You know you're losing 30% growth time just by turning those lights off, yes?

You'd have to veg for an extra 11-12 days to make up what you're losing by doing so.
Yes i understand this is a highly debated subject weather to use 18/6 or 24/0 for veg and from what i have read everyone says that one is not really better than the other. My question for you is have you ever used 18/6 for veg? Have you personally seen this 30% growth for your own grow? Sorry to question you but i would just like to know the truth on this subject. Oh and i checked out your girls man and they are looking very nice!!!:bigjoint:

i use an air filter in my grow room, you can find them at walmart, i think it does great for air flow.
it recycles the air in the room.

Is your yellowing leaf problem getting worse? looks like N deficiency to me, i'm not a soil guy but i'd give them a little bit of veg nutes now. 300ppm or bout 1/4th the recommended dosage, see if that doesn't help. Looking good though. & in my experience 18-24 hours of light a day doesn't make much of a difference, I leave my flouros on 24/7 but with HID's you pretty much are forced to have a dark period, too damn hot.

Good luck bro.

Thanks for the advice. I i havent used any nutes yet but i have some that i will use the next time i water and im hoping it will help the yellowing. I was looking on the grow FAQ'S and it looks like a magnesium deff. wich it says epsom salt will help. Butt not a 100% sure on that diagnoses

I used 18/6 back when I started, but switched to 24/0 not long after. Never fully developed a plant on 18/0, no.

I think they look pretty good! Did you add nutes? When and how much? I used the same type of soil and was wondering when I would be ok to add some?

I just used nutes for the first time today (3 weeks old yesterday) and you only want to use 1/4 of what the package recommends.
