my first grow

If yellowing is caused by bad pH, it can stop them from living. Or at least reduce yield. Not saying thats what yours is caused by but I'd keep an eye on it. I just put a post in the plant problems area seeking help with my pH problem. Maybe when the experts chime in I'll learn something

If you don't already have a pH meter or test strips, get em now. In my opinion it is absolutely necessary to know the soil pH. It gets more important as the plants get bigger too.

they seem to be comin along nicely.
keep it up!

i might, does yellowing stop plants from producing flowers? thanks its pretty much a 195w=760w 12800lumen light fixture that cost me 30 bucks to make.

The more I think about it, the more I like it. I may use one for side and bottom lighting on my next grow. Hell, use some Y adapters and double the bulbs too.

yeah, i can find those socket plugs everywhere but i cant find anymore y adapters

more pics!




not that im going to, but just so i know, could i start flowering these now and how much if anything could they yield?

[dillhole]

You can start flowering at anytime. Some people use a 12/12 light cycle from seed but the yields are lower. Yields are impossible to predict.

If your plants haven't reached maturity yet and you switch to a 12/12 cycle, it'll take a couple of weeks before you see pistils/preflowers with most strains. If you wait until you see alternating nodes and preflowers they will start blooming almost immediately after switching the lights.

they all got bigger pots and a new grow area with more room to work with.
and they're starting to smell like weed. yay.:smokin:

they shelf theyre sitting on is removable so that gives me about 3 feet to grow vertical

[flourogrw]

are these pre-flowers?

[flourogrw]

this one is my favorite, its nice and bushy, and its leaves are short and fat, could this be indica, that would be awsome.

dude those babies are crying for the light!
got a hell of a strech
lower your lights and get those other CFLS above them.. you dont need side light for this stage..
and next time when you transplant them bury the stem into the ground to cut that strech.
