    Har Har: Looks like you've got primarily an Indica strain going in the second thumbnail from the left on top.

    If you're using good soil, go easy on the fertilizer. Miracle Grow is often the choice of newbie growers and it's good for a couple of months right out of the bag, but don[t over water it. Water by "the first knuckle rule," If you're into the dirt to the first knuckle of your index finger and it's dry then you need to water.

    You'll want to consider a schedule like: water, feed or water, water feed. Put drip pans under your pots and don't over water until they start to fill like most people do. You'd probably be surprised by how little water your plants really do need.

    You might want to investigate the Eco Pots out of Arizona. If you like to grow in dirt it's pretty hard to screw up with the Eco Pots. They're self watering by capillary action up. You have a fill tube at the top and a reservoir in the bottom, a separating plate, a couple of inches of vermiculite to hold the water and attract the roots down to it and a 20% perlite and 80% good potting soil mix. My plants love it.

    If that reflection in your pictures is because you're foliar spraying your plants don't do it with the lights on. Those little beads of water become magnifying glasses and they'll heat stress your plants. You might also want to try half strength fertilizer for a while to see how they like it. I hope this helps.

    HSA they helped a ton thankyou very much, what is a good setup for the CFL's where i can get most lights possible without having extension cords running everywhere?
    We now have the lights arranged properly where they are both about 2 inches away.
    We are setting up for flowering tonight as well.

    yikes, no wonder your bottoms of your plants are looking so sparse. they're getting absolutely nothing light wise. you may want to take the plant out of that tin foil rubbermaid and just set it under the lights. Or trim some veg off. The plant is looking good, but it definitely isn't getting enough light.

    Also, a 3500k cfl doesn't really have much in the color spectrum for your plants to use. Sort of a useless bulb. If you're in flowering I would invest in another 3000k or lower bulb 2700k is your best bet, your light looks way too blue right now to be flowering ready.

    also, that plant close up you posted of the stems looks like a boy. you may be SOL buddy.
