i just picked up some bloom nutes for my plant as its loosing colour and starting to get spots and dry up and fall off on the lower branches...i havnt use any nutes yet
its my first time so im adding 1 teaspoon to half a gallon of water.....can anyone give me some pointers or anything im using FLORANOVA BLOOM 4-8-7 for soil....i have a few clones so i also picked up the veggie nutes as well they are 7-4-10.........can you guys also tell me if i picked myself up some good nutes or not.2013-01-16 23.29.39.jpg2013-01-16 23.30.02.jpg

U sure that's week 6 flowering....???...I'm not trying to say "hey look at my week six compared to urs haha"... ..but my week 6 w cfls usually looks like this....1357220380273.jpg...I don't feed much...like once every 10days or less and only quarter doses....I'm thinking light is ur problem...u don't have enough...the plant is stretched n the buds should b farther along at week 6...the yellowing is normal for flowering when not feeding a lot n nothing to b concerned abt....my first reaction when I look at the plant is "needs more light"...just my scoop on it

Im using 6 23watt cfl over top in the center ...looks like a lil ufo sorta ...ill post a pic later....but what really weird is ive grown with like 6 cfls before with lower wattage lighting and the buds turned out to be monsterous heres a pic of the old one with no nutes from seed to end with just mgPicture 001.jpg

so do you think these nutes will help and im assuming i could use more light but i have gotten bigger buds off 6 13watt cfls before im using 6 23watt so i should be getting better

The nutes won't hurt....but more light would help more...u cant successfully flower 2 plants w 6 23 watt cfls....not unless u were growing in a shoe box....the space ur plants are in from what I see in pic needs abt 600 actual cfls watts to do well....just my opinion

what wattage cfl bulbs to you use? You have a serious cfl setup going there.

Im guessing from the pic.. that you meant to say 6 weeks from seed... that cant possibly be your 6th week of flowering ?!?!? :-S They look more like 4 week veg.. and in week 2 of flower.. is that right??? One thing I did notice.. is it seems you have all of your light bulbs concentrated in one spot.. and they are not nearly close enough to have really good effect on your plants.. Try spacing out the bulbs and hanging them at different heights beside and around the plant.. You want each bulb to be about 2 inches from the plant.. and even light over the whole plant.. CFL's are not my choice.. but they do work if you have enough of them and have the REALLY close to the buds... Ive found most people tend to spend just as much money trying to cheap out with dozens of CFL bulbs and fixtures.. when a decent 400 watt set up with a fixture is only a couple hundred bucks...... even less if you can find used gear! My best advice would be to get a better light.. but there are a few things to can do to make the CFL's work better for you... Good luck dude!

thanks anymore advice would be good from anyone right now ...using the 23 watts of light to save on the energy bill or id get a 400 watt bulb plus for that lil closet i have it be insanly hott for the plants cause its so small and id have to have the doors closed all the time this is why i went with the cfls and i couldnt put any exhaust for air to escape because of the nice wooden doors...so cfls is good cause theres no heat and dont kill the hydro bill

im looking at 45 watt cfls or 85 watt cfls the 85 are really expensive for one .....wondering if the 45 will do the trick if i put 6 of em in there ???
