Hey guys,
started this little growing project for the first time on August 22nd with germinating the seeds, they sprouted on August 24th and planted the two seeds that hatched..I am running what i had around the house 1 x 100w metal halide bulb and 8 x T8 with 4x of the bulbs being cool and 4x of the bulbs neutral. I have a fan blowing on them and have a intake and exit fan running too...humidity about 55% and temp during the day at 82f and at night 73f...plants are lit 24 hours per day. So i guess lets get to my questions..Im on day 17 and i dont know what happening to the plants leaves..they look like some of the leaves are drying out or getting yellow ends the soil ph is coming back at 6.9 or 7 on the alkyline side, soil has good moister water it about .5 liter every two days each plant, started bio grow fertilizer last week at about 5ml per 1 liter at every feeding ..which is every other day...this fertilizer is not that strong and can be given at each watering...well thats what the tag says anyway..So any insight aas to the current status of the plant..is dying, is it over fertilized..? over water, under water..? any guidance here would be great...also any advice on how to get to harvesting these bc kush plants would be greatly appreciated...i have noticed that the plant is growing left to right more then vertically up..im sure thats to the week 100w bulb on top, im sure that a 300 or 400w bulb would really make it grow...but any input would be great

almost forgot the left one is about 5 inches high and the right one is about 1 inch shorter, i also have rubbed some of the leaves between my fingers just getting out of the smell it leaves behind...Would that make some of the leaves look dried out like in the picture?

you can switch to 12/12 anytime you want. the longer you wait, the more bud you will produce up to a point. eventually the plant will signal its ready to bud naturally if you wait for the nodes to have alternating leaves instead of paired.
