Need some HELP fast !!!

Is it a problem to change the way im watering them ?
I thought to give them only water wich i buy ( bottled), or should i prune the top leaves? Any sugestions ?

When I made my final transplant, into 10 inch pots that would be their final resting place to start the flowering cycle, I cut away about half of the feeder roots (you know the ones wrapped around the ball when you take it out of the pot) and then I cut slices though the tap roots with a sharp knife, from four directions. A little shot of root stimulator, they loved it. It was risky advice to follow for first grow. Nothing ventured- nothing gained! I didn't want them to be come root bound during flowering cycle. Anybody done this?

I did that too, but not to much only to stimulate root growing. I saw that in dvd that teaches you how to grow.

Hope it work's...

I dont think you should prune anything, like I said it looks like nutrient dmg and whats done with that is already done and cant be fixed. I dont think watering in any way is a problem unless it's water you feed your plants as soon as you ran from the sink and it's not even room temp or the pH isnt even balanced, other than that I dont see what you could be doing wrong except giving a nutrient strength that the plants dont like yet.

Thanks orangeman you are very big help to me...
Can i put them on flowering stage now or is it too early? I have a space problem and i heard they double the size on flowering stage. They are 4 and 6 weeks old. The sick one is 6

Well you can flower when ever you think it's ready because it depends on the grower and if they are satisfied with the size and all and if I were growing yes, I would flower now. Because it's said that once the plants start flowering it's possible they can double in size so they say when you prepare to flower do it expecting it to double the size it is at the moment and yeah to me it looks ready, also if it gets too big just prune it and you can sort of balance the size out.

ok i will do that, ill start tomorrow. Is there anything i should do before switching from 18-6 to 12-12 ???
I used hps 400w for veg. stage im planing to use it for flowering also.

There is something else, my plants pre-flowered can you determine are they females?

Those look like females to me, and you keep saying you use 400w for veg, but what bulb are you using? MH or HPS? and there is nothing you should do for switching but set a time for the change, I'd recommend 8 a.m-8 p.m .

Oh and yeah, try to give them more P than N and K during the flowering time, didnt know if you knew because you asked about what you should do and all.

The flowers will start futher up the plant, by the top nodes.

I use HPS bulb 400.
And thanks again, ill do it as you recommend from 8 to 8 starting tomorrow.

Hope they are girls would make me very happy...:dance:

Can't wait to see my first buds comin out

I'll keep you informed with pic's for everything :thumbsup: (and ask for help)

Well I could be deeply wrong but I'm pretty sure those other pics had a nute problem but if they were under a HPS light maybe that could be a prob too? It's stated that vegetating plants and seedlings grow better under the blue spectrum of light so a MH light or something would be used for that...If you ever get the extra $300 (lol) i'd recommend buying this.

I'm recommending it because if you were using HPS for vegitatitve unless you didnt know that MH is better or didnt have the money for two bulbs maybe your ballast doesnt support MH lights?

They mail in a brown box so unless some one is extremely nosy they wont know whats in the box and they send you the light already set-up with a timer if wanted and HPS or MH bulbs.
