Well I think I figured out the basics, all input will be greatly appriciated.
Started from seed on march 23, 09.
followed the AG guide
the h2o ph was indeed a little high at 6.0, got it down to 5.7, today they will get new water and their first small nute tab, yes AG nute tab, until i can get some fox farms. I currently have 6 plants(waiting on my other AG) to move some out. as i mention last night here are some pics. If you guys(gals) notice the light brown color leafs(first leafs) will that be because of ph or something else?
lighting, using AG light on the lowest setting, along with 4 26w cfls daylight "man that shit is bright"
photos in album, thanks to all for the knowledge
 
sounds good man, you should post the pics in here, start at 1/4 a nute tab and work your way up

Thanks for the reply bro, i'm still trying to figure out the pic thing i will as soon as i doo
 
looks like a kind of defficiency to me... go to the help section and look into the different defficiencies you might get your answers there. looks like the leaves are growing out nicely though, would hate to lose those little babies!
 
sicc, do you think something like poland spring or any botelled water would give me a steady ph, right now for 1 gal of filtered h2o i got to drop 1 tblsp of ph down, dude by the way thanks for your help the bet of luck with ur new grow
 
No problem man, spring water has a lower pH but its still pretty high, jus keep the pH under control,
 
Well it's been 4 days and must admit now that the is under control they are looking healthy. One on them is taking off quite nicely, also they are drinking lots of h20, i'm starting to store h2o with diluted nutes on hand. it has also started to smell like vegetation in the area thaty they are in. they seem to be liking the 18/6. i just atrted to read up in topping just to be prepared, if some has topped before icould use the info, to asure that my smoking ass gets it.. and by the way Happy Ether!!
 
well here is another update.. 2 days ago I topped the ones that were ready to be topped. today, I started to see the main stem(cola) split in to 2. man this shit is scientific and pretty amazing.Sicc again good looking on uncle bens tech for topping worked out pretty good. sorry for not posting new pics, i got the kids this week(spring break) and they follow me around wich leeds me not to have a lot of time.
 
got some new pics up, and also looking for some advise on how to properly use a ppm meter.. and looking to upgrade on the nutes from the AG nutes to something a little better like Fox Farm, BC, General hydro, something better pros, cons, advise?
 
i'm trying to get pics up, lets see if it works.

just a small update....bongsmilie...things are going good, keeping the ph low has been doing some great things. I'm also still using the AG nutes, about 1 1/4 disolved in airated h2o. I'm also maintaining the ppm's around 770 the plants seem to react well to it...bongsmilie...the big one has finally touch the hoodlight, i ha to lift it just a little more(had to nigrig) to be able not to lift them to much....bongsmilie....I'm gonna start flowering next week and I do know to swicht to 12/12 with soft white lights but im not clear wether to leave the AG hood light on or not? here are some new pics...bongsmilie
