That could be that the nitrogen is too high...someone told me that the very bottom leaves are like dumpsters for the plant, if it has too much of something or something it doesn't want it moves it to those lower leaves, my plant all have the same thing.

Thats sort of the right idea, but your mixed up a little bit. The plant uses mobile and immobile elements. Nitrogen is mobile, so when the plant is running low on nitrogen, it starts with the oldest, lowest leaves first, sucks the nitrogen out of that, and moves it to the top of the plant where it can continue new growth receiving the most light. If your having yellowing at the bottom, its time to feed it nitrogen.

hmm anything i could give it something with no chemical to feed it some nitrogen?

yes a hps will help now. yes you can veg with an hps, i do and i my internodal growth is very tight. an hps is good for both veg and flower they are more efficient and have much better light penetration than cfls. imo cfls are only good for seedlings and clones.

cfls are not only good for clones and seedlings- you obviously never done a grow with just cfls
i have made full grows with only cfls and they where great, but iam not gona say the yealds where
but for a pearson with low budget and temp restrictions etc they are great because its the best we can afford to have

i guess i answered an old post but what i said stays
