When the days are longer the plant will continue to vegetate, when the days are shorter it will begin to bloom sensing the end of the season

Here is a pic taken this morning. Previous grow box was 2x1x1 feet. Had to remove them because theyre getting too big for it. Pardon me for including other plants. They are just basils and morning glory

Current lights:
2x 24watt daylight bulbs
1x 42watt daylight bulb

Watering every 3rd day as of now. Will be keeping 4 plants for the meantime, because I'll remove the males in the future.

Growing medium:
Top Left and right most are 3parts soil, 2 parts soilless, 2 parts vermiculite.

Middle plant and smallest plant are pure soilless medium, 3parts soilless 2 parts vermiculite.

Plant age:
Big ones are all about 27/28 days old
Little one is more or less 1 week old

Good day to all of you!
I am starting this thread so i could get little help and guidance from more experienced growers.
So here are some of the details:
Mostly indoor grow with occasional sunlight exposure. i wanted to grow outdoors but it is currently the rainy season here. I am growing plants for about 3 weeks. Help will be much appreciated.

Lights: 2x 24watt cfl DAYLIGHT / 3-5 hours of sun exposure depending on weather
16-8 cycle
1"-2" away from top of plant.
Medium: 2 parts soilless mix, 2 parts loam soil, 2 parts vermiculite

1st and 2nd Plant: about 2 weeks and 4 days old (June 20, 2014)
the one on the LEFT has yellowing tips on the first set of serrated leaves, I watered it with 1/4 strength 20-20-20 mix fertilizer 4 days ago(June 16). is it nute burn or something else?

The one on the right got sun exposure when it was just 1 week old. Now it is on full time cfl so i could have a very controlled grow on it. I also fimmed it 3 days ago but its showing the same results as the other plant. (chopped developing leaves instead of new nodes?)

I'd say they are a little young for such a high dose, go very easy these first few days. I suspect that yes, that yellowing is nute burn.

They are a bit young for topping, but some people do it right from the get-go, so it's not *impossible* to top at that age, just they are fragile, young little things and don't respond well to "abuse".

Personally I would wait a couple more nodes before topping. Also, as a newb, it is hard to tell when fimming has worked in the immediate aftermath because it's difficult to see at first if they are new main shoots that will branch out into two each or if they are single shoots on the main stem as before.

Give it another week then look (and top) again.

I DONT THINK ITS ACTUALLY NUTE BURN, BECAUSE NUTE BURN STARTS FROM THE TIPS AND UR LEAF TIPS LOOKS FINE., IT CAN BE SO MANY THINGS BUT NOT NUTE BURN., IT CAN BE PH PROBLEMS LOCKING OUT ZINK OR CALCIUM, MAYBE MOISTURE STRESS., U NEED A DIGITAL PH METER. , AND KEEP IT SIMPLE., WET/DRY WATER/FEED/WATER/FEED/WET/DRY GOOD LUCK!! HOPE THAT HELPS SOMEHOW., STAY HIGH!!! ====~~ also check this guide https://www.rollitup.org/t/guide-to-nutrient-deficiency-or-toxicity.488004/

hello lord lonnis, i'm going to add lights as i grow them, maybe every week or so. I am aiming for a total of 100 watts during flowering. I have classes from 8:00 am to 4:00 on weekdays so i can't just risk letting them sit outside, my friend took chances a week ago and his plants drowned. I am also afraid they would get pests of some sort if i let them out too long. so i stick to letting most of the plants that fit in my window ledge get some sun times whenever possible.

i don't have rh and temp displays as of now. i only have a thermometer in the grow area. i just put a shallow bowl of water near the fan to keep the air from getting too dry on very hot days. Regarding the nutrients i used, it is Siam 20-20-20. It's the only available one aside from the really cheap concentrated ferts on stores. If get more money, i'll give the compost tea a shot. thankyou :bigjoint:
