pretty much yellowing lower leaves. I think its more a cfl thing not nutes. i been kicking up my nutes every feeding. Im going to keep uping the dose till they tell me to slow down. its been working great. No problems with my 8 Kc Sweet dreams but 5 out 6 bagseeds have been giving me problems. I think it was cal-mag def and some had re deformed leaves. But Since uping my nutes there shaping up. Growth right now is crazy. they plants grow everytime i dont see them for a couple of hours. I'll update some pics when lights on.

400w HPS would do u better. most people veg with the cfls and then throw them under the HPS. i'm thinking about a 400w HPS for flowering nice grow if it yield is real small. any reason for trimming lower leaves??????

I thought I read that since light is not making it to the lower leaves removing them would redirect hormones to focus on the upper leaves that are getting light. OK, HPS for flower that is what i want, veg with cfl and flower with hps.

yeah right after i asked, when lights came on some showed signs of sex. 1 female and 3 maybe males. i think im in denial about the males. i see small balls so i waited to wait a day and see if a pistil pops out of it. but i think there males.

My cam won't get a good pic up close but I believe of the 6, 4 are female and the other 2 are unknown for now. I need to find my digi cam so I can get a good pic, maybe by tomorrow.

MG Organic Soil.
CFLs light.
Distilled water.
From 16 oz cup to 1.5 qt pots. Transplanted at the end of week 3, I think....
Temps normally just over 80 I would like it to be cooler though.
Seedling growth 3 weeks
Vegged 1 week.
Flower 1 week. I will flower until trichs change at about 50-50.
I may us MG organic feed.
The cfls are great for seedling and veg but I feel a lil high maintenance for flowering.
I was not expecting all the seeds to pop and now with the six I feel my lighting is inadequate.
watering has become a lil bit of chore since flowering, every 2 days.
I have trimmed the lower leaves as i felt the light was not penetrating to the lower ones.

I have really enjoyed the ride this far and expect I will continue after this harvest.
