Broken Plant--Help continued with pics

Okay so this is the new thread with pictures included. Also if any opinions on how my plants are doing and if they are producing good buds or worth a shit or whatever, would be much appreciated. First grow, so all help is needed. But earlier I had a shit hour and everything went to hell. Two bulbs broke, a hangar almost started a fire from hitting the hot connection from light connected to outlet, I started bleeding from rushing to scrape up glass, my 4ft fluorescent light fixture fell onto my plants almost in a bucket of water. So yeah, basically my older plant (bagseed) broke in two places on the main stem and one bottom branch broke (I took the pre buds and smoked what little there was after a quick dry lol). My other two plants, one only had a bottom branch or two get hurt and the other broke on the main stem near the top. The stems are in tact, not completely separated and on the other thread people said it would heal. I haven't had time to splint it, but the big one is holding itself up if that's okay and the other is being supported by the other plant a little, just leaning on it. That's what recent'y happened and the update.
Grow info for critiques on how my plant is doing and probable yield and such..:
--MG potting soil, used MG nuts but they seemed to burn so I have only been using Schultz plant food 10-15-10. I had poor light on the budding plant in the beginning weeks (only fluorescent and 1 cfl) but now the lighting is (1 week recently) 11 26w cfl's and the 4ft fluorescent is off the side of the budding plant (took it down from hanging up). They are in 1 gallon pots and are no more than 3ft tall, closer to 2ft. i feed every other watering and my temps used to stay in the 75 range, but now are up in the mid 80s or higher, usually 84-86. I have one tower fan oscelating the plants. The other plant seeds are unknown as well, but supposively good strains. It's a closet grow, first time, so all information is welcome and needed!!

Oh and the budding plant is 6 weeks into flowering and the smaller plants have just begun showing sex at 10 days now.
 
Okay. yeah I read it and I'm going to do that when I get the chance. (roommate doesn't know about my plants lolz). But any opinions on my plants and the bud productions and such..? Please. I need all the help I can get so the two that are beginning to flower will actually be worth the time, bc I don't think this first one that is budding is even going to give me anything to smoke...:(

Hello! I can hear you. Thanks for the great discription on your unfortunate events. But you missed other important information in order to receive relevent data. You didnt tell us how many weeks veg is your plant. You might want to change your potting mix, its the MiracleGro thats burning your plants. I has time release nutes, (I'm sure you heard this before though) Also your plants look a little light green. Need better pics of your budding site. I might be able to help you then. ;)

As for you plants broken dont worry about it. Just put some duct tape on the crack (seriously). It will heal in a week or so.
 
I vegged it for about 3 weeks, a little longer like 3 and a half. Yeah I thought it might be the soil, but I assume it's late to change the budding one now. And yes my leaves are a mix, the middle ones on budding sites are dark green and the branching leaves are a lighter green with plenty of burn spots haha. I also duct taped it up with a plastic splint. As for the picture, I will have to post those tomorrow when lights turn back on.
 
And incase you messed up and meant to say I didn't put how long it has been flowering, read the post below it. It has been flowering for about 6 weeks. The other two just started showing sex, so they are not even two weeks yet.

You can transplant ANY plant at ANY time. Transplantation does involve risk of shock. But if you treat her like shes your baby, then you should be fine. Get something without time released nutes in the soil/soilless mix. Put your pot on its side (make sure you transplant with dry soil, it makes it alot easier and less messy) tap the sides of your container then slowly slide the soil mass out of the pot (helps to do this on the floor with a fresh newspaper underneath. Then slowly pat the mass with your hand, working the soil from the root mass. Once you have most of the root mass exposed slowly rise the plant and roots from the pile of soil and gently shake the rest of the soil from your roots. Repot it into new container and new potting mix. Right after its covered up make sure you give it some water with some light nutes rich in P (will help with shock and help grow new roots faster this way!) Make sure the soil is pretty wet. Also she may droop for a few days after (if she does DO NOT give her any water until soil one inch deep is dry. The droop will be shock and not that it needs more water, trust me I have drowned my share of transplants in my day) Good luck.

damn....so I'm guessing you tapped your plant out?...lol....tape it where it snapped...your yield is going to be greatly diminished cause of the snap though...
 
Well my first plant isn't much to be proud of, more a learning experience. I'm going to be lucky if I get an eighth worth from it I think. So diminished yields wont be too effected lol. As long as the snap on the plant that is just beginning the flowering stage wont have reduced yields, I'll be happy. It has stunted the growth of it I noticed because the other one that was starting to flower with it is a few inches taller. I started upping my nut dosage, as I was using very low. I didn't buy any soil today, i read this post too late. But I got a microscope so I can see the trichs now. I'll post in a few when my roommate leaves about how the trichs look. I have no selection of nuts in my area, there are no gardening stores or anything. Not even Lowe's carries a better brand I didn't see. So K-Gro is all I have but it's blue mineral type food 15-30-15 so it will have to do I guess. No good soils either...what's a good soil to purchase from Lowe's or k-mart/walmart? Best I've found is just the average organic soil from MG or the violet soil or something.
