what are you feeding them? Looks like your getting some yellowing from lack of nitrogen, keep feeding veg food for the first 2 weeks into flowering
 
All im doing is feeding them as it says in the leaflet i got with them, im using 20ltr of water so just douobling the amount of nutes as the leaflet is just for every 10ltrs.
 
If I noticed that happening to my ladies here is what I would do, First I would flush, flush ,flush and then hit them with a full dose of veg food, should stop the yellowing. Do you check your PH?
 
yes check ph, bin dead on 6.0 to be fair, have water in my tank for 48hrs before i use and also have a bubbler in there to help with airation.
All i do is add nutes, check ph, leave for an hour, check ph again then water if ph is still ok
 
ya but usually when you get yellowing in the first stages of bloom its due to people starting their bloom food to soon. In my case I had a bad water and ph issue and this happened to me. Found out my water was causing a nitrogen lockout
 
to be fair the first watering i did was a little low on ph, was around 5.5, would this have caused the yellowing???
Do you think the yellowing is that bad???
Gutted now cause thought they looked the bollocks for me first attempt!!!! haha
 
dont worry S

You have 23 under 2 400w you are bound to get some prob's with some.

depending on their position under your lights some of them may need stronger nutes and some may need less. You've done great fella and because you're in coco YOU NEVER FLUSH to treat problems you only need to adjust EC going in.

This is now where im up to, some of my plant seem to be showing signs of being males, i take it little balls around the stem arnt what i want to be seeing?????
 
little balls clustered together are males.

A single ball with 2white hairs is female.

try not to keep pulling your plants out to check roots you can do it by gently squeezing the pots and looking down inside.

Here are a couple of pics of a couple of little branches ive cut off, ive also removed the larger leaves to make easier to photograph and identify, do these look like males to you all??????
I think judging by Js discription they are, totally gutted, have my crop are males!!!!!!

They look like balls to me.

Put your camera on to macro mode. If you look on the camera there will be a dial or something to switch the camera into whats called macro mode. The symbol of it will be a flower, turn you camera to this mode and take a close up shot of the nodes to be sure.

But from the angle and the formation it looks like balls dude!

My plant had/has whatever is going on with your plant there in the second picture. I flushed the pot and am going at half-strength on Tiger Bloom....general consensus was it was burn from too much, showing up on the serrated edges like that
 
Im in coco so cant really flush pal, got to get the right ec really rather that flush. never noticed the serrated edges before just bin more concerned with the balls i thinkim seeing!!!!!
