Very nice Hey DR. That sight that you bought those bulbs what about just getting like 2 150w or 1 200 and then tossin in a couple smaller ones. probably be a little easier on heat issues just haveing a couple bulbs. Letme know what ya think.

:leaf::leaf: You will spend almost $200 on those three lights. Actually you might not think so at first but those three lights would have alot of heat issues. My 105 Watt CFL get's hot as fuck after it's been on all day, i cant imagine a 150 or 200 Watt bulb. I recommend the 55 or 65 Watt bulbs. The 55 Watt bulbs are $15 a piece. You could get 4 of them for $60 Dollars (2 Daylight 6500K and 2 Warmwhite 2700K). And then if you wanted to get more i saw 27 Watt CFL's at walmart for less than a dollar. :leaf::leaf:

:leaf::leaf: To tell you the truth dude you really don't need all that much light. I only have ONE 105 Watt 5000K and TWO 42 Watt 2700K CFL's and my plant look's beautiful. Next week im probably going to add a couple more 2700K's now that my plant is getting alot bigger. :leaf::leaf:

you might want to mix it a little stronger Than you think. You won't burn her she's just now getting really hungy and need food to fatten up. A little flushing inbetween veg and flower is good, just to wash out any build up.

I find what works the best for me is to continue feeding your plant veg nutes for the first 2-3 weeks of flower, that right you herd me striaght veg nutes and lot of them she will need it . On the 3rd week of flower feed them with 1/2 veg nutes mixed with 1/2 bloom. After that full bloom from week 4 on. This will keep your plants greener during flower and thus producing more buds. Check my Cinderella99 journal. I fed them veg nuts 4 week into flower and now they are on full bloom the past two weeks I have been feeding them1 and 1/2 times the reccomend dosage and they are getting so fat.

:leaf::leaf: Thanks mattso, the only reason i was going to ease up on the nutes was cause im getting some pretty decent burns at the bottom of the plant. At this point im not sure how much im going to feed her cause i want the burns to go away so i might not feed her any food for the time being. :leaf::leaf:

from what i see in the pic the burns are minimal most of the time those leaves fall off due to lack of light. It also could be burned from the watering. ar those leaves touching the soil? do they ever get wet when you water?

:leaf::leaf: No i make sure they never get wet or touch the soil. The burn started around 2 weeks into vegitation and i didnt give it much tough cause it was insignificant. Now a couple of the bottom leaves are at least 75% covered in burn's. So it could be from lack of light but since the burn began when i started using the veg nutes im thinking it was that. :leaf::leaf:

If the leaves are 75% dead, I'd pluck those off. Or at least tear the burnt parts off. That's how I do mine. Especially if they are way on the bottom of the plant anyway.

Since you have a girl there are you going to try taking a clone, just for the practice?
