Looks OK so far. I'd recommend five gallon smart pots in the future. The other best piece of advice I can give; don't fuck with them unless they need something.

25 watt cfls 7500k bright light daylight for vegging then was going get 400 watt hps for flowering. I have 5 cfls going. Aorflow is mediocre. I need get small fan to circulate air.

If you have a look on amazon you can get really good usb fans for about a pound fifty. Having that moving your Plant about helps build stronger stems and makes it easier for them to "breathe" would be great for now but might need more under hihps due to heat issues?

Definatly under hps. I have old computer fans i was going to hook up eventually. One to blow out and one on bottom to blow in.

Now you got flowers showing you should get your HPS as soon as possible! That's my plan anyway ;) and it should be worth your while. You could have it on 20/4 until your autos are done then put your photo into flower! By then if all goes as smooth as it's looking so far, your HPS should have ALREADY paid itself back. Best of luck buddy!!

Also with your intake and outtake with computer fans I still recommend at least 1 fan blowing directly on your plant. Not only will it help with temps (the hps wwill kick off far more heat) but the stems, alot like muscles, will become stronger by being blown about and therefore able to support heavier buds. :D

400watt hps will be here n a week. Using cfls till then. Plan on veggimh non auto with cfls for a extra month while autos are under hps.
So jealous man, I gotta wait 2 weeks for my hps Light, tent and ventilation to arrive. But my cfls certainly do seem to be cutting it for now...

Oh no :( have you tested your ph yet? That's looks like multiple deficiencys from a lockout to my noob eye. Also I think I can see mite damage. (the white specks eeverywhere) flush your soil with phd water, if you don't have a test kit and ph up/down then find bottled water with the ph written on it. Your aiming for around ph6. I hope I help you mate, I had a similar problem a free weeks back on my photo strain and it was because my soil was ph 8.7.....

Yeah you can but if you can afford bottled water you can afford to do a ph test. If your on a serious budget even the 99p litmus papers on your run would be Worth it. Otherwise that plants guna die man :(
