New Grow Journel, Fotos need commenting

First off, thankyou rollitup and all its helpful member for posting so much useful information.

The main purpose of this thread is so that i can hopefully get some comments on how to grow more efficiently, be blunt, be honest, dont hold back i need all the help i can get.



EQUIPTMENT IM USING:
Temp in my area is in the 80's but the real battle is with the humidity which can go up to 90% sometimes, i average around 65% RH tho inside the room. some days it will stay at 70 the whole time tho. other days i can knock it down to the golden RH 55%


LIGHTS
250 watt metal halide, 4 flouressent bulbs (70watt), and a 50 watt LED a friend gave to me. (10 un-sexed-plants are under the lights)

SOIL+Ferts
I did it... i know it shouldnt be done, but my budget and time limited me to buying Miracle Grow Potting Soil and some plain top soil. I did however drop the 40$+ to get Fox Farm's 3 reccomended ferts. (growbig,bigbloom,tigerbloom)


Ventillation
The room that the 10 pots are in has two windows, so i have one airtight fan blowing air in and one blowing air out. also i sometimes use a dehumidifier because its been reaching 90% RH around here.

Strains: I had collected some seeds earlier in the year from different stuff i smoked so theres a mix of Lemon Kush (from florida) headies (from MA) and the rest im unsure of.

GENERAL INFO
The largest two plants are 4 weeks old and the smaller ones are around 3 weeks, im unsure of why some seem to be growing so much faster. ( you will be able to see them when i upload photos).
I just started adding1/4 the reccomended dose of grow big and big bloom.
Im worried that after 3-4 weeks my plants are too small but im not sure. OH!, important note: i just Fimmed my plants who had enough stalks for it and the new growth is only 2 days old so the new tops havnt arrived yet.

this should be enough info to start with, now to the photos...

Those babies look fantastic. And with the MG soil at least 3 if not 4 weeks before nutes. I would start with just the Big Bloom for the first feeding or 2 (1 tbsp. gal/4L) then slowly work the Grow Big in (1/4 tsp gal/4L) Feed, water, water, feed, water, water. Shit, you probaly already know that!
 
thankyou cowboy, Are you sure 1 tablespoon of big bloom isnt too much for plants that are new to ferts? Ill give it a go on a few of them and record results
 
updating the fotos this friday or sat, turns out i origionally topped my plants wrong (didnt cut enough off) but now that their fixed im happy. as soon as the new tops look strong (in about a week im guessing) im turning the lights to 12 12 and then sexing will start.
 
ow ow those babies look faaantasttiic!! you're doing a really great job growing those girlies up nice and strong, i'm sure everybody who's helping you out is so proud of youu ;)

make sure to post a picture when those girls drop their pants

idk if you have anybody around to sing to them, but make sure you do. i heard it helps

good work
love from the ganja queen
 
so here its been about 10 days since i topped my plants and as u can see it worked out quite nicely. My babies are outside because my metal halide light broke and i thought they would be better off outside while i get my replacement bulb, anyway here are the shots of my best 3 plants (the other 7 can wait for more indoor shots)

damn man those are sum beutiful plants u got there:weed: whats the strain?keep up the good work!!!!
 
the strain is unknown, bagseed i got from smoking all over new england... they are all different seeds too, i had a little pill container full of all the mids, indoors, white widow, and if im lucky one of the seeds was bubba kush from florida. i do however have to watch for hermies :|
 
Its day 4 of flowering and my first female has shown up, the others are still undetermined but im really hoping one of my big 4 is a girl, i got 2 ok sized ones, and 4 small ( 10 total plants) which im forcing all to flower, because its so late in the year and i want to see the difference in quality and production with early/mid/late forced blooming. the 3rd pic u can arely make out white hairs of one of my medium sized plants, i named it patty :P after some1 i know. the second to last foto is a untopped plant that i dropped while carrying and had to reroot it so i decided topping would only furthur slow growth, i have pretty much everything taken care of EXCEPT pH which is a problem cuz im afraid im getting nutrient lock. To avoid nut lock i have been feeding them a little less than half the suggested dosage per gallon. the last foto is just a pic of one of the most amazing grls i no in my room :) <3 anyway, if anyone wants to take a stab at the strain types fee free, the only info i will be able to tell is after i smoke it.... wheather its a sativa or indica. how many weeks in is it expected to see balls of males?
