc
