Every1 say thank u 2 purp.. He has been in this thread from day 1 helping me evry dam step of the way.. Korvette and mobetter helped a little with some pointers.. But purp has been holding my hand from day 1 with this.. I changed my light schedule from 12/12 to 14/10 since u told me they wont flower until they are mature.. My plants are drinking over a liter aday.. I have been cutting all the big leaves that block the other plants from getting good amounts of light. I had to raise the lamp to its 2nd setting.. But im affraid the others are going to die since the closest plant to the tallest 1 is 2 or 3 inches smaller.. I have 3 23 watt=100 cfl and 1 42watt=150 surrounding the plants.. Its about 8000 lumens not including the 3 AG lights.. Im hoping that this enuf light for the other 4 to catch up to the biggest 1.. When i do change to flowering in about another month i am going to add 1 or 2 more 42watt cfl's.. I noticed 2day that some leaves have little brown spots before the tips.. I dont know if its because i put the nute tablet a day early or what.. Its only on a few leaves on the lower halfs of the plants.. All the ones on top are lookin good.. If u have any advice on this purp let me know.. Thanks a million my man purp.. And korvette those shits are looking awesome.. Purp he said he grew from seed 2 and plans on flowering in a few days.. Is this still 2 early to flower? Until next time guys thanks every1 hea for all the tips and pointers and checking my grow.. Im hoping for the best

very good,you are learning to prune!:bigjoint:
it is good to getrid of the big "fan" leaves that are depriving ur other ones from light but not too many.
i used the AG nutes until i got my gen hydro nutes...what i used my first grow,and i hadthe same probs,,,sothats why i got some real nutes..not that i am against the AG nutes because i know they work,ive seen pics and kept up with other growers,,thats how i know.but i dont know too much about them but i had probs using them.i followed the directions and eveything and still had brown spots and dying leaves,,i think you have to use half strength,i am not sure,,but don"t quote me on that.just spend a little dough and get some real nutes,,youll see a big diference!
and then again it has alot to do with your ph too so:wall:
i would say start flowering at 18" or 3months which ever comesfirst.
I guess just keep going like your going,,,if itz working for you and flowers correctly but wont till they mature then ill know i can start flower earlier!!!!

well heas 2 new pics.. Im not gonna be able to afford better nutez this grow.. I already spent over a $100 on the upgrades i did.. I gave it a little thought and it might be because of the fish water ive been putting in.. Ive been putting about a liter a day.. And thought that the fish water has a shit load of nutez in it 2. So im gonna try and put distilled water 1 day then fish the next and see if this cures the leaves a little.. Purp if i knew how to give a +rep nigga i woulda gave u 10 stars by now.. But here are the new pics

i would say the tallest is like 9-10 inches and smallest like 4-5 inches.. Ill wait until the tallest is gonna be 20 inches until i flower.. Hopefully the lil ones at least get to 12-15 inches. Hows ur babies doin man post the pics i dont mind

purp i switched the light schedule bak to 14/10 since u told me that 12/12 too early will just cause them to grow slower.. I bought another 42watt cfl and switched out a 23 watt.. But my leaves are gettin brown yellow circles at the tips.. I dont know what exactly is causing it.. But i switched putting the fish water in everyday and put fresh bottled water 1 day and fish water the next.. Another question i got for u purp is that i put 2 large nutrient tablets in when i thought i was goin into flowering stage.. If i switch back to the growing nutez will it hurt them with the switch bak?? Other than that thats it 4 now.. I think ill start real flowering in another 2-3 weeks.. And purp i gave u +rep man

CFL=compact fluorescent, you need the 42 watt ones with a warm(2700-3000kelvin)
A 1/4 pound might be asking a bit much, but maybe if you get cfls, and you can smoke all you want around your plants, wont hurt wont help. You should start flowering as soon as they get about 5 in, you dont have a lot of room and you dont want them getting to big
