Looks great! I bet its nice to see buds starting on the plant. I will order some of those seeds. I wanna see how big yours gets so i can do a rough fitting to see how many i can fit in my box.

Yeah, I am shocked at how big the smallest is getting in that little pot. SADLY I will have to transplant tomorrow into a bigger pot, I wasn't planning on her going into flower already
Figured she'd veg for like 32 days like the other 
Hope she doesn't hermi. Big screen : Continuing work on the big screen tonight, I didn't realize the TV screen would cause light leak so I need to lay a layer of cardboard down first.

Me and my mate are finishing it up tonight hopefully. We are patching the light leaks as of now then I plan on laying the mylar, It'll be VERY hard considering how oddly shaped the walls on the inside of the TV are.If u build it, they will grow

Great first grow man, I'll be staying with this one until the end. As for your leaves... I see you already jacked up the nitrogen. If that still hasn't shown progress, judging that the tips of your leaves toward the top of your plant are lime green/light yellow, I would conclude a magnesium deficiency. If the older, yellow leaves at the bottom still have green hue in their veins, then you probably need a little more Mg. Magnesium is essential to light absorption. I'm sure you'll figure out the problem--cannabis plants are true fighters, it takes absolute neglect to severely mess up.
Hope I could offer some good advice. I'm doing my first grow using CFL, as well. Only 1 plant--it was the runt of my buddy's litter. She was incredibly stressed at an early age and is about 2 weeks behind. Anyways, stop in if you want, but best of luck with your ladies.
PS-- I saw you were thinking about buying that 85watt full spectrum. Do it! 5500-6500k lighting is great for density during flowering! $17 bucks on Amazon (mine arrives tomorrow
)

Thanks mate, I am starting to give a 1 tsp of nitrogen every 3 watering. I jacked up her flowering nutes by like 1.2tsp so she would be hitting it. The yellowing is continuing to spread. What should I use for the MG deficiency you think?Great first grow man, I'll be staying with this one until the end. As for your leaves... I see you already jacked up the nitrogen.

Here's the thing man... I should actually go back on what I said. It's a common misconception that when plants have a deficiency issue, we need to compensate by adding more of that particular element. In other words, you might be lacking Mg, but you do not necessarily need to add Mg to your soil. Bad pH levels will lockout certain nutrients. PH levels that are too low (acidic) will lockout elements like Mg, phosphorus acid, and calcium. PH levels that are too high (alkaline) will lockout iron, zinc, manganese, copper, and boron. Many deficiencies turn leaves yellow; so what you want to do first is make sure your pH levels are in a good range. Shoot for 6.3-6.8, 6.5 being the best. The problem will correct itself without adding any elements.
Do you have, or have you ever experienced any pH issues during the grow? This will help pinpoint the issue.

I've been watering both my plants with the same water the other has no problem. It needs to be transplanted into the organic soil though, right now it is in MG and in much better shape then the one in some nice organic soil.

Can you throw up more pics of the plant? A solid picture showing the bottom leaves, one showing the top, and one of the whole lady. I really think it's your pH levels. MG soil is notorious for being a little on the alkaline side (close to 7). You could be watering/feeding with a solution that is a little on the acidic side. This would affect the plant in the more neutral organic soil quicker than the plant in the slightly alkaline MG soil.
Symptoms look like it could be N or Mg deficient, however, an acidic soil will lockout BOTH of these nutes. Do you have any way to test water/soil/runoff pH? It would be the proper first step for solving the problem.

nice one dude

Yea, definitely check the pH of your runoff if you can. If all pH's look good then stick to giving it a little extra N and hopefully the problem will be gone in a few days.

Umm there are two plants there correct? One smaller than the other? If so, why is the smaller one not elevated to get as much light as the bigger one? How far are the lights from the plants? What are the dimensions of your box? You just runnin 4 CFLs? Wattage? I thumbed through this thread so if these questions are answered somewhere else I apologize.

42x4 = 168 2700k watts
The smaller ones needs to be transplanted, I was pushing it off but I am hoping to do it tomorrow.

dont worry about your yeild, your girls have that covered give them what they need and you will recieve the same in return. im not going to knock your 18/6 deal, but if your expecting results, then without absolute possitivity, your grow shud be considered experimental. flowers are best 98% of ppl here will tell you. but im sub'd any way man and happy to be here for your grow!
