Sour Cream Grow Question with Pictures

My plant (Sour Cream DNA Genetics) is about 20 days old. Here is a picture

Question 1, I induced flowering about 4 days ago by bringing her inside a closet at night roughly the same time at 8am/8pm. BUT sometimes I dont get home in time or maybe I bring her in/outside about 45 min +- that time. IS THAT TOO MUCH STRESS ON HER LIGHT CYCLE?

question 2, I have a few burnt leaves...DSCF2374.JPGDSCF2375.JPG

is this a nute burn or deficiency. I am very cautious about giving her nutes, which i use general hydroponic nutes flora micro flora grow and flora bloom maybe once a week IF that and I've read everywhere that less is better. Its only a few of the lower fan leaves so I'm not too worried about it.

Question 3, Whatcha Think? Here are a few more pics of her

I'll be more then happy to answer questions. oh and 1st grow for me! bongsmilie

Happy Smoking.

First of all, She looks really good! Second, the "burns" are only on the lower leave, 2 of my girls (out of 4) had a small reaction to the first Nute Treatment I gave them and I did not really notice it until there was more growth, I noticed that the outer edges of the leaves were "crispy." That being said... The wholes look a little more like insect damage to me, even with my pretty bad nute burn it was only on the edges..

yea i should put a strip out there to catch some of the bugs. i keep the plant out in an open spot of my corn field so im sure there is cyst nematodes and apfids lingering around.

here's some more info for anyone to gander at...
i started the seed (a femenized seed so i'm praying!) under a t5 jump start light in a rockwool cube then about 4 days later moved it to some 2700k and 3000k CFL's all 23w. I planted it in Fox Farm Ocean Spray with some perilite mixed in. I kept her inside under cfl's until it got about 86 degrees in the closet and I was ready to induce flowing after 2 weeks of vegging BECAUSE sour cream takes 10-12 weeks to flower and I want to keep her outside and harness the power of the sun for flowering.

they look pretty good to me m8.. i grew some sour cream awhile back now and i had some kind of nute def. with it as well.. it took me awhile to get it straightened out and it turned out to be huge by the time i got her into flower..
just to let you know ahead of time, the stretch on the sour cream is pretty extreme, about 3x the height of what it was when i put her into 12/12, and the yeild was pretty nice.. the smell was something really odd to me, had a sour smell to it but once i put her into my grinder, the haze smell really came out nicely..
the smoke was pretty well balanced between sativa and indica and lasted fairly long, maybe around two hours..
now back to your ?;s, lol.. i'm not sure how much stress is put on the plant by messing with the dark hours like that, but i would think it cant be the best thing for her.. maybe you could try and move the time back a lil to make sure that you are home everday to move her in and out if that is at all possible..
they look really good though, very similiar to mine at that point.. i really like the structure of that plant..

yeah I assumed it would grow about 4x the size once she flowered considering shes mostly satvia and her flowering period is 10 weeks +. should I have prepared better and potted her in something bigger then 3gal pot?
There still seem to be burn marks ... DSCF2381.JPGDSCF2382.JPG

I mixed 1/4 of the dose of flora micro and flora bloom and watered her with like 3 liters a week ago. since its hydro nutes i want to be careful...but am i being too stingy?

heres some more photos.

DSCF2390.JPGi removed 2 other lower brances that had wilted as well, i dont care about these cotyledons cause thats what they're suppose to do
DSCF2388.JPG blends in with the corn nicely huh
DSCF2389.JPG some more of the nicer top branches.
DSCF2384.JPG Last time i counted she had 10 sets of nodes.
DSCF2383.JPG ..nice white sneakers I know!

ummm what else to add...oh this is a free seed I got from the seed company fyi! this I am considering as my practice grow to make sure I know what I'm doing before I dive into my other seeds of nicer quality ( w.w. ak47, blueberry, lsd).

as far as the light cycle situation, I am in the process of hooking up a homemade cool tube. i had a sunleaves built in ballast 400 watt hps/mh system. But I took the ballast out and I am working on wiring it all into a nice little cool tube cause even with cfl's it gets way too hot in my designated grow spot. I am going to vent it up into my attic, where i will also bring in some fresh air eventually into the grow room. big plans in the future!

heyyy, i havent updated this in a while, im such a bad thread member. i have pictures but they wont show up in my computer when i try to upload SO i will have them up whenever i can.

all my nute problems are gone. nothin but green foiliage on my plant. one BIG problem i had was worms! i had 3 worms growing in my colas and they were leaving a brownish poop residue and thats how i found them. so i cut those colas off and no problems since!

and i have to say this is one sturdy plant...ive left it outside in constant pouring ran for 4 days while i was on vacation and i came back to her better looking then when i left. i have a rather poor schedule with her. somedays shes inside shrouded around clf's sometimes shes outside for days. and even with all this stress shes still getting more crystals by the day! no bug problems, some days its even been 95 degrees with 100% humidity and still she looks great! no signs of mold leaves dont look stressed.

about 5 weeks into flowering so at least another 5 to go.

hey guys thanks for the posts!

she is 2 ft tall. i was anticipating it to get bigger, but i suppose when i induce flowering 2 weeks into its life cycle thats what'll happen. but yeah im happy with how its going...especially it being a free seed. i cant wait to see how my other seeds are going to turn out. i have it inside under cfl's during these HOT days of summer, and man does she SMELL up the house. if i want to go bigger next grow i will for sure be investing in a carbon filter

quick question.....

is it too late to start co2? there are several diy co2 tutorials that i think even i can handle, but this far along in flowering will it still make denser buds?
