New pics.

Any comments or suggestions? Watered them yesterday morning with 1/2 strength Grow Big, 1/2 strength Big Bloom, and 1 mL Superthrive. Won't give them nutes next time, but was wondering if Superthrive is good to use every watering?

those are looking real nice, and yea superthrive is good for every watering, some say its not good for flowering. i might start using it every watering to try and see if i get a noticable difference from one plant to the others

New pics. Still vegging. Still watering with 1/2 strength Grow Big, 1/2 strength Big Bloom, and 1 mL Superthrive. Some of the leaves look yellow but they're fine in person, it's just the flash from my camera plus the HPS..

I'm tempted to start flowering this weekend, but I'm wondering if I should wait a little longer to let them get taller? I know they will double in size during flowering, just want to get a nice yield.

Bump.

I'm curious about the G-13. It's got three blades on most of the leaves, and some are just one big blade. It doesn't look bad though, kinda interesting actually. Anyone know anything about this?

New pics tomorrow.

New pics! Took them out of the HPS for a minute.

I'm gonna veg them for another week. I'll be transplanting them into 3 gallon pots either tomorrow or Monday.

Still curious about the G-13. Anyone got info on this? Can't find much through google...

looks good. g-13 is u.s. gov engineered marijuana it is said to be the most potent strain ever. i think its a pure indica or something. ive never seen any seedbanks that have any seeds so i guess its clone only cus they do have many g13 crosses in the seed banks.

oh and if i were you i would definitely get a clone from each plant and label them. at harvest time you will know what you want to keep as mothers. if you have time and space you should start up a veg area. doesn't even need to be light proof, just use 24 hrs light

UPDATE!

Haven't had internet access for a while but I'm back now! I'm in week four of flowering. Its been good so far but I am having trouble with the shiva skunk. First of all the leaves are covered in what appears to be dust, and the leaves towards the bottom are mostly yellow and have brown tips. I've also had to remove many dead and unhealthy looking leaves. Is this root rot? And is there anything I can do to fix it? The lights are off right now but I will take some new pics in the morning to show what I'm talking about.

Well its unanimous that its powdery mildew. I picked up some SM-90 to help but first I have a few questions.

Should I spray with the light on or off?

Should I spray all the plants or just the one affected?

Will the spraying affect the flowers at all?
