Thank you for taking the time in helping me out.
Let me apologize for the quality of my pictures. All I have is my cell phone camera.
To answer your questions, I am using Schultz 10-15-10 plant food with plus and I am feeding plants very small amounts (2 drops of the following) of Grandma Enggy's
Golden Honey F-1 and Grandma Enggy's Extra Pure H-2.
Amounts of water is 1 quart for all 4 plants, which gets water flowing out the bottoms of the pots. I give 7 drops of the Schultz per quart and 2 drops each of the Grandma Enggy's brand nutrients for vegetative period. I do this once a week.
Temps range from 75 or so during the day and 68 to 70 degrees at night. Humidity is about constant at about 40 to 41%. I am using Pro-Mix soil. I am using compact fluorescent bulbs(CFLs), which I have sent pictures of. The bulbs came in a range top set. It is a multi spectrum lighting system with 3 separate CFL bulbs. One is a 30k flowering light and one is a mid spectrum 41 k bulb, and the center bulb is a 5000 k CFL bulb.

OK thanks for the info, I think we can help now
first ProMix soil has no real nutes in it, does have Cal/Mag from the dolomite
and the Shultz is not a complete fert (only has 3 of the micronutes)
Not sure about the grandma stuff ?? Sorry but I'm not into the "secret formula" stuff
what you NEED with ProMix is a complete fert, I like DynaGro as it has everything a plant needs
Also I would not feed the shultz every watering and I would start the mend with a good flush then start feeding a complete food (or a mix that is complete) watch it for a few days looking for new healthy growth
Also when you water you need lots of runoff, I would also invite you to read my NooB Advice thread, (yeah it's long just read the 1st 40 pages)

thanks i appreciate the advice.
i just wanted to ask you real quick you spoke of beginning the mend with a good flushing how long should i wait before i feed next? and the dynagrow is a two part question can i get that just anywhere or where do i get that, and will that food need to change for flowering. if so what do you recommend?

it is totally explained in my thread but you will want to flush (with gallons) and then wait till the top 3 inches are dry before feeding
check DynaGro here
http://www.dyna-gro.com/
they have a complete line veg & bloom
I get it at a local nursery, check the dealers link for someone in your area

For where you are I would say Foliage 9-3-6
but also get some Bloom for when your ready to flower
Myself I use these along with Jack's Classic, but you'll see that if you read the thread
