Ok these ladies started off in bad conditions, and I nursed them and took care of them as a newbie would. A few days ago, I woke up and they were literally both vertical, one looking worse than the other. The leaves were drooped straight down, they looked dead as fuck. I decided to repot them into much larger pots, with some newer soil and fed them @ 1/4 strength nutrients. They absolutely LOVED it. Literally 45 minutes later, both plants perked back up and looked BETTER than they ever did during the entire time I had them. And the only thing I did was repot them, everything else remains the same.

I keep having to adjust the lights again every few hours or so, whether it be up a bit or slightly to the right or left directions since the leaves keep growing into them. I don't know what I am doing right but I hope it's going to work.

These are 100% Female clones bought from a Medical Marijuana government shop.

My setup:

-8 15w Daylight CFL's @ 6500k
-1 23w Soft White CFL @ 2700k (3 more ready to go when I put them into flowering)
-Organic Blooming soil (works perfectly fine for vegging, the vegging soil has the EXACT same ingredients) with shitloads of Perlite added into each pot
-Miracle Gro All-Purpose Nutrients @ 24-8-16 for vegging (have never used more than 1/4 strength)
- Schultz Blooming plant Food @ 10-54-10 for Flowering (plan to use 1/2 srength - let me know if I should not?)
- Lights approximately 1.5 inches from the plants
- Fan blowing 24/7 on them
- 24/0 Light Cycle

They are in their 4th week of Vegging for 4.5 weeks roughly now. I plan on putting them into flowering on Saturday, Oct 25th. The plan is to give them a complete 24 hours of darkness on Friday before saturday, then hit the 12/12 cycle. I heard this greatly increases yeild so I think it might be an excellent thing to try.

Their next watering isn't due until a day or so before the 25th (depending on how they uptake the water in this new pot) but I plan on using just regular water with some Epsom salts added in but no nutes. When should I add the blooming nutes? I don't want to overnute the plants since I just fed them the other day with the vegging nutrient's.

Here are the pics of the ladies :)

Comments and suggestions are MORE than welcome and are wanted/needed :)

yeah u need to turn the nutes down, just use straight distilled water and when the colorful or shiny or burned looking stuff on the leaves goes away u can use more but u have to gradually step into them small doses at a time
