On the FF feeding chart they recommend giving them a dose of "grow big" which is the veg nutes 6-2-2 I think it was.. On the 3rd and 4th week of flowering. Check it out... IF you haven't already. I'm assuming you haven't fed them any N in a while..??

I would use the TB at a light dose too.

Dont give it tiger bloom man seriously, that thing looks like it only needs nitrogen, everything else looks just fine to me.
in im opinion id say try the tiger bloom out..its gonna help those buds swell up.and the yellowing of the leaves is a natural process that it goes through during flowering.it does take the nitrogen and sugars from the bottom of the plant..remember..bottom of the plant.which is more important..the buds or the leaves at the bottom.theres a reason why bloom nutes have low if no nitrogen at all.in the final stages of the plant its not needed as much.let the plant take from it what it needs...as for the nute burn...just feed it a 1/4 strength less this time.never start bloom nutes at full strength

Hey thanks for all the help and advice guys.
My ph tester got here today so i think im going to give a low dose of FFTB because i dont have nitrogen.

I would defo build some sort of space for your plants to be,you want to keep as much of the light that you have in and around them.but if your planning on flowering them in the same space make sure you have enough room for them to grow.And dont use foil,it gets too warm,just use white paper or paint,that will be fine
DONT use white paper. Horrible plan. White paint is fine, white paper could cause a fire in so many different ways its not worth it

I just fed my plants.
2 tsp per gallon of molasses and a 1/2 tsp of Fox Farm Tiger Bloom.
The PH was 5.2 before i upped it to 6.8.

I hope 6.8 is a good PH for my girls?
Maybe the massive amount of yellowing and lost leaves can be explained by the 5.2 PH nute solution i use to feed my plants with?

Yep that will do it!! Mine was high, "ph 8" but did the same thing, I just caught it a littler earlier.

They should love that molasses and tb!! More than anything they will like that 6.8 ph'd water!!

god im a fucking retard.... i drooped my ph tester and now it reads a bunch of random numbers and then just (1 . ) instead of (06.8) or (05.2)

i hate how things just cant go as planned.

Wow man i just read 36 pages.... well... briefely... nice grow dude! Shame you opted for the hps! As i love a good cfl grow lol, have you noticed a massive difference though?

Yeah what those people was saying is right when the leaves yellow like that during flowering its the plant sucking the N from the leaves for bud growth because bloom nutes usually dont have alot of N so giving it half dose of bloom and half dose of grow should show improvement :)

More green leaves = more light absorbtion. Let the bud growth take the N from the soil and not your solar panels :) It is very important

haha thanks for reading man you should change your settings so that its 40 posts per page.
The hps doubled the size of my buds compared to when i flowered my other plants under CFLs so its up to you.
Anyway im going to get a veg nute for my next grow so i can do a better job.
