this is my first grow ( my english its not great so sorry for not beeing very explicit). bought 8 plants 4 autoflower easy rider , 3 pure afghan and one bonus seed. 3 Easy rider and 2 afghan + the bonus one germinated so i now have 6 plants. they have 3 weeks and 2 days. my setup si 2X 105 W flurescent + 1x25W (more than 9000 lumens , less than 1 square meter) . the temp is about 30-31 celsius degrees and the humidity around 30-35.

the 2 afghan seem to grow nice but the easy rider despite a very good start, in the last week started to get yellow and they didnt seem to grow much (about 1-2 cm in one week). today i started adding nutes.

You are right to add nutrients. That yellowing from the tip on the bottom is from a lack of nitrogen. Good luck on your grow :)

If the yellowing is lack of nuts than your soil sucks. I good soil mix can sustain plants for months with zero nuts. What kind of soil are you using?

Good soil less mixes have no nutes in it other than what you add. You are likely 4 weeks old by the looks of your plants? Although I don't agree with Serapis often, he's dead on the money with "time to give some nutes". I would suggest -start with 1/4 strength nutes, and up it every week unless you see signs of nute burn.. so go 1/4 strength for 1 week.. then up it to 1/2 strength the next week, and as long as you don't see nute burn.. go full strength after that. Nute burn takes about 3 days to start to show after you feed, so keep an eye out but you should still be far enough along that you won't run into problems.... and your plants will give you a hand job for looking after them (*not all strains give handjobs... so don't hold me accountable)

What who does that, why would you lie about how old your plant is?

More light get one or even a few of the large cfl's that are used in shop's abroad,that's if you can't get hold of a hps/hid.Start by adding a small ammount of nute's and the plant's will thank you later for it.You realy need more light though or the end result will be realy dissapointing,The problem with cfl lighting is that the plant's will strech this will mean that the node's are futher away from each other thus giveing you less bud sites.But we all start some where so don't give up after this grow carry on you will improve on every grow untill you get it down to a art,allthough most of us have not got this far yet but you willget there in the end good luck any questions post to my box i try my best```tyke

IMO, the best advice for now would to be mix some better soil. I know transplanting can stress the plant but you'll have to do it eventually because those pots are not big enough.

2 parts worm castings in humus (buy it at the organic grocery)
1 part MG Organic potting soil
1 part Vermiculite
1 part Perlite

Mix enough for at least 3 gallon pots.

I've seen it posted... who?... can't think of the guys names off the top of my head... why - you going to go harass them?
and why? read the last sentence of my post. People tell you their in 3rd week of flower and have all this wicked bud growing,, makes them look like they are good growers doesn't it? Meanwhile their shit's in week 5 and should look like it does or better.. and get no props. Pretty evident as to why someone would lie. Then 2 weeks later the same guy asks about his final weight... and it's mediocre.. you see in his post 2 weeks ago his plants were only 3 weeks old.. then they are harvested... at what should be week 5.... but the bud is obviously finished and likely week 8-9.... follow?
