Look it up little spots like that usually mean u got mites and yes it's very bad look up how to get rid of them. Look at both plants carefully if there is more but not too infested you take a wet sponge and wipe them down a few times if you are infested u want to look deeper on the best method I've never had them so I can't give you anymore than the sponge method it will work if it's low you may have to keep doing it every so often

Yeah i dont know, searched long and ahrd for any type of bug issue today and couldnt find anything. Its only the 3 lower fan leavs with the condition. Also just used our first aplication of bloom booster so could be side effects of that poss??

Hey looking great, 90 day veg isn't too much, i only wish i had the patience to veg that long. Anyways those spots don't look like mites to me, usually mites also leave a white excrement and you cant miss them. I have seen the same thing on my plants at the very beginning of flower. Since its on the lower leaves, you know its a mobile element. That only gives you four options; N, P, K, and MG, oh and Zn. To me it looks like a very mild Mg def. If u want get some epsom salt and foliar feed, but i feel confident if you just fertilized that it will go away on its own.

Thanks man....yeah just ckecked again def no bugs. Lower fan leaves fall off and die out later in flower anyway i think so im not to worried about it. Sativa showing more and more hairs. Still no hairs on the indica. :-( .

Like how you stick to your guns on your choice of lights! I researched and did the numbers and everyone was yelling at me that the lights I am using (same as you), are one size too small. However, I have 20 of them on my 8 girls that are in about 12'sq. So with 32,000 lumens, I reckon thats kinda good, right? BTW, the 20 lights cost me $10 thanks to PG&E! I am loving what I'm seeing so far in my grow, so unless the yield is just shit quality and quantity, I think we are all safe with the 23W CFL's.
Good grow, btw!

Damn those are healthy looking plants. Hotwater heater boxes work great for hiding the light in a pinch. Just sux pulling the box on and off. That way you can veg those clones in the same closet. Hell I guess I guy could flower a outdoor plant early that way. Hmmmm

Yeah im constintly looking at bulbs whatever store im in....the ebst abng for the buck so far is these four pack of 23 watt 1600 lumen a pop for like 8 bones. I got bout week befor i come into any kinda money....im planning on buying 2 100 W 2600 lumen a pop cfls....think they are 10 each. Remember i dont know if im goin to have two plants in there if this indica turns out to be not so femalsh then ill have all the lights for just my sativa....plus the clones but they are goin to be well under 90 days from clone to flower. I think im done buying the 23 watters now though....i do know i need to step it up right now i have just under 13,000 lumens and i want close to twenty. NOw that the heat issue has been concured im ready to gte more lights. JUST NEED MORE $$$$$$$ anyone want to donat???? haha

Just about end of week one of flower. The sativa coming along...showing more and more hairs. Ill have pics up at end of week two, nothing really to much to see now. The indica has been giving me some problems! First off still no sign of hairs....but i honestly dont think i see any sign of male either....if anything i see more signs of female then male...ill post some pics later. The real Issue is that the indica is very VERY droopy. Was in a pot prob way to small for it so i transplanted it this morning plus it was rootbound so that couldnt of been helping. Well see if the new pot helps her out. Shes so compact and bushy i would hate to loose her. CLones doin okay GUESS. Still green show some growth from top just hoping i got ROOTS! Throw some pics up later....

hairs hairs HAIRS!!!! Sativa doin great new bud spots everyday! Indica doing okay........ scared she might be half man half woman, not 100% yet. Def see hairs but see funny things that could be the beggining of teh flower....just not sure. Got a plan for the clones...they are 10 days old today, uprooted one of them yesterday to see where i was at and it had one lil root coming out side of it and this was one of the weaker plants so im inthused that they are doin work under that soil....anyway im goin to do one of two thigns depending on the plnats reaction. I just dont have the humidity or even the heat that the roots need in my current clone spot...sooooo im just putting them into the closet...for the humidity. I know theyd ont need this much light but they are at the bottem of the closet 24 inch or so from nearest cfl. So if they look like they are doing okay ill leave em in there at 12 12...see what happens. If they seem to be doing poor ill take out at dark periods and throw in old clone spot till the lights come on again. Well see what happens....trying to wait till mnday (two weeks flower) to throw pics up but maybe i will later. CLONE TIPS?
