    How do they look?

    U mean 4 weeks into flowering? that 6th pic, looks like somethin happened there somehow cuz it looks as though the plant was somewhat nice and bushy, possibly till flowering, then began stretching. Did u use less of the fluros or somethin? Remember, the more light the better! If ur usin fluros...

    for ur lighting situation it depends- How big's the tent u plan to use andhow many plants? If it's more than 3x3 and it's more like 4x4 then ya u'll want the 600w setup. The hps's are expensive, I thoght they were rediculous when I started, but believe me, they more than pay for themselves in...

    LOL... 'until u get to the veg stage?' ..... LOok man, if u and ur buddy really wanna grow somethin worth smokin, we all gotta work together here, word? First of all, JUST SAY NO TO FOIL!!!- Foil can create hotpspots which in turn can burn ur plants. It is for baked potatoes not grow rooms...

    iS THE CFL 75 'ACTUAL WATTS?' Or is it a 75 watt 'replacement? ..... Regardless, u want the light(s) as close as possible without burning ur plant. I'd scrap the one that fell over, it's already too weak, and start over. Be sure u have 6500k cfl's for vegging, and keep a fan lightly blowing on...

    Plant dying as we speak, PICS anything helps!!

    Exactly what i was thinkin GF. Without an airstone, the submerged roots will drown indefinately. U must get an air stone fast!

    help and ideas

    I'd definately go with the hps over the fluros anytime. Fluros work great for veggin, but come time for flowering, nothin beats an hps. Keep in mind, that a 400 watter will only effectively light a 3x3area. Also, look into an air cooled hood, they're like $38 extra from htg, and of corse u gotta...

    Pistil help!!!

    Totally normal for a plant to show sex at this time even though it's on a 24/7 light schedule. Like dogglet was sayin, those are preflowers, and give away the plants sex without having to force them into flowering. They'll usually show between 4-7 weeks into vegging.

    Sprouts

    Ya know at first I was like woah! 10days and juice em huh? But at 1/8 strength u'd probly be alright. Myself, I give no nutes till the 3-4 WEEK mark. And if ur nutes say only use em once a month, what are they by the way? .... but given the 'once a month' reccommendations u speak of, I wouldn't...

    How long should the tap root be?

    Keep in mind, 'moist' not 'wet.' I use a spray bottle to moisten the top as needed.
