the author got the $7.98 42W cfls from target. i have 8 of them on my 4 plants and they are working great. i turned the lights to 12/12 two days ago and watered the plants yesterday. once again i watered the 2 sour diesel plants 4 cups of water and the 2 grape ape plants 5 cups of water. the pH of the water was 6.8.

*UPDATE*

So it has been a long time since i've updated this or put any more pictures. i have been really busy with work and stuff. the plants will have been on 12/12 for 4 weeks on monday. i'm watering them once the leaves start to droop and the pot feels light. some of the leaves are starting to turn yellow, why is this? let me know what you guys think i can do for the rest of the grow to get the biggest yield possible.

perfect. should i start it today or wait until i water again next? it says to use one heaping tablespoon for every galloon every 7-14 days. should i go by that or use more or less?

Apple Juice works good too, I hear. :D And yes, next watering... but I'm not sure if you want to use a 1/4th of that dose of nutrients or not...?

on the bottle of nutrients there are a few different catagories to pick from for the directions. 1. outdoor containers, orchirds and greenhouse plants 2. indoor houseplants 3. roses, flowers, herbs, tomatoes, & vegetables 4. shrubs, citrus, trees, & vines 5. transplants, bulbs, & seeds. i don't know which on my plants fall under. remember now they are clones. what would you say?

i watered them with the nutrients today. i followed the directions for indoor plants and the dosage for every 7-14 days. i mixed up 3 galloons of water and put in 12 teaspoons of nutrients but ended up only using half of the water. any other suggestions?

so i watered the plants again yesterday with nutrients. i think the sour diesel is getting ready to harvest. i'm thinking early next week to harvest it. the grape ape i think still has a couple more weeks. when should i harvest the sour diesel? harvest the grape ape? the first two pictures are the sour diesel plants and the second two are the grape ape. the last picture is some of the god's gift purple i picked up from the club today.
