Nute difficency is not always a lack of nutes and adding more without knowing why often adds to the problem. I'll say your doing fine at the moment and what you see is a result of regrowth (from cutting/cloning) and will grow out of it in time. Go ahead and get your 20-20-20 and 10-30-20, go light with them and slowly increase over time. Do a good flush at some point and continue with the program.

You never siad how long the plant has been in the current container. I still think you should go 12/12 if that's all the lights your using.

For my Nutes I got:
Miracle Grow for Tomatoes 18-18-21
Miracle Grow Bloom Booster 15-30-15

Im hoping this will help with the red stem

Im thinking of getting the Ys but ive got enough light as it is right?

I got the plant at about a foot or so, ive had it for about 2 or 3 weeks now. Im not sure if its been replanted or if its been in this container the whole time

OK, so at least two or three weeks in the container. That's good. You didn't plant it in the container, that not so good. Do you know what soil was used?
As far as lights I don't flower with cfl's so I can't realy say. Looks like enough for now, but she'll grow out of it soon enough. Good luck ;)

UPDATE 2/22/11

I had a bit of a mold problem from 2/19 t0 2/21, but I cleaned every leaf with aq tip and warm water.

Also the leafs seem to be warping a lot, is this normal with the CFLs so close?

I backed off the CFLs from about 2" to about 4" or 5"

In the pictures one leaf look like I want / i think they should look and the other shows a warped leaf like most of them. I also included a picture of the whole plant :)







Thanks for the help

That powdery white mold is nothing to mess with. It will infect and kill your plants. Cut off the leaves that have it and kill the mold where you can. The spores will hang out forever waiting to spring to action. Get rid of the mold, then get more air moving and lower humidity. Are you over-watering the plant?

Id say about 75% of the leafs have the white mold but it comes then I clean the leafs and it goes away, then if there is ANY water left open in my room itll start the mold again, like for instance since ive cleaned the mold this time and theres very little mold to be found.
As for the Air movement I turned every fan up one notch to hopefully help.
I dont think im over watering, I replanted into that white pot that is bigger and bought an electric water meter. The only thing is it confuses me. I watered the plant on 2/19 then replanted it 2/21 then tested the soil water level at the metal rod 50% in it read about a 7.5 with the rod 100% in it read 9.5. So idk when to water it... if anyone know anything about water meters or know an article about them that would REALLY HELP :)

My second plant is much darker than my big plant but ive been watering then both about the same time

don't water till it's light. Lift it up, if it feels light then water. don't use the meter. also, oscillating fans work better.

If you must use the meter then test the bottom of the container push teh meter as far as you can.

UPDATE

I went ahead and cut off all the infected leafs, there were a lot.
The second plant I planted outside in the back yard maybe ill survive it but I dont want it infecting the big plant.
There are now 14 CFLs on it.
Here are some pictures

UPDATE 3/4/11

I got a container of Green Care Fungicide, I used it on 3/3 and it seems to have done a great job getting rid of the mold and cleaning the leafs.
Now I also have 16 CFLs on it.

I have noticed if I back off the lights to about 6" away instead of 2" - 3" the leafs will not droop, also if I put it in sun light the leafs dont droop.

I water about once a week now, its gotten much greener.

She's looking happier. :) The lights might be a bit hot so close. And you might want to be careful bringing her outside and then back in. You don't want to bring in tons of critters with her.
Hopfuly you've beat the white mold. It may come back that sh!t is hard to deal with. And be careful using the fungicide that stuff is bad for you. Use mask and don't get it on your self. I wouldn't use it in flower either.
If the mold comes back durring flower, I'd start over after cleaning the roon very well.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

How far from plant are those day time CFLs? You can lower them without hurting the plant as they are not hot at all. I have seen when they even touch the leaves without burning them. It will double lumens! Those lights will be not enough for budding. I suggest You plan on buying more watt CFL or HPS light.

You have sixteen 27W CFLs and two 32W tubes for a grand total of 494W? Time to upgrade to MH and HPS if at all possible. In the 2.5 weeks since your first post, that plant would have almost doubled in size under a 400W HID lamp.

Do I need a Special lamp? Or can they just plug into my sockets?
I also have that lamp from the first post that had a "useless" bulb in it.

Thanks

I was keeping them at 2" - 3" but the leafs seemed to be growing weird so I backed them off to about 6" yesterday and the leafs are looking much better and are not hanging
