Flowering Has Be Stalled :(

Hello there I am new obviously to growing. I am a little embarrassed to post my pictures up here but, better than nothing haha. They were growing really healthy up until the flowering stage. I know the setup isn't the best but it was working fine. They got about 1 week into flowering and just seem to have completely stopped. I am not sure what the problem is. I had to leave them with my roomate for about a week and not impressed with his job of taking care of them. I was worried they may have nute burns so flushing the soil with pure water for a few days. Also, I figure the soil may have been over watered so letting it dry out a little as well. But, as far as the reason for completely stopping growth in flowering I am not sure. Also, the leaves, which were really healthy until flowering have started to die off and become dry/dead, and limp and curling down. I have a few pictures below and can take more.

Thank you for the quick reply. Will do one flush and then let the soil dry out a little. Should the soil be pretty dry on the top? Yea i know the lights aren't amazing but, I mean they have been working and as long as i can get decent buds i am happy for my first time

As I said in your other thread...you need more light...you won't get "decent" buds with your setup...be lucky to get a few grams of airy non potent bud from your current setup ;)

Ok well if new lights is something i need then i may have to do that. I just had trouble finding somewhere to get good lights. I went to walmart, home hardware, and except for super big lights all i could find were these

gota do what ya gotta do. i feel ya man. i would suggest letting it get really dry after the flush. im talkin an almost bone dry like when your plants leaves START drooping from lack of water. you dont want to water too soon after flush, im guesing you wont need water for a week or more after flush.

what temps are you running and what soil type?

All of those stores carry at LEAST 100watt equivalent CFL's which is either 23 or 26watt real wattage...you need about 4 of them to grow out a couple foot high plant and get some OK results...probably about 1/2oz ish per plant dried/cured...more if you add reflectors, have good conditions, feed accordingly, etc :D

yea man for sure i mean i might as well try and get the best yield possible so i will try for the better lights. Should i start using nutes again once the soil goes dry or just stick with pure water? The temp is usually around 23 celcius and im honestly not sure of the soil type i bought it so long ago.

you can start nutes again after its dry. if the plant is not showing signs of burn you can. watch how much you add. go 1/4 strength or less thats just most MJ plants in general. plus the size of your plant and the weak lighting the plant doesnt need much for nutes..

Ok thanks for the help. I will look for different nutes as well.. maybe something more like 8-50-2? I am going to look into stores for lighting now

thats beter... something around 2-8-8 shud suffice. they have blossom boosters that are like 0-80-60 and higher! those are used last 2 wks usually. i wouldnt realy worry about that for now tho, just worry about the basic nutes you need to keep your girl happy!

How is your ventilation? Whats your temps?

Go get a power strip and go to home depot and look for the sockets you can plug into outlets and get 4 or 5 CFL's and plug them into the power strip........Make sure you have air exchange in the room and not just a fan in a closed closet you need to make sure your getting fresh air (co2) in and oxygen out........I am thinking your plant is in bad shape from poor ventilation, high temps and over watering. Doesnt look like any nutrient burn I have ever seen but I am pretty newb!

Look at this set up - https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/211939-power-strip-cfl-fixture.html
