Well I haven't been on here much and just read your post. Lol I bumped my ph to a 6.1 and had some problems with the first set of leaves turning a bit yellow on the ends. And it just stopped growing for like 3 weeks. Don't know why? Buttttttt I clipped the ends of those leaves. And it's growing more and more every day now! In 6 days I've gotten 2 full sets of leaves. I will post a pic tomorrow. Maybe someone can help me identify the type of plant?

Eh these were bag seeds so if it don't with out, hey it don't work....no biggie
Mate! Those are looking good! Lessen your doubts.
If you are still vegging, you could top the plant every two nodes or so - you'll get a nice, short bush with an even canopy.
Are the roots comming out of the bottom of the pots now? The plants look old enough that they should be.
What is the clearance between the top of the water from the bottom of the pots?
Do you have an air stone/bubbler?
peace

I actually just switched to flower, I don't want it to tall, i topped once. The roots are massive, they are down to the bottom of the bucket!
I have the water pretty far down Maybe 3 gallons in a 5 gal bucket. I run two bubblers in the bucket with an air thing from Walmart

So I've been on 12/12 schedule for about two days now, and it sprouted like a weed!! Didn't compensate and had one of the tips of the to leaf burnt (whoops).
I swapped out my CFL bulbs to the 2700k ones, running four of them. Will this be enough??? Or should I get more. The room it's in is pretty big, just a crawl space, and I have Mylar backspalash behind the plant.
Will post pics here in a few of the roots, growth maybe can share done knowledge for a rookie?

The 2 days on 12/12, is probably not what caused them to grow fast. More likely the roots got big enough to do that.So I've been on 12/12 schedule for about two days now, and it sprouted like a weed!! Didn't compensate and had one of the tips of the to leaf burnt (whoops).

The plants will tell you if you have enough light. If they keep reaching for the light (long spaces between nodes), not enough light. I grow with T5s, and haven't been able to identify a visible benefit from changing to 2700k. Consequently I leave my 5k plus tubes in for the whole run.
Reality is that more light means more bud, and the more compact the buds will be. Of course, if you make too much heat.....you'll just cook them, or spend more money to cool the room. lol
You can spend lots of money to make more, bigger, better, tighter buds. However it's not normally a total failure if you don't 'hit the mark'. IF you are trying to pay the bills from it then you should know that you have probably made a mistake (tongue in cheek), already. As a hobby spend time with the plants and learn from what they tell you. I bloom 3-4 plants at a time, and even though I 'share' with friends and family. My jars always seem to have plenty in them..... and the cookies are ready to be baked.
Your plants do NOT appear to be 'leggy' so I'd say they will survive nicely with the amount of light you have on them. Although
, I'd probably add a couple more, just in case. As far as nutrient goes 'less is more', sort of. But I like to work up to label dosage rather than have to change, flush, and hope I didn't kill them. Be aware, not all plants are big feeders. Keep in mind, we call this weed for a reason. It'll try to survive, you have to try hard to kill'em. But you certainly can 'love them to death'.

I went ahead and added two more lights, to hit the sides of the plant a little Bit
and I don't think I'm over feeding it. Seems to be pretty green and not to stretched out but, I do have a concern that it is a make :-\ it's my first grow..and can't tell but here is a pic of what I am worried about, any input?
hey so im on day 9 of flower and i have had explosive amount of stretching on my girls. im also using cfls and i also just scrogged them. im running 10x23wat cfls 6x2700k and 4x5000k so far so good. good luck man will be keeping an eye out here for sure

coco is like the happy medium between hydro and soil... although I think once you learn your method, that is easiest, whichever that is, coz you already learned it.
:tuppence:

I also decided to bump my lighting up, I added x2 42w cfl 2700k. So in total I'm running x4 26w, and x2 42w, 1 plant. Should be enough right??
You're growing in about 8 SF, and you are reflecting the stray light back onto the 8 SF, footprint. Right?
And the lights are within 2-3"s. Right?
Ough'ta work.
But you didn't describe how you get rid of all that heat.
Or do you have really high ceilings?
Sounds nice, but way over the limits for my 'recreational, non medical', Colorado ass.

I have Mylar behind and on the sides of the plant, to reflect the stray light yes
And yip keep The lights about 2 inches away, adjusting them all the time! I don't really have a heat problem, the room is weird,. Its a long room with fairly high ceilings, I do have a small fan, but I live in Maine, so we don't have hot days lol
