edit: oh and p.s. - where the hell do you live in the US where it is STILL getting to 30°?! alaska...? it's like 90°+ here every day and it's still two months away from the hottest part of the year. :[

Ya i guess i should go get somemore lights.

And ya i live in utah in the mountains sommeewhere and u can still see frost in the mornings when you wake up so it gets pretty cold.

If you have used fertilizer with good n any time soon this should not be the problem. I just reread... the superthrive is just a vitamin/hormone tonic, but the tetra whatever is a nute, but not the best if it's the same premixed stuff my wal-mart sells which i think it is. I'd get some pure blend pro, or maxi grow. These are cheaper 2 part solutions grow/bloom, and work great for the newer grower. The pure blend pro being my first choice as it is a liquid solution.

I start vegging my plants under 35-42 watt cfls. cfls in this range of wattage throw about 1700, 2200 lumens per bulb, but must be literally an inch or two away from the tops of the plants. For small plants they work fine, but once they reach 10-12 inches they don't hit those lower leaves with as much light. It may be time for some more lighting.. place one shining in from the side, and keep them close.

now thats what i wanted to hear. I dont think the leaves turned yellow tho because of that nitrogen thingy because today they crumbled bewtween my fingers haha but it would be nice if thats what was happening to them. Im going to go to wallmart today i guess and look for that maxi grow and pure blend pro stuff.



Does anyone think that if i put them outside each day from like 3:10 pm tooo like 7-8pm that will be a good enough amount of normal light per day and then i move them back into the closet for the night till the next day?
