I started with only a 75w 24" florescent light but I just added 2 cfls daylight spectrum 100w equivalent. I also added a homemade co2 bottle. Should I wait another 2 weeks or more to flower.also can I switch to 24 I've been using 18/6 .

I always veg in 24/0 and have never had any problems. As for height how far away ate your lights and what nutes are you using?

I don't know what strand it was but I found the only seed n a month of smoking the good stuff and I planted it. This is my first grow but I'm trying to do it right by checking the Ph and using the right light temperature or color. One of the bottom cleves is turning yellow and crisp. I water bout every 2 days fertilize every other watering. I use miracle grow house plant food. I got good soil though.

Ok, 1st things 1st...after 2 months she may be root bound and therefore the growth is stunted, transplant as suggested. 2nd when using fluoro's the lights can be close enough to touch the leaves, get her closer. 3rd Since as you say you want to do it right, please read, study, plan, and act. There is a wealth of great info to be had here at RIU and also plenty of how to vids on you tube. Here's one to get you started. Good luck!...

1st get it out of the peat pot. Transplant to at least 1gal (i'm guessing it's only 7" tall) depending upon how much room (vertical) you have will determine when you HAVE to flip. If you have head height then use a bigger pot.

Next keep floro's as close to the plant as you can to min stretch.

With using MG use less than recommended until several wks into flower.

I don't see the yellow leaf, but that happens to bottom leaves.

All the advice on Transplanting is spot on. Also, considering you are using florescent lights, remember that you should keep these as close to the plant as you possibly can without burning it. You can tell this by gauging the heat with your hand. Generally, 2-4 inches is a good distance. Peace
