They look fine.
I would nip the top out of them.
You will need some more light for flowering.

Ye, there doing great. Cheers man! Prob top them fri/sat by the looks of things. Will tie them down then as they progress.

At the moment there in a small enough space while there vedging, When there big enough they will be going into a small tent under a 250 or a 400 hps. I iwas thinking a 400 and run a cool tube instead of a 250 under the batwing i have already.

I was going to try out a dwc setup after i take cuttings, money as a tad tight at the moment so im just picking up a few bits as i go along. You need so much shite for this indoor lark! haha. Outdoor you just keep a eye on them and a lash of water/nutes every now and again.

No end on spending money on growing stuff. Start with the essentials. Lights, extractor fan. circulation fan.heater, dehumidifier no end......
More light more bud go with the 400 600 dim-able are my fav.

Personally i think cfls are great for vedging, I have a total ghetto set up at the moment but so far there looking happy and growing fast. Few square 10cm pots, unknown compost from a friend, the usual craic haha.

I have never been to fussy when it comes to growing plants, any old nutes from the shed will do for vedging and early flowering, I think the last few plants I grew the one in my avatar was straight up mirical grow then bio bloom, kept them nice and green, no issues what so ever. Indoor theres a few more issues to deal with like air flow and light.

No way would I put a hps of any size in my closet, its 40x40x90. So a tent seems the only option when they need one. Might just vedg in the closet under the cfl, top and tie, get a small tent and a hps and scrog them for 2-3 weeks, then flip them. I dont think ill go any bigger than a 400w with a cool tube and sure I can run a few cfls aswell. Theres feck all heat off them.

I simply dont have the space for a 100x100 tent or a 80x80 even, I might have to go with a 60x60x170. I suppose if i want a decient yeild ill need to do a fair bit of vedging, all the topping and bending takes time.

CFLs are great for vegging, they are OK for flowering but you will not get good yield. I did a lot of CFL grows,
Vegging time directly relates to yield. Most breeders recommend 6 weeks.

I will be vedging for a good while. Mabie another 6-8 weeks depending on how they are doing. The last plant I grew outdoors I topped and lst her, I plan on kinda doing the same thing but with a few more tops and a scrog net.

The closet will be kept for coning and a bonzi style mother, I will only be taking 4-8 clones at a time so I dont see the point in having a big heffer in there. The cfl be be grand to keep her and a few clones going. I will be chucking a few clones outdoors for the craic too... :weed:

Heres a snap of the girl from a few years ago, pitty she got a bit moldy and had to come down early. She was nice. She was a Dutch Passion - Hollands hope, topped, lst'd and lollypop'd.

Hollands hope is a good outdoor strain, still while our climate is good for outdoor growing the humidity will get you
Did some passion No1 before outdoors same thing with mold.
Autos are better as you can flower in summer.

Dont start to feed again.
May be you flushed too long depending on what product you used.
Yellowing is normal as the plant is using its last resources to flower.
methinks she need more time flowering
