hey guys this is my first grow. About a month and a half into veg. I have a 60 watt cfl and three 24'' 100w cfls feeding my baby sweet light 24/7. The 60w and two 24''s are above and one 24'' cfl vertically on the side for a lil extra. Growing in a space probably 2.5'x2'x5'. Water once a day. Once a week with some molasses. Once a week with petes 20-20-20 (diluted of ourse). She's probably 10''-12'' tall now. Got the seed from a buddy whos been saving it since he quit growing. Told me it was called Kronic Green Goblin, but I have never heard of it and was kinda wondering if anyone could tell me if that's a known strain or something? I also have a small problem with the first two sets of leaves my girl ever grew (not the seedling leaves, I know they're supposed to go), for a while now they have progressively been curling up at the ends and yellowing, and I'm assuming the next step is falling off, but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what's up with that? Maybe not enough light penetration or something?
I'll post pics later.

Yes it could be the light not penetrating the foliage. A month and a half of veg and only 12 inches? how many nodes do you have? when do you plan on flowering? any pics?

well I've been reading that 24/7 light keeps it bushier. Plus, when the plant was first growing, I took my buddy's advice (donr know if it's true or not) but I clipped the middle head bud so it split into two head buds in a Y shape. He said it would increase the yield. Think it's true? And I have 2 nodes on the single stem and about 6 on each side of the Y.
As for flowering, I plan on waiting another 5 weeks for veg, then I plan on taking two clones. Then I'll let the mother plant and the two clones veg for a final 4-5 week period (depending on growth and how impatient I am :bigjoint:) before putting all three of them into the flowering stage, which will continue till I've got some nice, ripe buds. Hopefully with not many complications. :leaf:
