New grow with T-5... advice needed!

decided to pull the trigger on some better lighting and nutes...
2'x8' closet
hydrofarm 4' 6 bulb 54W 6400k lighting
2 GAL pots
MG potting soil
2'x4' plastic bin
24" oscillating tower fan
botanicare pure blend pro grow vegetative formula 3-2-4

running 18/6 light cycle 6am-12am
lights hung 6" from tops
watering every other day

strains are 3-white widow 1-OG diesel clones. approx 2-3 weeks old?




white widow 8"


OG Diesel 11"

the OG Diesel is growing alot of big pods with trichs already.. is that normal?


any advice would be appreciated! ill keep everyone updated on this grow w/ pix

yeah, thats fine for it to have preflowers, all my clones do. you can check my sig if you want.

Any other advice on how to make this grow successful this time around?
2 48" flouro tubes and 4 68w CFL's with Alaska fish fert didn't work out too well lol

well, flouros never did me much good either, click my signature, I made my whole room pretty cheaply and it is very efficient.
I would recommend getting HID's at some point. they make an incredibly noticeable difference.

well im on day 6 of the new T-5 lighting.. ive seen good amounts of growth in a short time...



noticing a few leaf problems... fert burn? nutrient toxicity? overwatering?

Well.... From the advice at the guy at the hydro shop, I flushed the soil with safergro pestout.. Clove oil and garlic with molasses, and cut off all the leaves with spots. All the leaves are now getting really wilted and dark looking. Doesn't look very good.

... and they just fell over and died... put em in a body bag. better luck next time i guess.
