Quick photo update for you guys. Still a sorry state of affairs but a vast improvement on the last batch of photos i posted. Trimming in these pics is poor and has been touched up since.

Yellowish tint on Marys top leaves which is worrying:

The stem on Mary is really bulking out!

Toolage: Cheers mate, im still a bit worried but they do seem to be doing better. This morning Mary's leaves are turning really yellow and dry again 
I dunno what to do. What ever this is obviously isnt out of their system yet.
Alto: Thanks, im glad as well just hope everything goes back to normal asap. As far as schedule is concerned im not sure yet i'll see how these girls go. Im thinking perhaps i'll switch them to 12/12 when they get to a certain height rather than just setting a date.

I am certain it will get back to normal soon
You may try flushing to be sure and get rid of nutes that could have been caught up in rockwool? not sure...
Eventually they will use up any extras if thats the case, and you should be able to get back to regular feedings.
I would look under the photos posted in the Grow FAQ HERE
from what I can see the yellowing is not a nute "burn" (or not as it shows there) but more likely a nute deficiency that may have been caused by certain nutrients being "locked up"
Its a complicated thing to me, but undoubtedly something to consider being I see it mentioned a lot. With a thorough cleansing of the grow medium (flush) and a return to normal feeding it should go away from what I have read. That would be something you would have to determine being photos only can show so much.
Thats my plan. I see flowering times based on plant height or number of nodes in seed descriptions at breeder sites, and they (if anyone) should know. Right?
If I have at least 5 nodes I will flower them at 12" expecting at least 24"-36" at maturity (height could become an issue for me should they reach Toolage height lol) Your images seem to look like you have the 5th node sprouting now so it isn't un-reasonable to think about doing it soon if you are in a hurry....

Oh really? i'll have a look in the grow FAQ then cheers mate. I was pretty confident about 5 days ago and now i feel like its all over my head lol. What i should have done is prepped some PH'd water for when i was transplanting then flush the rockwool cubes when i had them in hand without the soil. That should have solved any of these problems straight away... I'll try a flush if i move the gravel you can see the top of the rock wool as i didnt covered it in soil so i gues thats a plus in some respect. Wont over watering do them damage as well though?
Yeah good observation, when i first started growing i just worked everything out by x amount of days, but strains differ so much as well as set backs (like mine lol) So the only real way to know when theyre ready should be distinguished by size and maturity of the plants itself surely.
I was going to put them into flower on the 8th of May. So thats 18/19 days away, by then i assumed they would have grown sufficiently as there was a noticeable difference day by day. But now i cant seem to notice any difference mainly because im focusing on the yellowing etc. I'll post some pics soon to show you how bad its gotten over night again.
Cheers for all your input and help again Alto!

hey tgp,
i'm not to sure if you're going to see your previous leaves get better. This damage is basically done. Just focus on your new growth and you'lll see it getting better!!
edit: in a few days start off using 1/4 strength nutes, you're about ready to start introducing nitrogen to the plant.

Photo update: The yellowing may not be that obvious due to the lighting but you should get a clear idea that its getting worse. The upmost set of leaves on Mary is beginning to yellow as well.... Going to do a monster flush primarily on the rockwool and hope for the best.

Jane:
edit: Toolage, alright mate thanks will do. Just a waiting game now lol. I've become so attached to these girls its crazy lol.
This whole things as set me back a bit i was supposed to be spending this weekend blacking out my grow area as theres loads of gaps for light to get in/out. Dont wanan fuck them up in flowering.

From what I'm seeing imo the yellowing looks more like the heat stress shown in the grow FAQs. I could be totally wrong, but I'm just saying.... Did you ever move that light up?
I just transplanted all of my babies from plastic cups to tera-cotta pots and I'm stressing out over them too, but it was too easy to over water them accidentally in those damn cups and I figured they needed the drainage.

Yeah i moved the light away now, its 2ft + now instead of just one, and the heat difference around the plants is phenomenal. Just flushed both plants with PH'd water to hopefully void any nutelock and see how the next few days go.
Was planning on attempting Fimming this week or so but i dont think the extra stress will do them any good now.

Sounds good, I think they'll be fine now. btw, I really liked your transplant photos. I couldn't figure out how to work the the camera and play in dirt at the same time or I would've done some too.
Keep the faith and good luck!

Ha yeah it was a bit fiddly just had to wash one hand from mud dry then grab the camera with my spare hand. Cheers for the interest, when i get a chance i'll be checking your grow out.
Peace

Opinions needed
Right having looked at Mary's upper leaves again the drying out/ yellowness is spreading further. Would it be worth cutting these leaves back like the ones below to put most her effort into new growth? This will also provide more light to her new node formations and newest leaves? Or am i being fussy? I just want to get this back on track asap.

,have you given them vegging nutes yet??....maybe thier turning yellow because you flushed them extreamly good and now they may need nutes...just a thought

sure man....be patient and just remember..your in a win-win situation,no matter what happens your either going to get buds learn a whole bunch,or learn a whole bunch and your next grow will be even better....i'd rather the get budz and learn a whole bunch option,im sure you do to
...i will be keeping up with this grow to help as much as possible
