Well this is my first grow. I started Flowering 3 days ago and ave been using 4 100w 2700K cfls. I ave also been using Fox Farms Tiger Bloom. Ph is at around 7. Temp is around 80 with the lights on. The last picture is a clothes closet from home depot for $15 then i covered the inside with mylar. Fits perfect inside my closet. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

hey and welcome!!! looking good so far but cut back on the nute abit the leafs are showing signs of nute burn and i would recommend ph`ing your water you want your run off (water drained from the bottom) to be between 6.4-6.0,keep us updated.

happy growing!
 
Also your temps are a bit high - 80 degrees will stunt growth - bring your temps down to a range of 72-78 degrees. At night your temps should not drop below 65-degrees.

80 degrees will stunt growth but 78 is good? haha.
i highly doubt 80 degrees will stunt growth, 80 degrees isnt hot at all.

I have been using half of the recommended dosage on her. Any idea why she is still showing signs of nute burn? Could it be something else?
 
If your plants are doing well at 80 degrees by all means go for it....but what I do know is that marijuana grows best in a temperature "RANGE" of 72-78 degrees. Again, temperature RANGE.... Just want to share my knowledge.

Listen to this girl...she KNOWS what she's talking about.
 
Everything looks good, you may want to lower the ph as everyone said i have noticed spring and distilled water work best with soil grow, my concern would be the tips, plus if you dont get your ph right you will have nute uptake problems.
 
I don't want to argue my point - that is not my intention. I only want to help. But those of you who disagree are free to do so...but in doing so please offer sufficient advice on the question of nutrient burn or something else.....no one seems to be offering helpful information to remedy the issue. High temps can causes heat stress.

The ideal temperature for the light hours is 68 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit and for the dark hours there should be about a 15 degree drop in temperature. The growing room should be relatively dry if possible. What you want is a resinous coating on the leaves and to get the plant to do this, you must convince it that it needs the resinous coating on its leaves to protect itself from drying out. In an extremely humid room, the plants develop wide leaves and do not produce as much resin. You must take care not to let the temperature in a dry room become too hot, however, since the plant cannot assimilate water fast enough through its roots and its foliage will begin to brown out.
 
There are some natrual remedees i have read about like vinagar and something else, anyone else hear of this? The ph up & down is too powerful, i dont like it at all...
 
Sodium Bicarb is slightly alkaline (baking soda), its conjugate base will Raise the PH. This is a buffer so it would slow the swings in PH as it has a conjugate base and acid.
I could see someone needing to do this over the course of a week not all at once a gradual change in PH. Also bicarb is a salt and might lock up the roots. It's an idea to try I guess.

Lime is the best think for making it more alkaline. and buffering back to 7.0 PH
Peat moss will make it more acidic.

She is now confirmed female. Sexy little hairs sticking out all over. Also ive been using distilled water and have been able to get the ph to go down. Thanks for the suggestions.
