Advice wanted

This is my first "true" attempt at growing and so far Ive been doing well I believe.I Planted 9 of the dankest bag seeds I had saved up from the last year and planted them Jan 1.I'm down to 6, (some were males, and pulled a runt to make room) Today I decided to finally post my progress on here to see what advice I can get to improve my crop. I have been pinching 2 of the taller girls in the back trying to delay having to put them into flower. Idk bad idea? I have a lack of space and not sure if I'm pushing it and should just throw them into flower. Haven't really ran into any problems other then a little heat stress at the begining, and some fungus knats but other then that its been pretty smooth sailing for my first grow. Tell me what you think any input is appreciated, thats why I'm putting this up. I have been using Botanicare Pro Grow, and Liquid Karma for nutes.New Image1.jpgNew Image5.jpgNew Image4.jpgNew Image2.jpgNew Image3.jpgNew Image6.jpgNew Image.jpg

You're doing outstanding for your 1sst attempt, have you tried starting up a journal on here yet? You should try that out so you can get ongoing input from people I think. What kind of lighting are you using, MH or fluorescent?

The yellowing leaf blade edges you're seeing is usually caused by Zinc deficiency but similar damage can come from Potassium def. as well. Be sure to get them some Zn, as well as some extra K just in case.

I know its a copycat post but i wasnt sure if i posted it in the wrong forum. The first 2-3 weeks i had them under a fluorescent light now i have them under a 400 watt mh, and have a hps bulb to switch in for flowering.

Looks that way, I had the same problem and added a little blackstrap molasses and it cleared right up. I used
half a teaspoon per gallon.

First grow, great start. Your tall ones are going to surpass the light at it's highest point. I would start some LST . Maybe throw up a trellis net Corner to Corner real low so when the little one's flower they will push into it and above, and in the meantime feed that tall one under and let the branches grow up.

Havnt they been growing too long to start lst'ing now? I have been pinching them to minimize upward growth.

No you can bend them over, slowly, and easy. That's what I would do. I have done it with 4' plants in flowering. Here is a picture of her. All pics are same plant~ NO wait, the last pic was the second Violater Kush.

Are you checking the Ph of the water you're feeding them? When mine started to look like that I noticed my soil was sitting at high 7s on the PH scale after i balanced that back down the coloring stopped. I am no pro tho just giving my 2cents seeing how my plants looked just like that in their young days. The other guys might be right about the def tho.

I would not flower yet I would allow the small ones to get more foliag and at the same time work that talll one down low and when she stretches have that go through a net and bud up.
I meant should I start flowering now, or would lst'ing them allow me to continue vegging for a couple more weeks
