Alright guys so this is my first grow. I wish I would have started this at the beginning but im still a little sketched out since I don't get to be in a med state like most of you. This is all for personal use though...I'm not out trying to make money...so 5-0 leave me alone ^_^.

For my setup I'm using a 4X4X7 DR120, 1000W MH/HPS combo thats aircooled, 470 CFM hydrofarm 6" inline fan and a phat filter carbon filter. Keeping this as simple as possible my first time around.

So I ordered 10 nirvana master kush fem seeds and 5 pineapple express fem seeds from attitude and germinated them in jiffy peat pellets. got 13 out of 15 to pop and grow so we were off to a good start. Once all of them shed off their seed husks I moved them to 16 oz cups filled with some miracle grow seedling mix (horrible soil btw dont use it ever). I would have gone with something without any nutrients but i couldn't find anything around here so that seemed to have the least amount.

Now here I am at about 2 1/2 weeks...just transplanted my ladies into 3 gallon pots full of FFOF. Everyhing is going well except for the bottom leaves on like 2 or 3 of my plants turning a yellowish brown. It may be from where they have been sitting on the soil but I'm still a bit worried. 3 of the ladies i haven't transplanted yet...I ran out of soil...and the hydro stores here close before i get off work so i have to wait another day before i can move the other ladies over. I'll get some pictures of how they look currently. Its been very rapid growth so far.

First question for all my new viewers though....should i start low strength nutes? Right now I'll be watering about every 3 or 4 days. As far as the ones in solo cups they get watered around every other day. The guy at the hydro store gave me a new line of nutes for free to try out for him and report back if they do well. Theres a huge underground growing scene here and I had noooo idea.

I'll get some up later. All new growth looks good...but a little lime green so im thinking nitrogen maybe? And as far as light I'm vegging under a 1000W MH. The light is like 3 feet above the plants though...didnt want to give them too much light untill they harden off. Temps are between 76-82 during the day and low 70's to high 60's at night.

In my opinion (i'm more of a organic grower) i'd wait a few more weeks. The fox farm soil should have plenty to get them nice and fat. Give them a couple of days to adjust, i bet you will see a big difference.

Eh anyone else have ideas with this browning? I'm starting to see brown spots on more leaves...but i don't see any bugs or anything. I'll take more pictures here in a couple hours. And the bottom leaves of a few of the plants almost look completely dead. Also is it normal for the main stalk to look like its peeling?
