yeah they are looking better, and the white fuzzy stuff you see is just microscopic fuzz u can call it , your plants are to young to have thc that only happens wen a female plant is in flower.

all your plants look pretty good. the one in the second row first pic looks a little bit over watered. but thats a good thing. i read that you were using miracle grow soil? thats what i used for my first grow with time release fertz. i ended up harvesting early because of nute burn. it was still decent stuff but you def could taste the chemical fertilizer. so overwatering a little bit is nice to give it a little flush each time. you should wait and see how long it takes for your plants to wilt. and then start watering a day before. the biggest problem with growers is trying to hard. it is a weed and they are pretty hard to kill. my first that had nute burn survived for 3 months and was roughly 3.5 feet tall. only harvested around a half. was bagseed to.

also i believe that you can never have enough knowledge. there are several grow videos on the net. jorge cervantes ultimate grow 1,2,3. they are pretty good videos. i downoaded them (torrent). also jorge cervantes has a book called marijuana horticulture. it is a growers bible. it has what the leaf looks like from every nutrient deffeciency and how to correct it. i highly reccomend this. also. i see that you were thinking about getting more lights. i just bought at menards 5 cfls. they are 42-watt, 6500k, 2800 lumen each. it was roughly 10 bucks per light. they also had a 65-watt 6500k cfl. these wattages arent equivalents either, actual wattage. they also had 42 watt 2700k flowering cfls which i plan to purchase with next pay check.

over watered, signs of nute burn. mg soil, ph'd water only for the first 5 or 6 weeks.
deff was underwatered up until a day or 2 ago....deff got nute burn i said that....its scotts potting soil not MG soil...and why ph'ed water for 5-6 weeks? thx for all the info people.
ya iv done ALOT of research i do need a couple books...but no money right now so ima see if i can torrent them....and no more lights right now that was awhile ago...i got 18 cfls now and i dont think i can fit many more lol..im runnin 14 23w 6500k daylights and 4 42w 2700k soft whites. im good for now lol thx everyone

Wow Synik plants look way better! I see you did transplant them, I thought that might help. Also good job figuring out the watering, they look way better. Maybe in the future consider organic fertilizer. it's easier to measure, and thus reduces risk of over-fertilizing. With chem-fertz you have to measure such tiny amounts. With bat guano and molasses, I just heap a spoonful of each into a 1.5 L (1/2 gallon) watering can stir for a while. Seems like there might be less risk of over-fertilizing this way. I think the added air movement might even have perked them up too, like you said reduce the temp a little. Those white specs you mentioned are likely mites. I know that's not what you want to hear, and I could be wrong. When I notice mites I try and kill them by whatever means necessary, tobacco, Endall, neem oil. Although you don't want use these during flowering so try and deal with mites before flowering. air movement and cool temperature will help control mites as well. I hope I'm wrong about the mites but check it with a magna-fine glass anyway.

ya i know with the use of organic fertilizer its way harder to over fertilize. the unused fertilizer in the soil is organic and therefore doesnt burn the plants nearly as much if any. also using organic ferts will make your buds sticker, smell much better, taste and burn much much better compared to chemical ferts.
ima hafta get a magnifying glass and make sure. cus the only way i noticed this was cus of those hi res pics i took...i hope ur wrong to..but how easy is it to get mites indoors. im not home right now but when i get home tomm ill take more pics cus they are alot bigger. iv seen some of my best growth lately. thx for the input

How easy is it to get mites indoors?
Well it's pretty much a guarantee you'll get them @ some point. It's not whether you get mites or not, its usually how many mites do you have. Just a few is perfectly natural for your plant and wont decrease yield at all. A serious infestation will half your yield at least. I try not to use any chems in flowering, espcially a pesticide which will decrease potency and yield. I would wage chemical warfare during veg if you notice mites. For this grow i noticed some mites, and I went so far as filling a bucket with water and little Endall, and tips my plants individually in the sauce coating the entire plant. Then you can tip them again in some fresh water in a 10 minutes, or spray them to rinse them off. Mind you this is not the best technique as I did kill 2 plants outright after doing that, but I had extras. This way I was sure there was no mites as the plants went into flowering knowing there would be little I could do after that point. I expect some mites will make homes in my flowering plants but shouldn't effect them too much. if you look at some close-ups of my recent pics you'll notice some spotting on some of the leaves, that's mite bite marks.
I have roaches, silverfish, mice, and more in my apartment, so I was hardly surprised to have some mites. You might be surprised to know probably over 50% of indoor grows will have some mites or white flies. If there numbers are kept low it's no big deal.

buds are looking killer man. i know a grower who has been growing for 15+ years and he told me that you WILL get mites. everybody knows that. i heard a decent way to get rid of them besides pesticedes is spraying some dish soap mixed with water on the leaves, soaking it, several times. that is what he told me all he really does also if your grow room is enclosed and you have mites. the best way he told me to get rid of them is to release some lady bugs in there. they will not eat your dope but they do feed of mites!!!!!!!!
okay so i put them into 12/12 last night and today i found 1 male so far...im pretty sure the rest r female but ima keep checkin regularly till i know for sure...how long does it usually take to COMPLETELY tell...cus earlier(like 5 hours) i looked at them and i coulda sworn the one i found that was male...was female...but i dont wanna think its all good and its not...sooo how often should i b checkin for males and how long should it b b4 i know for sure...cus the one i found was FOR SURE a male...but the rest im not sure yet...pix in 30 mins...charging my camera
