nice kindphriend,

We will be watching, what kind of light do you have on them?
 
oooopsss my bad....i got a 400HPS about 18-20 inches above
 
Whats up KP. How are your babies looking today?
 
Still have some "taco folding" in the leaves. Have heard it is the ph variation. Any other ideas? Tomarrow will be two weeks!!!

Should I be thinking about transplanting? Maybe that will fix my tacoed leaves? I am thinking about doing it before the next watering, which will be tonight transplant and water. Or water wait two days then transplant. I´m anxious.....can you tell??? hehehehe

Looks like PH problem or heat stress, what is the PH and room temp?

What are your temps? I would try and get your light up say 24 inches above maybe even farther. If it's hot on the back of your hand it's hot on your babies. Yes i would go ahead and transplant. GD you beat me mang. Hahahahahahaha
 
the temps in the room are about 84 right now, but i got the temp gauge up higher than the lamp......so right where the plants are I would say maybe a little higher, cause I got the fan blowin right across the tops of thier heads. I put my hand there and the back of my hand really isn´t hot....could it be cause I fertilized too early??? Thanx for the help Growdude and Brothers G!!!

You might wanna try getting your temps down a bit. If it's 84 above your light it's gotta be about 87 or 88 below it. It could also be that you gave them nutes to soon or a combination of both.
 
thanks for the help BG!!! I´m gonna transplant ´em tonight and i´ll let you know how they take to it. Also, i´m going to move the light up to 24 inches above.....let´s see if that helps. Again thanx for the help. I´ll keep you updated!

So I transplanted on day 13 and it seems that the girls are really feeling much more relaxed and comfortable there......it seems. here are some pics. Either on friday or early next week I am planning to buy a humidifier and some ph drops. I have yet to check the ph, but I have only been giving them fresh delicious bottled drinking water. Let me know what you think! *kindphriend*

Looks good. Once they get a feell for their new surroundings they are going to grow like crazy. :D
 
So between the 24th and the 25th the plants were alone for over 24 hours. Don´t know if the light turned off by itself cause recently I have been having some problems with that. When I got back yesterday I saw that on two plants there was a little curling around the edges of the leaves(pictures) Is this from heat stress or lack of humidity. We are going to buy a humidifier this week cause right now the relative humidity is around 20% and I´ve got plates of water in the room and spray them every other hour, but I can´t get it to go up. Anyways, let me know what you think. *kindphriend*

Oh and i got one plant that has three pairs of leaves instead of two.......bottom right hand pic. What´s this all about?
 
Take a look at my girls. They are exactly three weeks old. Let me know what you think about the spacing of the nodes, color, size, well anything and everything you can comment about. Thank you!

Bro, can't wait to have celebratory burn session with those beauties!
 
So i´m thinking about cloning soon....any suggestions. They got some long branches on the bottom nodes but I think they might need to get some more leaves first. Please take a look and let me know. Any other comments are more than welcome.

They are growing about two new nodes every week now. Right now they have 5 sets of 5 pointers and are working on their sixth. They are extremely dense with about one inch between the nodes....some less! The tallest one is about 6 inches. I want to start budding at about 18 cause I have about 3-4 feet of growing space (6 feet total). Please let me know what you think.
