What lights are you using? Have you said? My 1k hps I keep about 20" up. Also when your vegging put your lights up to 24hrs. They grow good and then 2wks switch to 12/12 for about 9-10wks. Your elec. bill isn't going to show it.
Take some white paper plates, cut to the middle and at the middle make cuts like a star and then slide one on each pot careful placing the plant in the middle.
This will reflect some light back and also stop the fugus flies.
Also it REALLY is all ph. You must control it at 6.8-6.2

I just looked at your ac. Is the back of it throwing out hot air? It looks like it should be vented. Build a small cardboard box around the very back of it not the sides, and vent this out your room. 90 is to hot for the plant's trichromes to finish.

Here is the update for the week. You'll notice the plants are coming along nicely (the yellowing tips cleared up) and I added a 2nd tent for clones/vegging (4 t5 cfl's). One of the bag ladies (top right) snapped as I was trying to LST her so I got 3 clones from her instead of 2

First of all, thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions!
Now, on to the update for the week. I started using Liquid Karma last week and I definitely noticed a growth explosion as you'll see in the pics. Keep in mind I took 2 trimmings from all 6 plants AND the top right split in half as I was trying to LST. I'm in the middle of a reservoir change and this will be the last week of vegging. I'm going to run full strength nutes & LK for the next 2 weeks (1 week of flowering will be on the veg nutes) and then switch over to flowering nutes. Is this a good/bad idea? Should I instead change to flowering nutes as soon as I switch the lights?:jointsmile: :jointsmile:

Wowzers! The babies are growing fast! Here are some close ups of the bud spots during the last week of their vegetative growth (flowering kicks in this Sunday! I'll be switching from 18/6 600wMH to 12/12 600wHPS)
How's it looking so far? :rasta::jointsmile: :jointsmile:
