Hello everyone. I've been reading the forum for a while. Really like it! Keep up the good work everybody. I also see how easy it is to get help and how everyone is very willing to give their expertise for us newbs. I finally got a camera to post pics of my two girls (hopefully). Any advice is encouraged. Hope you like and let me know what you think.

Im into my 45th day of flowering on my first grow. check out my thread. https://www.rollitup.org/newbie-central/168027-first-grow-45-days-into.html
I vegged mine under a 400 w mH for 40 days. They reached about 18 inches but the reasons why my veg took so long is because I added to much lime to my soil mix and my pH was always high. My advise right now is just make sure your getting enough lumens per square foot of grow space from your light sorce, keep your temps in specs between 65 at night to 85 max. durring day hours and its important to keeeeeep your pH right, between 5.8-6.6 also have free air circulating and ventilation so air will exchange and not get to hot and humid. when you get ready to start adding nutes, start off with small doses and gradually build up to full strength. depending on what nutes you are using you can easily burn your leaves and they will eventually die on you if you dont correct it.

Sorry forgot to attach the second lady. By the way, the one on the left is THC Bomb from nl seeds and the other was one of the free seeds that came along with the THC Bomb purchase. Both are in the fourth week of vegging. Starting using Fox Farm Grow Big and Dutch Master Folitech Grow & Dutch Master Penetrator as foliage spray. Keep the comments coming. Thanks to all!

I'm not really sure how to explain the lighting but I know they're flourescents. And I know I have two different sets of 8 tubes, 6500 Kelvins and 3000 Kelvins. I'll post some pics of my grow closet as soon as possible to give a better idea.

i would also get the light a little closer. your plants are a little strecteched, nothing too bad but getting the light closer couldnt hurt. if its floro tubes you could have em almost on top of them, id say no more than 6 inches away. then put your hand right over the top of your plants and see if its gettin pretty hot. if its uncomfortable move em up a bit

I haven't posted any pics in a while due to lack of a camera. I borrowed my friends' MAC and used the camera on his computer. But these have been in flowering for about a week and a half so far. The taller one hasn't shown its sex yet but it has just been growing like a mad man since we put them into flowering. Any tips are always welcome. Thanks for looking.
