ok Imma start being official with my info
Day = 19
Veg=19days
Light Cycle 24\0
I noticed the stretched leaves when i lowered the plants so i raised them back up. Like i mentioned before i replaced my air pump and now hav the type of air bubbles i was suppose to have in the beginning. I decided to take pics of everything i was using. I'm gone be honest and say that i think i was using the nutes to early. I've done some reading and i am unsure if my method of eeding them is right as well. I get a gallon of water from tap on thursday and let it sit at room temp (74) till sat. On sat i pour the gallon of water in a clean bucket and add 2.5ml of floranova and stir. i then measure with the ph meter ... note it and add 2.5ml of the cleanser and stir. Take a reading which is usually around 6.2 / 6.4 ..... (at first i thought this was ok, till then turned color) but now i use the ph down and get it to around 5.8 / 6.1 then i take the old out rinse the rez out a couple times then pour the whole gallon in the res. Take a reading, then place the plants back in. once i turn the air pump back on its hard to get a reading because its jumping around but it hovers around 6.0 .... every 2 days i used a water bottle to spray a mist of sitting distilled water. then do it again the next sat. This sat which will be the start of week 3 i plan on starting my flowering stage by cutting the lights for 24hrs then starting a 12/12 light cycle flushing with just ph'd water (6.0) for one week. ON that next Sat which will be Week 4, start with my bloom nutes. I can honestly say i hav been lack because of work but i will now pay full attention to everything. I don't really care how the GH Tai turns out.... but the Pineapple chunk and vanilla kush..... I've been having dreams about them. I wish there was some way i could smoke them for New years"....

While it looks like it's off topic, this is from another discussion of Antoine's problem that is being moved here.
Bone Meal is an organic fertilizer commonly available at garden and hydro stores. A 3lb box can cost as little as 5$ so it's pretty cheap. It also comes in large 20+ pound bags which usually costs half as much per pound. Most Guanos would also work well to fix your plants and can supply more N than the Bone Meal but are more expensive.
When solid fertilizers like Bone Meal and Guano are mixed into the soil, they slowly release some of their nutrients each time you water and will last awhile. Making them into teas turns that time release into instant release. This gives the plants more nutrients at once and can burn them more easily, so much less is used than when mixing them into the soil. Teas are made by taking solid fertilizers and soaking them in water for 1-2 days, depending on the process being used. The solids are then filtered out and you are left with a liquid containing all of the nutrients.
We use a little heat, just enough that the pot isn't really steaming, as well as frequent stirring to speed up the process. We'll put the covered pot on the stove for 6-8hrs with stirring, then turn the heat off and go to bed, letting the pot cool overnight. The next morning, I'll put it in the fridge for an hour or two until it's cold and then filter the solution through a piece of old, high-threadcount sheet fabric. It works well as a filter, getting most of the crap out without clogging easily, and they're washable. When the solution is cold, it can be filtered more cleanly because more crap will fall out of the liquid as it cools. There are threads on tea making in the Organics section.

Looks good so far,
From what I have learned, pay attention to the following and you will have great success.
- ph
- PPM/EC
- temp of both res and growing area
- distance from light source
All the rest is determined with experience and trial and error. We learned almost half of what we know now from this site alone I'd say. As you become a better grower and more confident, you will have your own "way" to do it.
Im subbed and ask me anything....I'll give you my opinnion, but its just that!!
Good luck and looks GREAT so far!

temp 22.5c
I turned the lights off for 24hrs and changed the water to a ph balanced 5.9 and added 2.5ml of the cleanser 2 days ago. I will adding 2.5ml of novabloom and i wanna try to get my hands on some advance nutrients for the lil problem i'm having with the pineapple chunk. I just been researching hps lamps and T5 lighting systems. i wanna start a flowering cabinet and just use my stealthy box for veg. Well here's some pics let me know what you think???

Some of the edges look a little brown and crispy but other than that they look ok. I have never grown under CFL's myself. What is your PH @? What is your EC or PPM?

the brown and crispy edges came from when i was still letting them grow in the box and they were touching the bulbs.... about 3 -4 leaves were affected. my ph has been around 5.8-6.0. and i haven't bought a ppm meter yet
