so today is another day and everything seems to be going good, that first feeding worked out, no folding in the leaves or anything noticeable...speaking of which, is there a right dosage for water when adding nutes to the mix? for example what i did last night was pour plain water 16.9 fl oz in, then added my nutes to another 16.9 oz of water and used that (im using a water bottle as a makeshift watering devise)....still no signs of mary kate sexing tho...i mean i got fem seeds but as any other noob, the beginning of the grow i wasnt as gentle as i should have been on more then one occasion and i just want the re assurance that i didnt stress her too much to have her hermi on me or something...other then that i believe my next feeding will be sat and if there is no opinions on a better method or technique to feed ill be doing the usual...

happy friday fam. hope everyone has a safe weekend. today was another feed day for my girls, gave em 3/4 tbls of grow big. i have a question about Ashley tho, her leaves are curling up and was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what is going on....im assuming that its cuz of heat, not too sure tho, i still dont have a fan and wont have one for awhile, so the tent has all the flaps open and the temps stay between 79-86....just looking for some input so i can make a note....thanks guys, first heres the pic of Ashley's leaf and then some pic updates...peace....

im a little behind with the update because of some technical difficulties, for some reason my phone isnt getting recognized by my computer so i cant put up any pics at the moment and thats the only camera i have...im keeping up with the feeding schedule tho, they are getting a little bigger and the smell is nice 
there are tons more bud sites that i can see...i have a question, when will they start swelling up on me? im on day 44 and they are still tiny...is that normal? the plan is to go about 70ish days with em and im pretty far along i just figured that i would see fatter sties...i will attempt to fix my phone so i can get some pics up but any thoughts would be much appreciated....on another note, i did drop a Himalaya Blue Diesel in the dirt, so i will be starting another journal in a couple days, prob friday or sat, depending on when she pops....

Yea she looks good and green ..looks like you had the light a little far on a few nodes and got a crazy stretch between a few but if you give bloom nutes they should start ..you say they are not even showing sex yet thats strange this late in the game.what is your light cycle?
what up doob, yeah im still trying to fine tune my light distances, is the rule of thumb with cfl's to keep em close but not touching and as soon as they get close move it up a few inches? is it the further the lights, the further they stretch til it gets closer? but yes they both sexed, ashely was the first, and mary kate just about a week ago....my light cycle is 22/2...they just got their first dose of bloom nutes yesterday...still struggling to save some money but i dunno how soon ill be able to get my led's...i did just buy 6 more soft 2700K cfl's....when do you think itll be a good time to switch them out to all soft?
Sorry wish I could have picked up on your grow earlier, to stretch a plant with clf's there's to trains of thought. 2700k range spectrum bulbs with the red light encourages stem growth and flowering, while 5500k range spectrum with blue light encourages veg growth. Distance method works, but that's a double edge sword. Farther away drastically cuts into a clf's light penetration, drastically. When you think of clf's equivalent wattage can be thrown out the window as it means nothing to us growers. Lumens is lumens and so you need to think true wattage. Lumens equals light penetration, that's what we're after! You can get 250w equivalent clf's for cheap, there around 65 actual watts, I found around 300 true watts kicks azz! Anyway thats my

whats up guys, another feed day down, today they had 1tbs of tiger bloom and 1/2tbs of grow big....they are looking good but i think i may need more lights sooner than later, i mean i still feel that their bud sites are tiny for how far along they are....noob anxieties...i mislabeled the days on my last pic update, it was supposed to be 37 and 36 or something....anyway heres some pics....
