I'm using a 400 watt mh on the 2 plants about 20-24 inches away. I also had the clones in the same room but moved them to a small cabinet with 4 23watt cfl's no they Are not flowering yet I still keep on a 18/6 light cycle

The yellowing leaves look like mine did and I had bugs eating the crap out of my plants.Look closely on the underside of the leaves and them make your determination of the problem.Could also be a lack of nutes or too much...lol

Should I start flowering now on my 2 plants? Oct 5 will be exactly 2 months. I'm hoping my clones take, I clipped them last Friday. How long will it take to get some roots?

P.S what is nute lock? And how do I know if this is what's affecting my plants?

nute lockout just means nutrient lockout ,it can happen for a number of reasons and if u dont get it quick your fkd ,after u few grows/years you will know when it happens.. nute lockout can happen from to much salts , or to much of a specific nutrient for example to much Pottasium can lock out calcium and once it starts u get other nutrient lock outs so it becomes to hard to tell what your problem was to begin with.

It doesn't sound like lockout or nute burn to me. If you have only fed once at 1/2 strength, try upping it a bit and giving them another shot of food. If it gets worse you know you are locking out. If it gets better you know you just need to up the feeds a bit. I also noticed you are using distilled water. Are you using cal-mag? If not you may want to consider some sort of calcium/magnesium supplement. MJ uses a lot of both of those (espcially in flowering) so supplementing them is a good idea, especially when using distilled or reverse osmosis water. Your plants actually look pretty healthy to me. Try not to do too much at once. Remember, sometimes less is more, especially when growing the herb. :weed:

BTW do you check pH when feeding or watering? If not you may want to consider doing it just to eliminate one more potential problem. Tiger Bloom has a really low pH and will more than likely need to be raised before giving it to your girls.:blsmoke:
