CFL grow 4th time around (PICS) CHECK IT OUT

hi guys thanks so much for the info. i got one more question for ya penny. I went down to 10 plants and added more lights. 385 watts of cool white on the sides and 400 watt hps on top. Well under the 400 watt mh the plants looked ideal. I had 24 hrs of light they stood tall leaves erect. just what you want ya know. After swithcing to the 400 hps they all look good but leaves fold under a bit and droop. they do look better after the first shock of flowering. they get 1/4 ferts every other water and basic color is good. Is the droop from concentrating on flowers and just the fact that they dont get the light of the veg cycle. What is the leaves folding under. I will try to find a pic of leaves. Thanks you guys help with they stress of newbie questions. hey also i water just when they are dry i check everyday, and they tend to get water every 4-5 days or when dry to the finger test. I have flushed 2 or 3 times through the grow. Can I go up to 3/4 fert mix

Clear cups = dead roots

light kills your roots, you should either wrap something light proof around the cups or put them in new ones that arent see through....you dont wanna hurt your babies

yeah i have mine in clear cups but i also have a colord /non clear cup over it so the water will drain into that and i can also take the clear cup out and examine the roots

penny your plants look great. are we going to get some new picks soon. once you asked about my roomI think you asked if it was a barn. Well in my basement i found a room under the porch that I think was used to store canned goods in the old days. So I cleaned it with bleach and started hanging lights. the bad part is its all concrete so I need to open the door every morning before work and blow fresh air in all day. I will never grow over 8 plants again. man it was to much with a busy life. nothing but research, rotating and watering. you see something that looks like a problem and its just some minor adjustment. About 5 nice females sounds good

ill be happy with just one female :0)

and ive just been busy thats why i havnt really been on.but im still around :0)

hahaha .

staying busy is good. hey guys why does this plant have the doward leaves in the flower stage. water is good, Fert is good. Is it just less light. it was under 24 7 with 400 mh light. Is it normal for the plants to loose some of the vigor they have during the veg stage. 400 watt hps now

sorry forgot the pick

does your plant tend to do this right before the lights go out?

The 2nd pic you can see some of the leaves fold in. it gets better then comes back. maybe from moving the plants around

its worse after watering but they continue to grow. They just dont seem to stick out like in the veg stage

had a plant that did that myself

what do ya think

man that is nice. Is it sativa, that baby is tall. good job

man what a nice sativa. i mean great. hey check this room. There are half the amount of plants in this room now. Hey if i lined the walls with mylar for the last 4-6 weeks of flowering. what precentage more growth of bud do you think I would get. would it be worth it

thanks brotha

its always worth it man,
the main improvements you will see is the buds around the edges, they are not receiving as much light as they would be if there was Mylar right next to em,

thanks do you think I should take the time.
