You have weeds in your weed garden.

Be very careful with the Superthrive. It is strong and can hurt or kill your plants.
I don't like to say this but I had zero luck with cheap pH meters. They all lie. At least get either litmus paper or drops kit or calibration solution to check your meter. And do this frequently. In the meantime, try vinegar or orange juice. They should read about 3.5 pH.

Your plants look fine. Good growing.

This is week 2 they look good gave them some nuts an all is good

[mkworld]

can some plz explain to me what flushing is i was reading up on it but still unsure on wen to do it or how to do it.... also i was wondering when should i start flowering i was thinking maybe around the 5th week that i would turn them over to the 12/12 stage... i was thinking maybe veg them till they are 12-24 inchs tall to start flowering

[Shovelhandle]

flushing is running copious amounts of water through the medium. Usually three times the volume of the vessel. This is done to try and remove excess nutrients from the medium. Often this is done at the end of bloom cycle.

5th week sounds good, especially if you are going with CFLs. You need to have those lights very close to the bud sites so a plant starting at 12"+ may end up at 24"+ and that's a lot of area to close in on with CFL lamps.
