bottom leaves continue to yellow, die, and fall off???

She might show some pre-sex flowers very soon but I don't see anything yet. For sure try to get better lighting. Your yellow leaves are not normal for this stage of the grow if everything is optimized. Fix the lighting and then see if the yellowing keeps going up. At that point you would want to feed it more.

the internodal space is long tells me you don't have adequate light. Increase the juice to something like 300w and you will see a much beefier plant.

How close can i keep a 300w light to the plant?

 

[dannyboy602]

a floro can get pretty close. HID lights not so much. As a general rule put your hand under the light and if it feels not too hot on your hand it will be good for the plant too.

I regulate my own time and am usually very careful. However i fell asleep last night and my lights got left on. How and/or will it affect my plant?

Grab a timer, takes the stress of it out a bit.
If you're still in the 18/6 schedule leaving the lights on won't hurt it.

By 100w regular bulb you mean non cfl bulb right? You can grab a bunch of cfl bulbs and get them pretty close to the plant without burning them and they give a better light source.

The lst looks good btw.

Buy a cheap ANALOG timer! Don't mess around with those digitals.Lost 2 digitals in a row but have used 3 analogs I have had literally for years and never had one fail.

I've burnt out some expensive bulbs messing with a digi.
I hate the pull pin timers, but I have a great one with 15 min intervals and the pins work like a switch and can't be removed from the unit.

I am still in 18/6. And yes thats what i meant by 100w bulb. I have other florescents around it as well. I plan on addidn another one today as i continue to get replys about more lighting.
I think for sure i am investing in a timer or the analog timer. Especially before i put it into flower

1 night won't affect them too much but yes definitely get a timer, it makes things easier and you definitely want the light schedule to be as regular as possible.

the lst is coming nicely. But it seems to have really slowed down growing the last few days.

 

[woody333333]

Still need more light and less water

 

[woody333333]

Sex shows when you flip the light cycle to 12/12. It will never show in the vegetative state. What kind of light are you running and whats the light cycle set to?

What do you mean never in veg?....

If your growth has slowed and your leaves are yellowing, from lower and affecting new growth. Nitrogen like homie said.

And to activate the flowering cycle you need 9-11.5 hours of darkness that is uninterrupted. this has to be maintained for 10 days for it to switch from veg to flower, going back to veg from flower takes an additional 10 days to complete the switch process

Too much nitrogen or not enouh?

Sorry. You know what i ment. Ive read the ops last two threads and theyre not getting any "brighter", most people find the section theyre growing in by now in riu ( like hydro, stealthcab, fluorescent) and read up on this. Or do a little research by reading at least. Im also pretty sure shes been told like fifteen times she needs more light yet she refuses to listen.

Its a bit soon yet, but what type of lighting and wattage will i need for 12/12

You just need more light than the incandescent bulbs your running.....aaaaagggghhhhh!!!!!

 

[Alienwidow]

best bet is a 400 w hps.

I would veg that plant back to healthy before you flower it.
