hey keep us posted man... btw just chill with the plants you have a while before you should flower yet... dont stress over them too much they will be fine

If you cant get it below 30 I take it that it's going over 30 quite a bit?

That is quite hot, you need to drop the temp by 5c or so, maybe get a bigger fan in there?

They are quite squat, but thats prob. because they dont have to stretch at all to get the light which is a good thing. You could drop the plants a bit lower and they would grow taller.

Give it another 5 days or so and start flowering.

Actually Khan, the average temp is around 31! The higher i got so far, was 33! The way the plants are doing, would it hurt them that much if i dont drop the temp to 25-28???
Later on today, new pics!!!

Today ive lowered the plants a bit like you told me to! I guess im gonna start flowering these saturday. The space issue is always a concern for me! By the way, 6 cool tubes ( 20w - 6700k - 1450lms) plus 4 warm tubes (20w - 3000k - 1550lms) would be ok for flowering???

3 of my plants are looking like these! any ideas on what could be causing it? could it be soil ph related? cause i havent bought yet a ph tester. im feeding the plants every 3-4 days with all purpose solution.
The affected plants are still growing healthly i guess, but how big of a problem could it become if i dont do anything.

The water ph is around 6.5 - 7.0! Is that ok?

you shouldnt have lowered the lights... thats only if you want them to stretch which you dont because you are growing in a semi-confined space... i would still wait for at last another week and a half or more if you can wait until flowering.. the more time they have in veg the more bud you will have man... they are your plants and its your call.. but chances are you will be disapointed in your end result unless you wait a little bit.. thinking about it i would wait another 3-4 weeks until flowering at their growth rate.. even if they were twice as big you will still have enouf room for flowering... about your problem maybe a nitrogen deficiancy im not sure... keep us posted

your water ph sounds perfect

[KHAN]

Looking at them they dont look like they've been lowered to much to me, they look in a fine position.

Your PH is fine, maybe too much nutes?

Some pics i took today!
By the way, i bought a ph meter, and the soil ph is around 6.5-7.0. Guess no need to worry there!
