Four weeks in haven't feed them anything because of money issues. Let me know your ideas thanks. My problem I am facing is some leaves are starting to yellow up. I figured it was a nute problem but I also just got them transplanted into bigger pots so maybe that's way they turned yellow because the pots they were in were to small. I am not sure but I am using 2 4 foot t12 fluorescent lights and a few cfl 23 wats.

humidity = moisture in air. Not temperature. Seems to me the humidity in your grow area is a bit high (no pun intended lol).

they definitely need to be fed. the yellowing on the bottom leaves usually indicates a nute deficiency. if i was you i would go to the garden shop and get an all purpose 20-20-20 fertilizer. mix 1/2 of a teaspoon in, let it dissolve, then water the plant. the fert is only like 5 dollars. i use Hi-Yield 20-20-20 mix and it works great.

Also, do you have your pH under control? because you can feed in all the nutes you want but if your pH isnt where you need it be they wont receive any nutrition.

it looks like a nute issue to me. I know moneys an issue. I'm pretty happy with Flora Dou. I'm trying for the first time. Its 30 bucks and will cover you through veg and bloom.

Dust some dolomite crushed lime on top of your soil, it'll wash into the soil and help regulate your ph (1table spoon per gallon of soil). Looks over watered to me and could possibly use a light N feeding

Also looks like you need to add a shit load of perlite to your soil for drainage.

---That's what I;d do anyway----

That fertilizer will not help your plant for at least 2 weeks, it's a dry pellet fert and needs time to get into your soil.



*edit*

If you have access to a head shop, go and discuss fertilizers with them. Do not mention that you are growing even if asked. keep the topic strictly to fertilizers and defeciencies.

the link didnt work, but dont get a cheap soil tester because they dont work. only the higher end soil testers are accurate. if i was you i would get a water pH tester (15 bucks) and use general hydro pH up and down to control pH. even though you have to keep adjusting the pH every 3-5 days its still more accurate than the cheap soil testers. thats what i use and my grow is going very well.
