the cola wont grow taller, the plant may stretch for a couple more weeks, it is commonly known that the plants will almost always stretch when u switch to 12/12 .some double or triple in size

Well let me say I know what to look for but I am afraid I will miss it(Hermies) . I took some clones today hope they survive. Also here are some baby bud shots.

Here is a pic of my home made clone dooms. I also put some pics of the buds on my babies I have 5 more 2700k cfls but I cant find anymore Y splitters for the light Friday I am going to the city to find some. I took the close up with a Iphone and a magnifying glass. Hope you like them.

I was thinking today that my buds looked small and I have always felt like I started flowering too early. So I have a question, I switched the light cycle to 12/12 on the 1/26/10 but I didnt see my first preflower until 2/03/10 so does that mean that I am really on about my 3rd week of Flowering?

doesnt really matter, id say ur almost at 30 days of flower if u switched to 12/12 on the 26th

once again i will second this notion
it is a fact the flowering starts when you flip the lights to 12/12

These are the leaves from the bottom of the plant but its starting to climb a little bit. Please help me identify the problem.

 

[HookedOnChronic]

normal for bottom leaves to die off, are u feeding nutes??

^^^^ is right
but
cut back on nutes see what happens
could be nute burn

It is not normal for plants to yellow from the top up, that is what happens when people feed less at the end of flowering. I have plants over 8 weeks into flowering with no yellow leaves

Judging by your pics it could be mag deficiency, what nutes are you using and at what dosage binky?

 

[HookedOnChronic]

could be, but i dont see a plant pic,
from those pics it looks like the fan leaves under the canopy is wilting/dying off, which is normal during flower from my experience, if you feed a lot of Nitrogen(N) it may keep them green but the plant is withdrawing all the sugars from those leaves before they die/wilt

again what week flower and are u feeding nutes?

 

[binkkybrown]

I have been using Epsom salt for mg, Green light super bloom 12-55-6 plus iron, also I use a little MG Organic Fert (from Sugar and Beet Molasses) about every other week. I start 12/12 on Jan 26 I always test ph and my temp is about 80F on avg.

 

[HookedOnChronic]

looks good, are u giving the recommended dose of nutes that it says on the bottle??? some leaves look a tad burnt but not bad at all

 

[binkkybrown]

No I was using a weaker mix of the ferts. I flushed my plants today it was time, and I use molasses I used 3 tbs per 1 gallon of water. So .........flush...wait........Molasses. For each.
