this is my first grow, i have used cactus compost, miracle-gro for veg, and tomato feed for flowering, with an NPK of 5:5:10:. lights 20 watt/100 watt equivalent 5 of them. i know all my ingredients are not the best. but the plants did very well up untill now there between 2 to 3 feet tall, buds ever where. but i cant get them to thicken out, the buds that is . the plants are plenty thick, at least untill they lost a lot of leaves mainly one of them which lost 50% of her leaves. there are 15 weeks old and six or maybe seven weeks into flowering. please help in relation to the dieing leaves or how to thicken up my buds.

hows you're ventalation and have you got a fan on the go, remember w/widow is only a medium yielder. the tomato feed is a good one for buds if you're short of money, drop the m/grow unless its a outdoor grow. try and go ORGANIC even just for veg. good luck

right make sure you've got good ventalation (keep the closet door open when light is on) get a fan in (6in diameter at least) to keep the air moving round you're plants. thats why they're dropping leaves. best of luck man!!! :joint:
