Well the plants seem to be looking a little better.
The larger purple plant has perked back up a little and the three little purple plants are putting on some nice growth.
The temps have been the same as always, 76-78°F with lights on.

First set of pics will be of the larger purple plant.
She is 12 weeks 2 days old and is full female as of right now.
If anyone has any suggestions as to why she isn't looking the greatest please let me know.
I love learning new things and getting criticism so don't hold back.
Here are the pics:









These next few pics will be of my 13 week 2 day old church clone.
She is growing the most out of the bunch.
Here are the pics of her:









This pic is of the roots on my diy ebb and flow plant.
The roots are coming in nicely I would say:



Here are the other three purple seedlings, two soil and one diy ebb and flow.
They are all 1 week 6 days old and have been in flower for 1 week:







Here is an overview of the flowering box.
If you look closely you can see all the plants.
The church is in the back left and the larger purple plant is in front of her.
The other three are to the right:



Now here are some pics of my veggie plants I have going under my 2 bulb t-5 fixture.
The plant on the left is jalapeno peppers and the one on the right is eggplant.
I took out the rooted mosquito plant and habanero peppers and planted them both in soil elsewhere.
The root shots are in the same order as the other pics, JP on the left and EP on the right.
Last pic is of a giant eggplant leaf next to my favorite 14.4 molino slide:









Alright everyone let me know what you think and if you have any questions, comments, or suggestions feel free to post. Thanks all and happy growing :leaf::peace:

Always like the branching you produce Tom.
They look great.
As for the problem I still reckon it's a Mg, Sulphur or Iron deficiency.
I know your running cal/mag so how much of the other trace 2 elements does that vast selection of ferts you have contain?
Also how's the PH of your water and soil, maybe somethings getting locked out?

Thanks for stopping by buddy
As for the pH, I am still waiting on calibrating solution so my meter is kinda useless for a few days until the 7.0 and 4.0 solution get here.
I don't think that it is iron because the nutes I gave them have some in each.
But now that I look at it I might be lacking a little in the sulfur department because out of the four different nutes I gave them only the BC Bloom contains sulfur at 0.0072%.
The sugar daddy that i have contains 1.75%...
Do you think that maybe adding some Sugar Daddy to up the sulfur levels for the next feeding would be a smart idea?
Thanks again man bongsmilie

I'm using a digital ballast and cool tube. The first post has the light I am using above the fan. Thanks for stopping by bud, I hope you enjoy

Tom, I'm on board for this grow...

I dig your style man!!! I read though the 250 watt grow club (about 90% of it) and you there at the end when you upgraded, pushed me to order the 400 watt ballast.

Looking forward to the Grow!!!

Yeah I think you should give it a go.
I'm not really familiar with that additive but it can't hurt 'em can it?
I can tell you my Canna nutes have:
11% SO3 Sulfur trioxide
4.5% Mg
0.6% Fe

hey man.. i got the same ppm meter.. do you ever have problems calibrating or does its calibration screw up from time to time... mines hard to calibrate because everytime i barley turn the screw driver it jumps 300 ppms... also i have the awesome bloosoms but dont use it much... any advise for using it? how much and when do you add it?
