Mix up some medium strength grow big, top up your pots with fresh ocean forest and water. Water slowly, you're trying to rinse that new ocean forest deeper. Using that combination what we're doing is aiming for broad spectrum deficiencies along with our primary suspect - nitrogen. The ocean forest is going to provide all micro nutrients plus a good shot of nitro, along with the grow big. Given your plants are established and fox farms ocean forest is an organic soil, we won't have to worry about burn unless you JUST fertilized.

My pots are relatively full, no room for anymore soil. Should I just water them now with the grow big? I just watered them plain water last night, nutes were on monday

DAY 30 UPDATE:
I went to Vegas for a few days and gave my babies some alone time, when I came back, THEY TOOK OFF!!!! They look wilted in the pics cause I just watered them, they will be comin back up in a few
First 3 pics are WW, last 3 are BW
All the yellowing went away with the feeding, thats awesome. THANKS GRIZZ!!! The only yellow is on the bottom 2 leaves on each plant still. The lower ones on the WW were the ones that burned up pretty good. They arent comin back I dont think. Also, when I filled up the pots, they pretty much just lay on the soil. Im thinkin about snipping them off but Ill wait for some advice from the pros around here
I am AMAZED at how they are comin along. The leaves are getting HUGE!! No signs of anything wrong now, all is good in the hood!
Grizz.....what do you think about topping them soon to get the 2 colas like Uncle Bens writeup?
HOLLERRRRRRR
EDIT: How do u rotate pics 90 degrees?

If you top now its pretty late in the game to do so, besides, you're flowering. Don't top in flower, bad idea.

DAY 32 UPDATE: DAY 2 OF FLOWER
First 2 are WW. Just showed sex
BW is the next 3. You can see how the WW is twice the size of the BW. Must be the sativa cross. Im getting worried about height control as Ive been lowering the plants daily almost.
Other than that, its smooth sailing. Im gonna pick up some FF Tiger Bloom tomorrow and use that in my next feeding.

DAY 39 - DAY 9 FLOWER
WE'VE GOT BUDS!! First 2 are WW, second 2 are BW.
Everything is looking good. The one thing I find interesting is the water schedule. I watered them both 3 days ago and the WW is almost dry, whereas the BW is still showing the water as super moist. They are in the same pots, I wouldn't figure I have a drainage problem but who knows. Ill prolly need to water the WW tomorrow and I don't think the BW will be ready yet. Any advice?
Im also looking into pulling off a few of the useless leaves towards the bottom. Ive read it can stress ur plant what whatnot, but if done properly, it helps the higher buds get more food/light. I don't have a whole lot space in my case anyways. Plus most of the bottom leaves are yellowing or dryin up anyways.
Other than that, things are rollin. Ive been feeding them every other watering with a mix of:
1/2 dose of FF Tiger Bloom
1/2 dose of FF Big Bloom
1TB molasses
(Every other watering I add a 1/2 dose of Grow Big)
No nute burn to be seen yet, and they respond real nice to the nutes and watering.
Holllerrrrrr

Lookin hawt babie.
If the leaves are damaged enough you wanna remove them, just use something edged. Xacto knife, scissors, etc. If its a clean cut, the plant heals real fast. Jorge Cervantes says if leaves are over 50% damaged to remove them.
LOWER DOSING NUTES KICKS ASS DOESN'T IT?? Haha, I love it.

haha Yes it does my friend. Thanks again for helpin me out on the grow.
Its not so much that my leaves are damaged, more like my plant needs some pruning. I read up on a few things and watched a few vids about lollipopping and such. I dont think Imma strip everything off, but there are def some branches not doing shit but taking up light.
And what do u think about the plant not draining? DO u think it just drinks slower than the WW, or do I have a drainage block. It seems odd to me that it would be so moist compared to the other plant.

Alright fellow RIU'ers Im updating the grow!! Heres the new cabinet and light I just ordered:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/South-Shore-Two-Door-Cabinet-Royal-Cherry-Finish/10669757#ProductDetail
http://www.htgsupply.com/viewproduct.asp?productID=47994
My 2 plants are totally outgrowing the PC case and doing so well. I need to give em the space they need. I did quite a bit of researching and I believe this to be the perfect grow setup for my needs. It gives me plenty of space and a locking door. Ive got a great ventilation system planned out and it all should be pretty stealthy. Everything should be here next week and ill start assembling it.
In the meantime, Im gonna go snap some pics of the sluts now. Ill be back!
