Is the yellowing on new growth or old? if its on old dont worry about it to much unless it looks like its spreading going up the plant just keep an eye on it. If new growth is turning yellow that is very bad could be PH levels or some sort of deficiency. Since your using 5 gal buckets for clones you probly dont want to water them untill water comes outa the bottom so testing ur PH through your run off water with PH testing strips is going to be a bad idea. So go buy urself a PH pen.Your PH should be in the neighborhood of 6.0 to 7.0. If its way higher or way lower then that then thats whats most likely whats causing ur yellowing. Its also a good idea to test what ever water source your using cause eventually your soil will become the same PH as its water source. correct me if im wrong :P

Yea the yellowing is on the leaves that were either trimmed or they were old leaves that were already on the clones when i planted them. As far as the ph im not sure ive seen a lot of people suggesting a ph pen on other threads so i think it is about that time that i go get one myself.

And im using miracle grow soil.

Sitting here browsing the forums and im coming on my second week of veg and was just wondering if anyone has grown and flowered the strains that i am growing as well. i was also wondering what the flowering times were and if im going to need to harvest some plants before others or put plants into flowering at different times. so if any one has grown the strains listed below any insight on what the time range is and any info i might need to help them out as they get bigger as ive seen some plants need support in comparison to others. thanks in advance

Here is the pics for the end of the second week of veg. still running the lights 18 on and 6 off. got some good growth and im pleased. thinking about keeping them under that light period for 2-3 more weeks. some of the plants are starting to get full and blocking the light from getting to the rest of the plant so im going to go buy some cfl bulbs and hang them between the plants. let me know what you guys think.

Alright here are some pics for the mark of the end of the third week in veg. not sure how much longer i should veg still before flowering i was thinking another week at the rate that they are growing. They are all about a foot tall if not more an with flowering im assuming that they will double in size. let me know what you think and when i should flower. Not saying that i want to flower asap i mean for all i care i could go another month just want to see everyones opinion

Watering schedule seems to depend on the temperature of the room and how dry the soil look and if they look thirsty. usually about a water bottle full every other day but if its warm and the soil looks dry enough for more then ill go ahead and go every day

lights are working pretty well dont know what to do about the shade leaves they seem to be blocking a lot of light from the lower side of the plant so any input on techniques used in that area are helpfull.

Thanks in advance.

Dude you got them in 5 gal buckets i would at least veg them till they are 25+ inches tall or all that dirt you got them in wont even get used. :jointsmile:

i thought this looked familiar....i have almost the same grow setup goin,if you look at the picture here, i've made clips to connect them(hanging lights) together,reducing 1 chain each...the CFL's are on the opening side of the closet,however i'm considering adding another bank of lights(like a tanning booth)bringing the total lumins to 34,800 at 384w........ur grow looks good to me...i guess i'll be looking in every now and again...:thumbsup:
