Ok here are my babies question is really about the 2 on the left mainly, got a killer bag and these were what came out of it, anyway, they are 6 weeks old and this weekend I'm going to 12/12 light (do they look like it's time for it)?
I have some Neptune Harvest 2-4-1 should I use it now or like the day before I change from 24/0?

I have given them (3 weeks ago) some Ferti-lome 20-20-20 fert and water up until 4 days ago I gave them some GH Flora Micro 5-0-1 & Flora Gro 2-1-6.

Using 4X 5850k AgroSun 4' 40W T12 lights

FaFard organic soil, worm castings...

Comments, suggestions, anything Thanks!

they look pretty good man. and they are definitely ready to go 12/12. looks like they were ready a lil while ago if you wanted to. but hey more veg the better haha. good luck man they look nice so far. keep everyone posted
 
Yes they do look pretty good I would add some red bulbs 2700 k cfls or floro tubes before u switch to flowering.With the nutes give them a light feeding of the bloom nutes before putting them under 12/12.

Anyways another question, I have some GH FloraBoom 0-5-4 nute, could I use it with the neptune harvest??? Also have GH Flora Micro 5-0-1 and ForaGro 2-1-6, any good combo???
Thanks again!

Hi, those look good for the light they've gotten. But MORE LIGHT will help more than more ferts. LOL Adding some CFL's to the party would really be worth it. And i hope you keep the T12's right ON those tops. I used T12's, you can and should have them literally touching your plants. thats probably why you lost most of your lower leaves, lack of light. But good job overall and happy growing! :)

actually I just added these T12's a week or so ago before they here 4200K and 6400K 6x 2' T12's in a smaller room
im working on a better light setup right now Ill take pics tomorrow when im done, I will start the nite cycle tomorrow nite.
yeah the 2 bigger ones (first 2 on left) are from great strain (i was told kush but yeah ohk) but it was the 2nd or 3rd best shit ive ever had, the others are just some other nice stuff ive found.
It's hard to find anything good at all where Im from, most people think mids are as good as it gets. Pathetic I think....
the smallest plant is 6 weeks old BUT i didnt know it finally sprouted and forgot about it outside in a jiffy pot until it 3-4 weeks ago it prob has a root issue because of the very small space it had to grow, but it is VERY stong so I thought what the hell it's atleast a bount. anyways..
Thanks guys!

Im in the same situation as Phenom420. Great information so far as to adding more lights.

one concern is when and how do I introduce the flowering nutrients?

I should add some t12 for extra lighting for my girls

This is how they look today.
I've used the fish fert 2 times now.
Look pretty good for the light you have given them. Remember they grow aproximately twice the height during flowering so use that info to gauge how long you want to veg them. Try to get a 400W or so HPS. You can find budget 400W's for less than 200$ shipped if money is an issue. By the time you add all them CFL's you'll be using more power then the 400W HPS would.

Yeah Im not into CFL's lost of cost per bulb....
Im a broke fool right now, also working on a hydro farm setup so money is tight. Just growing for me n my girl so it's not the biggest deal but yeah Im wanting 2 400 or 600w HPS but I dunno if I will be able to before these guys are dun... Maybe tho.
Thanks for the comment
