Alright guys, first off, thanks for stopping by. This is my 3rd grow, each one has gotten slightly bigger than the last but unfortunately every one before this has had to have been shut down way early. This time Ive got everything setup for the long run and then some. This is the first time Ive actually posted anything on riu but Ive been watching everyone for a while. Anyway, on to what everyone wants to see.
The equipment is as follows:
9 - 25w cfl. Mixed spectrums
1 - 68w cfl - flowering spec - from home depot for $15! http://www.homedepot.com/Electrical-Light-Bulbs-Compact-Tube-Fluorescents-Compact-Fluorescents/h_d1/N-5yc1vZ5yctlZbmat/R-100676712/h_d2/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053
2 - 3 gal. pots for the two plants I care a lot about.
9 - solo cups for the plants I dont care a lot about.... :bigjoint:

The plants are...
1 - Wonder Woman
1 - Road Runner
9 - Sour D bagseed from a bad batch of sour d. lol

I started this grow 10-5-10, that is, the 2 good seeds were planted that day. The 9 Sour Diesel seeds were plants 10-19-10. I set this box into flowering on halloween, so 10-31-10. The Road Runner, if you dont know, is an auto-flowering strain so it showed signs of being female the day I planted the sour D seeds.
I feel the grow was stunted by the lack of light when they were younger, and also a few hot days... but all is well and with nearly 300w of cfl power with plenty more to come, I should be ok and Im hoping this grow turns around, and quickly.
Ive only got a few pics right now and they are unfortunately taken with the phone on my camera, but I would say Ive seen much worse on riu. On to the pics!
1st pic: flowering section. 2nd pic: Road runner (front) Wonder woman (back)
3rd pic: 9 Sour d bagseed. 4th pic: Light setup 5th pic: Road runner close up
6th pic: Road runner close up #2 7th pic: Water and stuff underneath flowering section... dont mind the mess, this whole setup is newish and Im workin on it.
Last pic: Some blue dream I picked up today... mmmmmmm.
And yes, these were takin with my phone, even the closeups.

Hopefully, this was enough info to start everyone off and get everyone interested. I WILL be making daily updates, I just lost my job and have got nothin but time.... sad but true. This will be a good one to follow.
Oh and also, if anyone can see the burning on the leaves on the road runner, can someone tell me what might be up with that? Im using Schultz 10-15-10 now that Im in flowering. It says use 7 drops per quart of water every watering... Im using 7 drops per gal. of water and every other watering so I wasnt sure if it was nute burns or not.
Thanks for the help and enjoy everyone. Im goin to smoke a blunt.

Alright now that Ive got the pics done with. The people actually still reading, can you help me diagnose the problems Im having with the 2 plants I actually care about? haha....
As you can see, they both have similar symptoms, the crap on the leaves, now slightly red in the stems to the fan leaves... Im confused. I thought maybe it was (K) Potassium deficiency... Please help, Im determined not to lose these ladies.
Thanks for the help everyone. And as always, all comments are welcome, positive or negative.

bgsixxxniner - No, I let the bagseed grow veg for 19 days. Everything in the box is now in 12/12. Im in the process of finishing this cab to be all around mother, cloner, flower.
uahn - Thank you! The seeds came from the attitude seed bank. This is my 3rd experience with seeds, and I have to admit, actually buying seeds is incredible. The genetics of the plants are amazing. The seeds germ'd in under 12 hours and had a 1" taproot before I got home from work the next day about 20 hours after I put them in the dampness.
Thanks everyone, Im waitin for the lights to turn on right now and Im really hoping to see some pistils. I checked this morning at 8am, an hour before the lights turn off, and only 3 (the ones I marked with a ?) have tiny little preflowers, too small to tell at that time. Maybe tonight will show me a bunch of little ladies. :) I HOPE!
