Well, the guys and girls (don't know their sex yet) are now 30 days old and I'm going to start flowering them in 3 or 4 days. Most of them are now starting their sixth or seventh node and 8-13 inches tall. I originally potted them in 3 quart pots filled with 60% miracle gro and 40% perlite, but have been in 6 gallon pots with scotts potting soil with added phosphorus (back says 0.01% i think). I didn't want to mess with them too much since this is my first grow, so I only LST'd two of the yesterday and both seem to be looking good! Might do a few more tomorrow. Also, I noticed a little bulge at the base of a node, does that look like the beginnings of a preflower?

I haven't given any nutes besides 1 tsp/5 gallons epsom salt during the last watering (heard miracle gro doesn't have any magnesium in it). When should I start with bloom nutes? I'll be watering them right before I switch to 12/12, should I add them half strenth then and then full strength there on our or wait til the watering after to start adding bloom nutes. Was thinking about adding some Raw Sugar (Turbinado sugar) to the water during flowering. Anyone have any experience or knowledge about adding sugar to the water?

I've noticed the tips of some of the plants are starting to turn yellow/white. I was thinking it might be nitrogen deficiency since I haven't given them any nutes yet. Also, one plant has one of it's leaves developing brown spots. I've attached some pictures below, including the a picture of the brown spot leaf.

Getting excited to see some flowers on these guys! Let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions.
