All the views, no comments because it sounds like everything is good. I assume your humidity levels are good as well? 90 degrees is not good either by the way. You'd ultimately like to be around 77-80 all the time, but mid 80's aren't too bad, some plants can thrive in it, in fact. But once you get over 90-92 degrees you start risking stunted growth. For the most part though, your grow seems to be doing well, just be patient and keep doing what you're doing, they look good.

Man you have like 6 weeks or more left probably gotta get a 60x-100x microscope and check trics but like i said you have a grip to go so those nugs will get up to 4 times as big also most plants swell in the last two weeks so you will be surprised about what you pull off that plant:-) Keep up the job work buddy!

Ok i might have been off on yield slightly the colas looked larger in the other pics. You'll still be happily surprised tho i think:-) Whats the nutrients again and soil? Also do you ph your water are you use straight tap or filtered water? That curling of the leaf tips could be from heat or a nute lockout whenever i get claw i flush and then add a light feed mix at the end of the flush to make sure it doesn't get any deficiency in the next few days till next feed. I do a light flush every couple feedings to keep ph balanced in soil and to flush out salt build up. When you get a chance post a pic up of your lights maybe a standing back pic of your grow so we can see everything. Looks good tho brother is this your first grow?

"i have 1 6400k 200w 1 38w 5400k and a 48w 3000k "

Shouldnt you have the larger powered 200w bulb in the flowering spectrum range (2700-300k)?

yea you should start adding more 2700K i wait till about this time to switch more over to red spectrum helps keep node spacing tight throughout bud and is important when space is an issue also when trying to get as much off a plant as possible with only CFL they lack the penetration and throw less light so where you could have a hps a foot above you need the cfl only a few inches. If you go to the store and get 2700k and Y socket adapters you could take out the 5000K and add two 2700k would be like ten bucks just get 23-26 watt 2700K that will give you like 3200 more lums of flowering light. I like smaller bulbs so you can cover the plant better and are easier to keep cool. Then every week or every few days until you can fit anymore buy a work clamp light they are like 10 bucks Y socket adapter like 2 bucks and then a pack of two 2700k like maybe 10 so a total of around 20 each week till you harvest. Then you will have a bunch more sockets and adapters for next go around also you could get outlet to socket adapters and surge protectors for next time and use the sockets to run say 42 watters but i think they are only 2800 lum so you get more light with two 23 watt ratted at 1600 each. Surge protector then outlet to socket the Y socket adapter giant zip ties through thr v in the adapters then simply hang or install on a borad but they work great. Or if you want to do a bigger space get a bthroom vanity light like a 8 bulb so you could use Y adaoters and run 16 23-26 watt bulb run that shit over the top would give you even light over the canopy then you could use the 200 to blast the sides just rotate the plant ever day or two.

Looks awesome man! You still got some time to wait but should have decent yields. If I could make any suggestion it would be get rid of the 5400k and 3000k bulbs and use some 2700k instead. In fact the majority of your light should be 2700k. I use 250 to 300 cfl watts of 2700k and 50 to 100 cfl watts of 6500k.

I guess I should have looked at your pics before commenting haha but id also say you should get more side lighting.

i was going to add more 2700k smaller ones but i thought that the 200w would be better alot of light coming out of it as soon as i switch it off and leave others on + even adding a few cfl's seems like theres alot less light yeah i know i need more side lighting but its to crazy im useing 300w's it also sucks dick majorly that i cannot find a hardware store near me that sells Y adapters im using Coco for growing medium and A&B Coco nutrients and Proganics bloom A&B witch is a organic 1 part should i ditch the big cfl and go small crazy i was just trying to max out the light output lol also PH 5.5 6.0 ec with grow was 2.0 and ec with bloom instructs 2.2 - 2.3 thanks alot for comments
