Newbie showoff

Wuts goin on fellas. just wanted to show off what ive been working on. well.. not really showoff but more so to get feedback from you generous people of RIU on what im doing wrong and what im doing right. thanks for even accidently clicking on this post it would be great if you leave a comment, tell me if im doing a good job, tell me i suck and should never grow again do whatever but leave a comment. any noobs like me show me wat u have. i wanna C POTROAST i didnt answer back because i wanted to show you this.

• im using a 2 Ft 24 Watt Sunblaze cfl w/ reflecter that is raised at about 10 inches from the top of each plant
• i got the light schedule on 18/6 with the off period being from 4:30 AM to 10:30 am (i set it like that because im sure im not going to be in the grow area in between those times.)

• DIY flood and drain system with the schedule being 12am on -12:06am off. And 12pm on -12:07 off
• all i am currently using is foxfarms grow big and superthrive for that is all i can afford right now. and i am changing the resevoir once every wednesdays. foliar feeding once a week. (any suggestions on nutes i can use in conjunction with?)
• ph is at a constant 6.0 i check every fucking day just so im super sure.
• i do not know my PPM for i do not own a TDS PPM meter because like i said i am broke like an empty bong with nothing left to smoke.(yes i barely smoke now because i have no cash)

• these poor plants were dumped on me by a freind of mine about 2 1/2 weeks ago. the plants were showing signs of weakness but i nursed it back to health with some TLC. they were said to be clones of blue dream x banana OG, super silver haze, and some kind of purp plant(idk he doesnt either im guessing.) When i asked him how old the clones were he said about three weeks so i am guessing the plants are about 5 to 5 1/2 weeks.

• I was using my laptop cam because i dont have a regular camera so it might be a little grainy. my phones camera is even worse.​
• from left to right: Mysterious purp plant named TREENA, SSH plant named JANE and lastly the BlueDream x BananaOG named MARY(dont know why i named em just thought it would be awesome)​

also the plants are standing at about 10 inches being the mystery purple 10 1/2 for the BD x Banana O.G and 11 inches for the SSH. when should i start to switch to 12/12?

Looking pretty good.
How big do you want them? and if the cfl is 10 inches away, move those babies closer! within 2-3".

i want them big enough to produce some type of respectable yield but i dont want them to over take eachother where one plant is stealing more light then the other. to tell you the truth they were sort of wilting and growth was sorta stunted when i had the light around 3-5 inches away thats why i raised it.

their looking a tad stringy , i would move the cfl closer. the nodes should be alittle closer then what they are.are u only growing with 1x24watt tube ?

so the nodes should be closer together? i c.. yes just one 2 ft 24 watt bulb

thats no where near enuff light , your plants wont yeild much at all , i would get some more lights asap , atleast 80 watts 2inches above foliage

ok i got them a 150w hps at 10 inches from the top at 18/6 cycle, also now using FF big bloom in conjunction w/ my grow big. is it true that plants get 3 times bigger during the flowering stage? if so i might need to think about switching to 12/12. i was thinking instead of using FF tiger bloom, should i use grotek's monster bloom instead?
