i really hope this person gets back on i would really like to help them so they at least get SOMETHING to smoke. even if those were female if they continued like this he would get either nothing or maybe a few grams of questionable weed

Sorry it took me so long to reply I didn't expect so much feedback but I just trimmed the middle one which I know is a female I tied its stem down so the nutes would start spreading out looking for light when I was in veg mode I had two 65-6700k cfl lights I would say there about a foot and a half away from the lights and I water every 4-5 days

well the cfls work best in the 2-3 inch range. if theres anyway you can get the girls closer that would be good for them, a dash of fert with some N wouldn't be a bad idea. View attachment 2076287here is a picture that could help since you actually can see the plant much better than us.

Thanks for the help and especially that chart and now that I'm looking at the chart the plants look more of a phosphorus deficiency I'm currently using miracle gro organic bloom booster

right sir, but keep in mind before you touch any of the ferts just move them lights down. give it like 2-3 days man they also might just look like that cus dude, those lights being over a foot away is giving those lights such low amount of light its crazy. i think that would cut your total Watts to 1/16 making your plant grow under only like 22Ws which 50W per plant is a rule of thumb and even then the plants would kinda look sickly as well.

I would do a transplant into a more proven growing media. sterilize and ph balance before you start. Most of the dirt you buy like MG has time released ferts...

that graph was made from plants grown under 400W HPS lights probably [cus it came from hightimes] so those certain leaves can ONLY have not enough fert or too much.

how do you guys get plants like that...fuck ive grown better ones by accident...4real....its soooo simple...light(lots) micros and staples..proper ph...its not rocket science...use a 1 part fert if your a newb...like 20-20-20 ph buffered super natural brand with micro.....its a no brainer....down the road when (and if) you understand nutrient uptackes and requirements start using something more advanced...(not the shit with cartoons on the bottle or box....) but professional products...anyway thats jm(not so)ho
