man what a mission downloading those picks on dailup lol. first of all i dont think you got any nute probs ,try do something about those temps,you dont want it to herm,maybe you could try just 3-4 lights per plant,strategically placed,they dont really need much light at that size just get em nice and close,ive only got 6 lights on 4 plants in bud. also a few questions so i can help out a bit better:
1.what is the quality of the water your using?(collect rain if you can,half fill a bottle and shake the shit out of it to aerate it) 2.do you mist your plants?(cos it looks like they have dried tap water on em) i only ever bother misting clones until they have rooted,there isnt any point in misting plants,they do better without it,any impurities build up on the surface of the leaves over time,also plants need to transpire water up the roots and stems and out the surface of the leaves,if its wet it cant transpire,also if the heat or humidity climbs to high it will stop transpiring.classic symptoms of this are drooping and softening of the leaves and cell death(spots) when it gets bad enuf 3. any idea what the humidity is? if your lucky and its cold enuf where ever you are you can do this cfl thing with no ventilation like i have been doing,but i cant go over 6 lights or it gets to hot and humid,and my on cycle is at night when its cooler,im also watering as little as possible and not misting at all to try keep the humidity under control,i also open the door and blow strog fan on them to keep the stems strong 1-2 times a week,the rest of the time i have no moving air because it only adds to the humidty problem. Next time round im adding a fan for ventilation/odour control so i can add more lights and get temps/humidity lower,this im sure will result in bigger buds,feel free to pm me if you got any questions.

lol damn i bet it did take forever.....i dont mist them at all....only clones...i think heat is my problem....during the day i leave the door open as far as it will go to keep the temps down...and they usually stay around the mid to high 70s but when i close the door it goes above 80 and that seems to b a major problem. and i have 2 fans goin constantly....1 at my door to blow the cold air from my room into the closet and then one on top of my whole setup blowin against the wall and then off the wall to the plants...so they are barely moving all the time...and my humidity usually stays around 40% i sometimes turn on my decorational fogger that i have just sittin in the room in case i wanna get the humidity alil higher...but it nvr gets to high i dont think. and for the water i use tap water that i condition and let sit for awhile so i get the chlorine out....and the ph is correct....i only water once the dirt has gotten almost completely dry...well i mean basically dry an inch down in the soil...iv learned how to water very well i dont think im over or under doing it....im pretty sure heat is my problem...but thx for the info man lemme know if u have anymore advice +rep

Leaf curl, as far as I'm aware, is almost always indicative of a heat issue. A simple way to bring those temps down is to freeze a 3/4 full 20oz bottle of water and set that in front of whatever fan is blowing on the plants...or maybe a bowl of ice water. I think your heat issues will end up being resolved via the intake rather than the exhaust...try to pull cooler air into your garden.

This pic looks as though it's covered in a fine layer of dust. If that's discoloration and not just stuff on your leaves, then I'd say you need to find some kinda micronutrient suppliment...Cal/Mag, Iron, Molybdenum and stuff like that.

This last set of pics isn't focused very well. With an auto focus camera, you need to take a couple shots, each time moving exactly where the camera is pointed, and just keep the clearest ones...the camera will tend to try to focus on whatever it is pointed directly at, so try to aim at the tops more than the center of mass. It's tough to get good close ups focused on the part of the plant you're actually trying to show.

Looking good so far. :leaf:

deff looks like that but there isnt....its the way the flash is reflecting off the leaves. ya im working on my heat issues now....trying to do the frozen water thing as much as possible and i have 2 fans....1 thats in the room on top of the whole setup i have...pointing at the wall and bouncing to hit the plants and then i have another fan that is pulling cold air from my room to the closet. which deff makes a difference. how else can i get my temp down?
