Morning

First time growing indoors and trying to stay organic. 4 plants are Indica dom 1 Sativa dom All plants are different in appearance but like my father use to say "all ladies are beautiful some just more than others" The sativa she is a challenge because of her stretch and flowering schedule but was just too beautiful not to keep and glad I did! Since going into flower i've been adding bloom nutrients slowly working towards full strength per manufacture guidelines. Tomorrow i'll be feeding at near full strength with the nutrients below. Wondering if anyone thinks the plants look behind in where they should be for the fourth week of flower, if so suggestions on what I might want to add to their diet? Also the Sativa dom plant was over a week behind in showing me her sex. I've researched the ingredients of what I"m feeding finding the same nutrients but at different strengths pretty much across the board with the exception for a item or two. I know I'm spending to much on nutrients and next grow will try to do things differently but for now these are the nutrients I have and want to make sure I provide them to the ladies the best I can. I've attached photos taken this morning. Ps Pictures aren't great so if it helps let me know and I'll try to take better ones.

@mysunnyboy Sturgeon, bass, trout, salmon, steelhead Yourself?
Well I broke my arm and had four plates in 12 screws put in three weeks ago so I ain’t fishing now LOL but I fish for redfish, trout, snook, basically anything in salt or blackish water. I’ve caught a few nice bass but I’m not too much into fresh water fishing.
I’ve live around Tampa:eyesmoke:

Ouch. Hope you heal up quick! I hear Tampa/Florida is great for all kinds of fishing. Had the chance to go in May but with ladies in the tent I can't go. But planning on a trip and fishing there sooner rather than later.

I think your pictures are fantastic, and good job on your grow, it puts mine to shame. I am on my first grow as well, but these look great to me

For my Sativa its week 1 She's still stretching some but flowers are really coming on strong! Anyone want to chime in on what I should be doing to help her out? I'm getting some light yellowing in a few of the bigger fan leaves but was thinking she was just consuming them to help grow all her flowers. Today I gave them a feed that is stronger than anything they have had to date yet. Fingers crossed! Also I raised the light above and beside her and dimmed my 315 CMH to %80 after speaking with a fellow with some of the nicest looking sativa I've ever seen! @Gentlemencorpse thought I might be suffering a little burn. All three lights put out a fair share of heat, hat and glasses are a must under them.

I'm kinda =

I’m no expert don’t get me wrong, and if I’m incorrect someone please tell me. But I thought you wanted more light and to lower the lights a bit during flower? You shouldn’t have to dim them and raise them in this stage I don’t think? Maybe it is something else causing the yellowing of the leaves if it didn’t have that in the vegetation stage

Also a newbie and I agree completely but with the rate of growth I've had to.. Light specially uv light can and will burn a plant same way it could harm you if you are under it long enough without proper protection. This site and the people who are part of it are a true blessing and I thank everyone for the help I've received from you. More time i'm here reading the more I'm beginning to understand what makes the ladies tick. Damn if it wasn't for ADHD in school I would have enjoyed the hell out of Botany if I'd ever taken it! Never to old to learn! :peace:
