Duuude girl scout cookies are awesome. I picked some up last week, not super potent but absolutely delicious. If memory serves and don't quote me but the dude said they were sativa dominant. Really from my experience sativas yield better... Sorta, they take a lot longer to finish and the buds are airy but they are huge! Indicas grow extremely slow in comparison.. Indicas are real dense and have more bag appeal

Wassup juss a quick update.
I took some of the advice on here and turned the foil backwards on to the dull side.

I also added 2 more 23W CFL's so thats a total of 6 bulbs. 9,600 lumens in total.

And i made two holes on each end of the power strip and seems to be helping. The fan pushes the air in threw the front and exhaust from the back.


Heres a look from the front.

Lemme know what you guys think!

Nice grow!

Just my 2 cents...tear down that tinfoil. It will only cause problems later, like hotspots. Tinfoil absorbs heat, why do you think we cook with it? Either paint it white or get some panda plastic (black on 1 side & white on the other) and cover the walls with it. Hell even a mylar blanket would be better than the tinfoil.

Other than that, nice lookin ladies!

Last I checked home depot and lowes carry mylar.. As to what dragon311 is saying mylar or a space blanket is better but you put it up with either tape or staple gun or whatever, when you water those openings invite mold and dirt. I've always used quality foil tape and wit just a oscillating fan blowing on my cab I have 26cfl's in 4sqft.. Maybe instead of upgrading to mylar first try to get a small fan frome the pet store or home depot

^^^^^My first purchase for growing. and some HVAC tape from walmart for 8 bucks. I find duct tape sucks for things with humidity and temp change. HVAC tape really does the job to seal light in corners and chit too.Edges etc... And although I had more room to veg( I used 3-4 bendable desk lamps and 2 18 inch fluorescent plug ins in a small towel closet for seedlings..but in a small space or box, you could mount 3-4 into the ceiling of the under cabinet lights...walmart has a huge selection in lengths...and they're 7 bucks..here is a an 8 inch one on amazon that would work for pc's, stealths and small spaces. I had ll that in a 2x2 mylar coated cardboard box..ut it was such a pain in the ass fumbling in such a small area. Im about as graceful as Chris Farley.

4 mylar blankets..enough to do a 4 ft by 8 ft room...4 bucks...free shipping..buy 8 and throw them away after the first month..cheap way of keeping things clean. Pre cut with some scissors to measured length..HVAC tape reflects light and seals it in the corners.

Yellowing happens during flowering because of the lack of nitrogen the plant gets. your girls are looking sweeet, not long now mate :D

The browning spots is called marginal necrosis i think which is usually caused by a calcuim or magnesium deficiency.

A magnesium deficiency can be quickly resolved by watering with 1 tablespoon Epson salts/gallon of water.

I maybe wrong tho, id wait till someone with abit more knowledge chimes in
Also have you tested the Ph before feed and the run off?
