That's what I'd be inclined to believe.
You'll get something out of ALL of them, I'm sure. :thumbs:

They were very dry so I gave them all a good drink this morning with the nutes...
One small piece of advice i could share with you is to irrigate your plants with a little pH'd distilled water an hour or so before you dry-feed (applies especially if the medium is thoroughly dried out). This helps to buffer the salt interactions at the root-zone during feeding and minimizes the stress-response of sudden changes in the soil's carbonate content.

There ya go again Trifid - your like a spark sputtering, whistling pinwheel with all this info...
Would this apply to all types of soil and types of nutrients? What I'm wondering is, must I do this before I give them organic BioBizz and my own home brewed Teas?

It's by no means essential to all growers especially if you're working with only minor concentrations. For me though, i see it as good practice regardless to what media or organic fertilizers i'm using since my plants spend a great deal of time in the dry. Persuasion is best done with ease i guess - particually when your're dealing with plant life 
Glad you're finding this stuff helpful. It's a neat trick i've not grown board of..

Hey Noods what are you suggesting I do with the CFL's Besides hanging them from strings, what can I do????? I was thinking maybe 2 power strips on each side with those plug in outlets, what were you thinking about????

With the lighting I have, could I get away with another plant? I used the soil that I had in a humidity dome while I was tryin to germinate seeds. I got 4 of the 6 that didnt germ out of the soil and put them in soil and those are 4 of the babys I have in this grow, but 2 seeds vanished, well I used that soil for this grow and now I found one of the 2 vanished seeds, it sprouted!!!!, and its one of the AK's I dont believe it. Those seeds were germed for 2 weeks in a heat dome with no sprouts, then they sat in dry soil with no light no water for another week and now one just sprouted. I wasnt expecting it and Im out of soil so I had to use this sta green potting soil I had from lowes laying around, if it works great, if not, than Its no loss being the seed was forgotten about 2 weeks ago........So Does everyone agree that it may help with temps if I lower the plants to the floor of the cab???? And does it matter that they will be right next to the intake thats near the floor?

they don't have to be right on the floor, stick something down and put them on top of that. Seeing them suspended like that made me think that you can't be watering them properly, if you did then they should be too heavy for that shelf you have. When watering you should be totally soaking them soil. enough to make a decent amount come out the bottom, you should leave it in that run off for a minure or two to allow some to be soaked back up, that way you know the capillary action of the soil will be able to spread the water about evenly.
You could get more plants in but your limited in your yield by the light you have, you won't end up with more smoke by having more plants, just less yield per plant.
DIY a couple of hanging cfl thingymajigs that are easy to lift up and down so they can be moved with plant growth, do a couple as you will prolly end up with plants at diff heights anyway. more light = more bud so think about adding as many in as the space can take heat wise.
edit// oh and nice find on the AK, your gonna love the smoke off that if it turns out. /me loves ak

Thanks Riz. I can raise the cfl's by just unscrewing and moving, its not that bad, Only takes a few minutes to move them, was waiting to see what NOODS idea was for my CFL's, instead of keeping them locked down as he said. Was asking because someone said that you can get a decent yield with just the 400HPS, and then I have the added cfl's so I was just curious if I would still get a decent yield if I added the one plant being I have the extra light, if not it will just go on the floor in my bedroom with some lights hanging over it, CFL's that is. Being I run 24/7 with the lights I wont have to worry about a dark period, or do you think it would do better with the rest under the 400???? Wouldnt it be hard to hang them with the HPS in my way?????? Thanks for the smoke report on the AK, was wondering what kind of buzz it had. I have an afkan kush ryder in there too along with big devil, and low ryder #2....I have no idea what type of smoke any of them are, just took some suggestions when I bought the beans

Another thing guys, I mixed up these beans, so I have no idea wich is wich, just the bigger one thats flowering I know is lowryder#2. When they get bigger is it possible for one of yas to tell which are which if you've grown them?

i am stuck between wanting to do 24/7 and 20/4. wish i could do a side by side test, i like both 
400hps = 400 grams dude. if yer getting hps ditch the cfl's. the way i work it with HPS is to aim to fill the canopy with enough plants to have a sea of green. too many plants results in the same yield in grams as just the right amount of plants to fill the canopy. divide your 400grams by the average weight your strain is advertised at and you get how many plants you need. If you cram a lot in together you don't really lose out on yield, just gives you more to trim for same amount of bud. But. If you do too little plants put them in bigger pots and they might fill out yer space but it's down to the genetics.
I might be able to point out the AK to ye once it goes into flower.
