Well I can't say for sure they're pistils but they look nothing like the undergrowth. 24/0 lighting has been working like a charm though.

Thanks! I am running 3 26w 6500k cfls and one 24" 17w 2700k tube for side growth. Have it mounted horizontal on the weak side of the plants and change location every other day . Did anyone look at that schedule on page 4 to see if that sounded ok?

as far as nutrients go up to this point I have used no nutes. What kind of nutes could I find at a big name store like Walmart seeing as i have no local grow shops?

Well you will need flowering nutes but you can probably get away without getting veg nutes. I don't know what walmart has but home depot and lowes both have nutes for sure. I think they have like schultz im not sure. It doesn't really matter so long as you get some with an npk ratio of 1-2-1 or 1-2-2. If you want veg nutes get one with a ratio of 2-1-1. Doesn't have to be the exact ratio.. there's shit like .14-.07-.05 which is basically the same thing.

Definatly switch most bulbs to 2700k but keep a small amount of 6500k for full spectrum. The more light you can get in, the happier you will be in the end

yea kinda what I thought. Wish it could stay the same as vegetation as they have done well with what I have. Do they look ready for flowering after a day or two
