Opinions on my grow please

Heres my two plants, about 5 weeks old. Four daylight cfls per plant. Bagseed, one came from supposedly purple kush and the other from mid, any idea which is which? Any opinions and/or suggestions are welcome. How long should i wait till i start flowering?

those look like they were reaching for the light. how far are your lights away from them? I keep my CFL's an inch or so away from the top of my plant, and I am getting notes that are less than a inch apart.....

i would start now you dont have enough light to grow them any bigger, they will double in size during flowering so they are going to be some monsters.... START NOW

yea like he said if your using cfl's might as well start flowering now. they do look a lil streched.. keep the lights close and use anything thast has
5000. 5500. 6500 kelvin spectrum.. lower yellow leaves caused from npk defect..

Yep, start flowering and give them a good feed with N IMO - the lower leaves are yellowing and they still need N for the first few weeks of flowering. Tho I dont know the plant, is the mix a little dry? (the leaves wilty?) Tho plants need dry cycles, it will stress them if they get completely dry.

Grow on!

Thanks for the input, what if i got 4 of these, two per plant, and kept two of the daylight 26 watters on each plant for flowering? And any suggestions on a brand of food thats easier to find than foxfarm? Cant find it anywhere around here.

go to fox farms site, they list every retailer in your state.....

Thanks!!! Found a place about 45 mins away. Comments on the light change?

yeah, you should flower them now. They are already pretty tall so if space is a problem get them flowering now. An average assumption is they just about double in size once they are completely flowered. Also start out your girls on 1/2 strength nutes, and see how they react to it, also follow Fox Farms schedule for feeding if you use their products.

How about that rep buddy ....

What do you think about keeping two 26w daylight cfls per plant along with two 42 watters each?

Honestly if that all you can get in there it will work, but you want to get the most light possible in there, without getting temps to high.

My suggestion would be to get 4 more 42 watters and use all eight bulbs you have to flower, if cash is tight. If money is not a problem, get 8 42watters (making your total lights 12), just make sure their warm light. You want to start using light from the red wave lenghts when your flowering.

OK thats what i'll do, 4 42's and the 8 26's, what about the numbers on the food i have some 20-20-20 nursery select miracle grow how bad off would i be if i used that?

I think that you could do it with that but make sure you keep those bulbs an inch away no more. You will probably need to move the lights every day as those gals grow. As much light as you can get on them the better, try for even brighter cfl's if possible or try to pack more cfl's in there. Good luck.

Don't use Miracle grow!!! and the numbers are the are relative to the percentage of Nitrogen-Phosphorus-Potassium in that product. when vegging you want a product that has a higher nitrogen percentage, when flowering you want a product with a higher potassium percentage. You best bet would be to buy a quality nutrient, IE: Fox Farm, Canna, Advanced, General Hydroponics, any of those are great product. Just make sure to choose the correct nutrient for your medium (ie: soil, hydro, aero) cause they make different nutes for different applications[FONT=Arial, Helvetica][/FONT]

thanks for the input, i guess ill just wait till i can make the drive..... can you give me an idea of what those numbers should be for flowering?

went and got a light timer yesterday, they're on 12/12 now. I'm getting more lights tomorrow and hopefully good nutes soon. Comments please!!!!

good nutes for flowering is Fox Farms 2 part, Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom... thats all i have used... They do make other additives that you can use but those are the two core components to their bloom nutes....

Okay, so I'm on the third week of flowering and have just fed fed them for the second time. I took your advice, 420, and used the Fox Farms Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom, although i bought them separately. I am watering them every three days, and feeding every other watering. Theres two 42 watt red spectrum cfls and two 26 watt blue spectrum cfls per plant. I am planning on adding two more 42's to each plant soon. My indica plant on the left is doing very well, the bottom leaves have slowed down dying a lot. The sativa plant on the right, however, is still killing off the bottom leaves at the same pace as always. Also, it seems to be stretching up towards the lights a lot more even though its they're just as far away as they are on the other plant. This plant did start to develop a few swarms of fungus gnats, so i treated both the plants with pyrethrins and have yet to see another one. Thanks for the help everyone, especially 420. I'm still open to suggestions/comments!

Here's some pics
First pic is both, then three of the sativa and three of the indica.

Looks to me as tho some reflectors are in order . . . Mylar, white paint, mirrors, etc.
Sure could help your harvest total. Room looks beige in Pic?

Looking good man, You progressing nicely .

So I like what you did so far, but your not quite done.... If you want these babies to really fill out below the main cola you need to get some side light in there. With CFL's the light intensity falls off so drastically ever inch away it is. So if you could, put a couple lights around each plant, like 2 or 3 per plant around the middle, you would notice a big change in how your babies mid section looks
