Vandula,
You look good man, normal. Unfortunatly due to the fact you used Miracle grow soil (any miracle grow products, or synthetic ferts the same) you will not be able to flush those nutrients out when harvest time comes. I hate to break it to you but your bud might burn a little harsh. I hope not, but it usually happens. Besides that, the plants look fine.
*****WARNING: Science lesson*******
ACScorp,
I'm proud that you have showed some real knowledge!!! The only comment I have about transpiration is you have it backwards. In hot dry parts of the world plants DONT want to sweat, they want to retain any moisture possible. What causes transpiration in a plant is the stomata, if you look at your MJ plant (or any plant) under a small microscope (10x-100x) you will see little holes. These are the stomata. When plants respire (take in CO2 put out O2) the stomata is the port in which these gasses are passed through. Unfortunatly when the stomata is open water vapor escapes.
Generally speaking (VERY generally as there are differnet types of photosenthisis with different species of plants ie grasses us C4 photosynthesis, cactus use CAM photosynthesis) plants that evolved in dry locations have skinny leafs to minimize the surface area, thus minimizing the amount of transpiration. Tropical leafs have broader leafs since they are in generally more moist environments.
With that said I think it would be a reasonable hypothesis to state that Sativa originated in dryer climates, while indica came from moister climates (or visa-versa, I always get the strains confused). The leaf shape is a genetically defined phenotype that cannot be altered by the abiotic environment.
Anyway, I hope I cleared that up. Keep up your research!

Bagseed refers to seeds you got out of a bag of regular bud. You didn't buy a high quality strain, or get a quality seed from a known strain source (ie you bought the seed online, or your friend grew some AK-47 got a few seeds somehow, and your grew one)

Thanks Bless, I've been ass backwards lately on allot of things 
Interesting science lesson. You must be a botanist or something. I'm trying to gain as much knowledge as possible. Although I am just growing for personal use, I have found this to be a very enjoyable hobby and have gone a little grow crazy.
I'm trying a Bat Plant now, They are hell to germinate and keep alive. On the other hand, I should have some good tomatoes this year!
I'd like your input on a screwup I did. I have seemed to have corrected it but it did freak me out since it was my best plant!

I'd like to hear your take on what I did wrong.
Thanks

Nope but there good with a little basil when you get the munchies!
In regards to your 12/12 question, I saw somewhere (maybe here) where a grower implemented a very creative light schedule. It wasn't based on a 24 hour day. I'll try to find the link but basically they reset their timer each day so they would get more light/dark cycles in a week than you would with a standard 12/12. It only amounted to one or two every 10 day period but they claimed it made a difference in flowering growth.
Maybe someone will remember this and post the link. I'm just going from memory but it was like a 10/10 or 11/11 cycle. Sounded like a real hassle but if it works, it may be worth a try.

Well ya' did asked!
Try it on tomatoes! LOL
When you you out of 12/12 it does become complicated. That's our life cycle.
Try it on tomatoes! LOL

its said that thin leaves are better then fat ones and the produce more thc you get thin leaves buy having dry climate or dehumidafier

Dude your plant looks perfectly healthy. I agree with UF that it is just growing so fast, and try not to water to much and keep it to every few days to a week even. It does look really good, and good luck. CFL wont burn your plants so keep it close and a lower color temp light like a warm white would be better for flowering.
