What type of soil are you using? what's your current PH? are the bottom leaves yellow? or the top? if the bottom leaves are yellow, it's gonna be a nutrition problem. take a PH test, if you don't have one go to lowes or homedepot and by the tablets for accurate results, the tablets are like 8 bucks that way you can do a PH test - nitrogen - phosphorus - and potassium all at once. The test is real easy to do just add dirt to the test tube a lil water, shake and you will have your results.

cuz i havent gave them any yet
are the stems and veins yellow? if so add a tablespoon of Epsom salt per gallon of water till condition improves.. the plant might be lacking of protein do to the MG lack of soil nutrients. I would still recomend to check PH nitrogen and (P) before going off and buying the eptom. post a picture aswell so we can have a better idea.

heres the link for eptom salt, think you can buy it in any drug store http://www.amazon.com/Epsom-Salt-16-Oz/dp/B0011WFOSO

screw MG OC its pretty bad if you ask me..my friend was using it and he recently switched to a fox farm brand and he got as much MG off of the roots as he could and then transplanted. the results have been significantly better.

mg oc is all i got so i gota work with it ..and as for the vains there red on the lower leafs and leafs are drooping still!
then its a nitrogen problem... can't really tell without pic.. but all signs point to N if the lower leaves are yellow and drooping... you need to add nitrogen like a tablespoon per gallon and plant should be fine after a week.

Yeah that's what I said.. need to see pic to be sure. But I've used MG in the past.. I bought 2 bags of MG.... I used up both bags for 4 clones in five gallon pots and the other bag to fill in the rest of the garden.. flowers, lemon tree, apple tree etc... I remember using up a full bag of MG on 3 pots and got a lil left over from the other bag of MG for the 4th pot. Funny how the other 3 clones lacked of nutrients when I tested the soil.. while the 4th clone I used from the left over bag of MG was neutral on NPK ... I guess it's always a 50/50 chance MG will come legit organically.
 
well shit....im about to say fuck it haha and get new soil (ideas?) and i might be getting my hands on a 400watt hps what type of bulb is used for veg and where can i get one?

It all depends on what type of method of growing your going to partake... you can just get an HPS bulb for flowering and do a 12/12 cycle.. that way you will save on electrical bill and harvest alot quicker. But if your looking for a bigger yield then I would Veg with an MH bulb on a 18/6 cycle and then flower on a 12/12 cycle. You can purchase this items at a hydroponics retailer, and buy your soil there as well.. Also if your looking to save money on soil, go with FoxFarm Original Organic for only 14 bucks.. I use it and had great results with it.
