got a couple yellow spots but i think there getting better not worse? i also have lady bugs there not hurting anything are they? i can kill them all day and more come.
if u mean lady birds red n black spot things , they wont harm your grow and indeed they eat spider mites , which is good :)

they are in expert gardener garden soil i had, and perlite i had to buy.i am using MG quick start right now but will switch soon to something better. i had 2 125w 6500k cfl's and 2 blue 125w plant life bulbs in the round reflectors ,until i had $ to get the mh i have now.i have a roll of dollar store wrapping paper that has the mylar inside for the bottom to send light back up.right now i'm doing 24 hours light.in a few weeks i'll go to 18.

anything i can do better and stay cheap$$ ?

when they started getting yellow i was on water only,, because the soil had nutes now i'm using 50% of what the bottle says and they seem to be getting better.

looks good! on the ones that you didnt top try pinching (lightly) the top growth this will slow down stretching and help promote bottom growth
