only water when the soil is completly dry. then water until you see some run off coming through the drain holes.

Allright. Sounds Good. Cuz Whenever I Go To Water. The Top Of The Soil Is Still Wet. Idk. Maybe Im Over Watering. But Would Think Mess Up The Flowering Cycle?

Overwatering doesn't generally cause yellow tips on the leaves. You can tell an overwatered plant because the leaves droop down like an umbrella. It's possible it's a nute issue, i.e. too much. I know cause I just did this on my grow, and within a couple of days had burnt tips.

Overwatering won't mess up the flowering cycle because that is controlled by the lighting schedule, not how much water you're giving the plant. I mean, you CAN kill a plant by watering it every day, but just make sure the dirt is dry down 2 to 3 inches in the soil, then water.

aight bro, aside from letting you know that capslock is not cruise control for cool...

you need to do some reading, I understand that you have a problem you would like to have fixed right now, but going off in all caps lock asking questions that have been answered dozens if not hundreds of times already elsewhere in the forums wont usually win you any friends or help

try using this Marijuana Growing - Search Forums and putting in "yellow tips", you will find 500 posts.

maybe not enought light for the flowering cycle.also the light should be in red spectrum.why don't you buy a small wattage HPS. It will activate the hormones in your plant like no other :)

well there 130 watts. true wattage is 2 25 and 1 30. the 2 25's are putting out 1850 lumens each and my 30 watt is putting out 2050 lumens. idk my homie has a 400 watt hps but i dont have the money to get a balist, how ever you spell it.
