this is my 2nd grow. using some bagseeds, pro-mix, 4 23w 6500k cfl's. Grow space is just under 4 square feet. Babies are about 16 days old. I'm noticing some brown spots on lower leaves which i think is from foliar feeding and leaving the lights too close. Any input would be helpful. Thinking of flowering in the next few days so i could hopefully have some high grade for christmas.

thanks for the advice. i think i'm gonna be hard headed and put them to flower sooner, hopefully they wud ripen in 7 weeks. See i have my hps coming in and some hindu kush seeds so i'm just warming up with these babies. But i think u r right.

Hey Sheppie,

They look good right now, but can I give you some reputable advice?

You should go ahead and transplant now, those babys will explode, and it is better to do it now then wait until problems arise. Also you will need to invest in more lights. It would be cheaper to buy 2 T5 HO flouro tubes than a bunch of CFLs, or you can just go HID.

Looks good, keep us posted, hope your clothes don't smell like pot plants. +rep

:peace:

yo blessamerica,

I have 4 more cfl's that i'm gonna add in a bit, 2 warm and 2 cool. Also my 150w HPS is sitting down in fort myers waiting for my buddy to bring it for me. I was gonna switch to 12/12 in a couple of days and i was hoping to sex them before transplanting ( they r in a soilless mix so i'm providing all the nutes with the water). What do u think?

Babies now 25 days old and going strong. switched to 12/12 5 days ago. No sign of sex as yet. Took these pics after watering so they look a lil droopy.they r all just under 12" now. Just waiting to throw out the boys, if any, before i transplant. What do u think? Any advice much appreciated.

They look great. If you don't mind me asking? What are you feeding them? How much are you feeding them? And how often are you feeding them. Thanks.
