Specs:
2x4x7 Grow tent in closet
600W MH/HPS ..using HPS now for flower
440 CFM exhaust fan
Small inline duct fan that is put next to my vents on my room floor for when my home a.c its turned on...it really helps cooling (i keep the ac on a lot)

I also have a gallon container filled with a mix of active dry yeast, sugar and water hanging inside the tent so that co2 can be released..hopefully its working.

Using all fox farm nutes along with cal-mag/epsom salt whichever is needed at the time. I was seeing more signs of mag deficiency than cal so I used epsom salt a little. but my water has almost no nutrients to i have to kinda add cal-mag to it.

Veged for around 5-6 weeks, Started week 1 of flower on 3/11/12
Gonna start feeding molasses soon

They all look real good. Are they an emerald green? It looks that way, that's good! I only grow WW.
yeah they're emerald green...my blue mystic plant is dark green but i think thats from too much nitrogen in that plant, along with a mag deficiency.

Got a ph & NPK soil testing kit... my soils nitrogen levels were off the chart on my blue mystic plant. I flushed it today...kinda wish i hadnt watered it too days ago but now ill just really let it dry for about 5 days before I feed it again... Going to test my NPK levels on my white widows tonight and see if they are ok because im starting to see a lil bit of necrosis so im starting to believe all my plants are over-ferted but not too badly.

my grow tent is setup in a closet, but i cant close the closet door because cabling is in the way...but i can zip the grow tent door closed. The thing is sunlight comes into my bedroom from the window. Do you think this will have a big effect on my flowering process? The grow tent itself is completely closed tho...but im scared light may be seeping through the zipper or something

My blue mystic hasnt really started to flower...my 3 white widows are getting white hairs..but i really dont see anything sprouting from my blue mystic plants and im scared that the nute problems may have either slowed down its progression or caused it to hermie.

*UPDATE* Starting week 3 of flower now

My white widows look good. My blue mystic is constantly having problems, it seems as if i cannot please this plant...ive flushed it and im letting the soil dry out...idk how hard it would be to transplant a 5 gallon into another 5 gallon so i dont wanna try transplanting it into fresh soil... but I just might because I think my soil in that pot is having ph problems and I really dont wanna go out and get dolomite lime and stuff or do you guys think i should just transplant soil?

Here is a pic of the problem plant..its showing signs of multiple deficiencies so i believe I had nute lockout from bad ph or overfert because the leaves were curling down also...i flushed with 10 gallons...waiting for the soil to dry before i either replant or feed.

Question: if i transplant my plant into another 5 gallon pot with fresh FFOF soil, should I feed it? or will the soil have enough nutes?

Wish I could help with the transplant question, I'd say slowly get back to full strength, just to be on the safe side, just see how the plants adapt to the change and go from there, I'm definitley far from a know it all though. Good luck (even though I found this from another thread so you probably have already harvested)
