Hi everyone this is my first grow the seeds are bag seeds im growing under cfls im about a month into flowering I was wondering if anyone can tell me about how much longer I have? Also some of the bottom leaves have started to turn yellow and you can see some signs of burns on the leafs do you guys think this will be a huge issue? What should i be doing differently? For a wile now i have been watering like everyday and I have relised that is bad and plan to water every other day instead, what do you think of this? I have stooped using fertilizer because i feel that's what is causing the burns but if you think i should start please tell me? any advice would be great thanks here are some pics/

Also please rate. tell me what i need to improve on

well i would water when they need it not by how many days its been .... as for nutes , it does look like a little burn , but i wouldnt stop them useing them all together ... just cut the dose for a while , dont wanna starve them when they flower .. as for how long ... 4 to 6 weeks or so, depending on how they look at that time .. they look good bro, the burn isnt that bad .. just low nutes for a bit should help ..

happy growin

Same time frame 4 weeks +/- . About the bottom leafs turning yellow, that's normal. As the plant matures and as your using less and less nitrogen in your nutrient feed the plant uses all the N stored up and begins to yellow as a result of N deficiency. This could also be the opposite and your using too much N which your plant does NOT need right now because she's in flowering. In any case, cut down on the N if your still feeding her N, if your not feeding her N then don't worry about it because the only nutrients you need to keep an eye on right now is P and K primarily. At week 4 you should start to see yellowing in the bottom vegetation regardless. If you start to see too much yellowing and more than a couple of leafs start falling off specially in the top canopy then use a bit of Micro (N and micro nutrients) to help but I wouldn't worry too much. In any case for CFL's and only a month of flowering your doing really well bro keep up the good work. This next month will be one of the best months you've had in a long while, I know I had my first time around. Hope it helps friend.

Absolutely awesome job with just cfls! There are many cfl posts on the newbie thread that don't look 1/2 as good. It is apparent you did your homework before you started. As was stated before the yellowing at this stage is normal for lower leaves. The plant is nearing the end of it's life cycle and is not really utilizing to much N in favor of P and K. I do see a little burn on some of the upper leaves but nothing to get all freaky over. If you are now addicted to growing and decide to put some more $ in to it and get HID lighting, I would suggest removing all that tin foil and getting mylar or flat white paint. Tin foil and cfl is fine, tine foil and HID, not a good idea. Keep up the good work! +rep!

I think you've done a fairly good job given that your using compact fluorescent lights. Keep up the good work.
