one more thing anyone know how i can find what kinda strain this is?..
i dont know if you can tell by a pic but here ya go.. [attachment=o240536]

Looks like they might just need more light. you dont have very much light at all... you'll need more especially for flowering - otherwise you'll be stuck with a disappointing yield.

You may also need to up your feeding dosage slightly. you should try and keep track of the exact dosages so you can accurately adjust them as your plants get bigger.

It's very difficult to tell a strain from a picture, and impossible to if they have no buds since the buds usually have identifying characteristics. You CAN however tell if your plant is sativa, indica, or both by the thickness of the leaves. yours looks to be a bit on the indica side with some sativa characteristics.

hope this helps.:jointsmile:

Thanks for the info what type i'm having trouble finding fl tubes that's are 2' I think I'm gonna have to invest in something bigger

[CptKushwreck]

So correct me if I'm wrong sativa has wider leaves and indica has long skinny leaves?..

[martyrprojekt]

Nobody is going to be able to give you an exact strain. Just not possible. It looks more indica...but, it is definitely a crossed strain.

With you plants...I expect my first set of leaves to die from seed. It just happens because your top leaves will always snuff out the bottom ones. The plants looks fine.

A great grower on here named weedhound once told me, " You can kill your plants by babying them too much. Once I let them grow on their own, I had far less problems. Let nature take its course. You are going to lose some leaves. It happens.:thumbsup:

I just purchased a 100w MH ballast and 2 bulbs hopefully that's cool for now and for flowering?...and I just got a tip from a grower about srtipping off the bottom 1/3 of the plant..
