Just Getting the hang of it!!!

red petiole is either S def or strain related. my MTF have them but are healthy. If the leaf veins also start to show reddish, it's DEFINITELY needing some Sulfur.

You could use a HPS400 for the kids. Tehy will thank you.

Everyone, JA's habit of taking pics from the side AND top is a good one to get into for diagnosing problems!!! It makes things SO mcuh easier to see the structure, condition of low leaves, condition of new growth, etc.

Thanx stinky, I would love a 400 w HPS but I don't know even where to get one.... Most of my stuff is free...cause right now I broke...but when I get some money I make great setup!

I had to kill Skinny...it was a boy, lil' piff stopped growing(dorment stage)?

And besides theses spider mites I found today.... The family is looking good,just starting to bud...I keep messing with the 12/12 so I think they were a lil confused but now they are getting the hand of it....

I pretty sure I went threw a few problems tho: N def., S def., cal def. a little over watering....lost some leaves....and now I for the first time I have spider mites(just great) I'm bout to find a way to kill them though...they make me feel itchy:jointsmile:

Spider mites can be very dangerous for your plants. They can wipe your crop out. Adress immediately.

spray your plants with a very strong mixture of habanero peppers and water for the mites... have you thought looking at lil piff's roots?

For lights, try High Tech Garden Supply. You can get a 400-watt HPS for like $130.

After reading that first post about the mites I freaked out and sprayed them with some soapy water (dawn).... well the plants didn't die and it "looks" like it killed most of the spider mites but I still see them...
*so I'm gonna try this pepper juice you speak of......
*Yeah! I'm about to check the roots on lil piff ... I was thinkin the same thing
*Thanx I'll book mark that site and get one as soon as possible

Thank you everyone for your input......Luv you guys:thumbsup:

I REALLY needed some help! Peace & Happiness:hippy:

your only solution to more light is well, to buy more! :)
in your situation a HPS light would be ideal and give you the biggest buds....but you say you're poor so really your only option is more CFLs.....

sider mites.....neem or einstein oil. I read a post awhile back where someone swore by those hot shot pest strips you hang......just turn off your circulation for a day and let the chemical in the strip build up and thats it.....for your garden you might need 2 or 3 of those, but I have never tried those strips.

wherever you live look up Hydro or Nurseys .... if you can find a nice Nursery or an actual hydro store you will have access to the best products (soil, nutes, pest control)
you can also order online from say BGhydro.com but obviously you know the risk I'm sure of ordering shit online when growing.....maybe have a friend help you out there

good luck man plants are looking good, just take care of the mites ASAP!
