Here is an update on my plants. I think I am having nutrient issues (or lack thereof). Take a look, please some feedback.

Anyone using MG and nutes, I would really like your input as well.

Do you know what the PH of your water is? Kinda looks like a 'nute lock' because of PH issues.

i would move the CFLs close because they are really affective ~1 IN away

been a minute since i last updated but here it is....

started flowering on Sunday after 7 weeks vegging. i changed all the 6500k cfl's with 2700k cfl's. since i have a couple of tall onesm i left 2 6500k cfl's to light the bottom of the taller ones.

I have a confirmed Male so I got him outta there. the others either look female or no sex yet. showed sex very fast, 2 days into flowering.

right now, they range from 36" to 12" in height. lower leaves are dying off and some was due to my water situation and the rest is vegging and a small accident i had with them. I now only water them once a week with 32 oz of water. no nutes, i am a bit scared with this MG stuff. next grow i will go all foxfarm for sure.

as always, comments welcome and here are the pics.

yo! they look pretty OK, not perfect, but the plant only has to live to make buds, right, not be a lifelong friend...that's what future generations are 4, but healthy perfect plants will make more bud...tall plants, so I don't know if yield will be an issue for you. not sure about the nutes, but am growing in soil myself and lookin similar, but am using 400 MH with special bulb for meeting flowering needs, instead of CFLs, which I started with, and continue to veg next set of plants with. CFLs do not penetrate or travel large distances well, so your tall plants might really like some light - my 1 suggestion is find more light for them, even if it has to be the veg bulbs, they will find some use for it. good luck, buddy!

well one of my plants had a heart attack. One day she was fine and the nxt she was, well limp and deader than a doornail. I have no idea wtf happened, no temp issue, I did not water and poof it was over, I think. Here are the pics.

First picture was Friday (the plant on the right, small one) and the second Saturday.

I am also thinking I have hermies but trying to figure out if it is a Male or Hermie. I do not see seed sacks but I see these things that look like more flowers (if that makes any sense) coming out. My tallest one 36" looks like a girl though.

Are these males, hermies or what? I am guessing they are males.

I posted earlier one of my potential girls had a heart attack and then there are these two. The other three have nothing like these "things" on them, they are jsut growing tall and have white hairs growing where these "balls" are growing.

Those def look like males. As for the one that went limp. Looked like it was very thirsty. Next time you have a plant look like that, check to make sure its not dry. If so give it some water and you may be surprised at how it recovers. And using mg with nutes is ok. Just remember every time you water with mg you are releasing some food. If you want to use nutes just start them at 1/4 of what is recommended and watch and work them up from there.

I think one of the three left is a hermie...

here are my girls

Here they are growing strong...

One is almost 4' and the other is 2'

here are some more

she is 2 feet tall...

I think this one is going to be the best one. Has alot of buds and alot of those crystally things on the leaves. they are not turning brown / red yet, maybe another three weeks of flowering i guess

she is 4 feet tall, the pics are allitle harder to see.

her buds are bigger but the leaves are thinner and have less crystals on them but they look really nice. the pics do not do them justice.

Check them out. I think I am still a couple of weeks away though.

Like a stupid ass, I do not remember which was the AK48 and the G13 Power Skunk. I think they are one of each because of the very big size difference and the bud difference.

Comments please....

lookin good man, looks like your almost there

not sure if i missed this when i was reading through again, but how many and what is the watts of the cfls your using??
im about to bring my girl into flower with some (4 - 42 watt) cfls, so just tyring to get an idea...

my CFL's are 27 watts if I remember correctly. I have 12 of them in total. Started with six plants and got three male, one I paniced and let it die and two girls you see here. One is a power skunk, I think the shorter one and a AK48 which is about 50" tall now. All growing in Mirae Grow watering once a week with spring water 32oz each time. Sometimes I give them more but they look and smell nice.

I just have to figure out the next step so reading up on that.

Gotta thank those for the reps, appreciate it. Wanted to give you guys (and gals) another update. Here are the ladies at 7 weeks come Sunday. I think I am going to harvest them in about a week and give them a full 8 weeks of flowering (on top of 8 weeks on veg).

Here they go. As always comments welcome!!!

PS the last picture is interesting, it shows two buds one from the AK48 and the other from the G13 Power Skunk. Like an a$$hole, I do not know which is which. My guess is that the one on the left is the AK48 because it is much taller (50" tall) and I think I read that the G13 Power Skunk is a short strain (26" tall)
