Ok I know this is alot to digest but I figure more info better responce inregards to helping me!

I started these in paper towel they germ. for two days. I picked out the best 32 and started 4 trays of 8 in peat cups (apartments) with Mirical Grow Poting Mix and Rock at bottom for drainage.

Two weeks of natural sun light which I might add was only 5 hours of direct light and another 4 or 5 of indirect and the only light they have been getting and in that same time I watered everyother day and ferted 4 times (mostly folar) with regular Mirical Grow Plant Food at 50%.

After a total of 4 weeks I went and turned my storage shed in to their what I like to call HOME. I got 12 CFL 23w 6500K and rigged up a light rack with chain and hooks so I could move it! The bulbs are 3 to 4 inches from tops and two bulbs per plant. Temp has gotten to 90 degs. but not for longer than 4 hours usually from 85 at day and down to 65 during the night. The humidity ranges from 50%to 70%. I also got four 5 gallon buckets. Drilled holes, did the rock on bottom and mirical grow soil, picked out the 4 best looking ones took them out of the peat cup and planted them into the buckets. The rest I planted in to 2.5 quart pots with the peat cup still around them. I thought I was over watering was spraying leaves two or three times a day in small amounts. A friends that is older and has grown more veggies than me (no bud exp) said it looked like they were in need of water so I soaked the soil until it dripped out the bottom of the 5 gallon buckets and the smaller pots its been. Two days ago and now I have these issues one (The YELLOW lighting bolts is the older issue ((curling down of leaves)) the RED Arrows is the new issue((the white/yellow spots that turn in to holes))))

Please help with any and all information about what I maybe doing wrong!

The tallest plant is 11 inches and that is 6 weeks from being planted after germ. The average is about 7 - 9 inches but a couple are only 5.

****Also I had one of the plants in the five gallon bucket produce seed pods already I took it out and replaced it with the best looking one that was in the 2.5 pots. I noticed this about a week after I put them in the new house. To me that means that have moved into flowering already because of the short natural light period they had to start? Is this wrong?

I will admit I have not kept good record of watering or feeding of plants.

ALso the more I read the soil tester I have is crap! Its the kind where you put the soil in add water and mix with tables. What is a decent, better and best way to check ph and maintain.

ALso ALso, I want to THANK ANYONE IN ADVANCE THAT VIEWS AND RESPONDS WITH SOUND ADVICE!

I've seen some people complain about certain MG soils as they release nutes every time you water. I wonder if your soaking released a whole bunch (if that's the same soil as you have).

Total nub here too (with my own issues lol) so that's all I can offer. Good luck.

---------------========== ATTENTION YODA==========---------------

UPDATE: It is getting worse and I haven't attempted anything. The leaves of a few are curling up, a few are curling down and now the spots are turing in to holes.

-------------======= HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP ========---------------
-------------======= PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE =========---------------

check the airflow and maybe the ph. it should be between 5-6. if there are nutes in the soil then it's hard to flush them out. check and see whats in the plant problems section there might be sumthing similar

Ok well alot has happened since i posted at first!

The kids are now under 483w and a heater to keep warm. I am still debating on 2 150hps as I know they will become even more dense. Watering fine switched Distilled water (low 6.0 ph) no more issues with ph flux. also to MG Super Bloom, adding 1 tbl of molasase and 1tbl of hydrogen proxide 3% every watering. Started 12/12 about 10days ago. Down to 6 kids, 3 i know are female and I figure are indicia mostly, the last 3 i figure are mostly sativa because of slow signs of either male or female. Also the males showed quickly and ironicly were the smallest of the the surivors! I am hoping for only one more male but none would be great too! I started some CO2 ((yeast - one pack , sugar (2.5 cups in 5 cups of water), 1tbl molasase, 4 drops of vinigar as I read it will last longer with acidic ph and food (molassase) sugar isn't food it's more like meth to the yeast beast))

I have attached some photos before the switch! I will take some tonight or tomorrow and show you the new stuff!

Well all is well but me and the only other person to know(my alter ego) relized that. I started with 32 (natural sun) narrowed then down to 16 when I relised that, that was going to be way too many! Then 11 when I got my room set up! I gave two away, so now we are at 9 that I flowered. Out of those 9 I got 6, yes 6 females. THats' better than natures 50% rule actually 16% better than nature and I am all about it. No especial treatment to make them female (if there even are wayS), if any thing i was very rough on them as they were moved mulitplue time a day when they were in the natural sunlight as i had alot of shadows in my back yard and I thought i had to be direct light. Well still no photos and not much up date!

Girls As we now reffer to them are 15 days into flower and I am still waiting on one to show signs but yes I am counting it as a female already. I think its a mainly sativa since its been two weeks and still nothing a male would have shown signs already. my friend thinks that it will be the best out of them all but it is the tinyest. I promise i will get photos. I will try to take some monday when I get my camera back!

OH the yeast was a total hassel! At first there was too much liquid in the bottle and the bubbley foam it produced dripped all over my babies! I quickly got h2o and flushed the sites but I wonder if it will come back to haunt me with some type of but rot or fungus? I hope to find a small tank but its not a major concern I am more curious if I should spend the 55 bucks and get 2 - 150w hps so that these buds will be dense or should i spend it on somemore CFL and do some side lighting? ANy ideas! I know its my first but I want dense buds!

if thats what you can afford then go for it.
but for the amount of plants you have you are looking for more like 400watt
