Do these plants look ok? 3 weeks flowering

Hey all. I have a few plant growing seed type unknown but they were the "bonus" seeds from my WW order. Saving those for when I know what I'm doing ;-) I started the plants up until yesterday under 90w triband UFOs from HTG with 3 65W Fluorex CFLs and 3 other 23w cfls clip ons AND a 48" fluro with one soft and one natural bulb. I vegged for too long so I took up too much growth in the space. I did a hack job at LSTing about a week ago on the largest plant. I wish I knew what the strains were on these plants!

I broke down and bought a 400w hps and added it to 2 triband 90w UFOs, and one 65w Fuorex CFL yesterday but in the meantime I'm looking for feedback on how these look.
I'll update the post with the images.

I vegged for around a month or so before flowering.(abit late but i didn't know the bonus seed strains)

Miracle Grow organic potting soil (all i could get at the time)
3 gal containers
No nutes during veg as MG had it in it already
24 hr veg
Now on 12/12 flower (approx 3 weeks)
Started with MG bloom ferts for 3 weeks and just switched to BC Bloom and the combo of vitamins and carbs and shit.
Ph is around 7
78-80 day
75 night
50% humidity (i have a mini-dehumidifier and a few moisture absorbon bags)



Let me know what you think. Thanks!

added missing info

No...

Any ideas for fixing the situation would be most appreciated. TY

looks as if they should have got more light or veg

Since it's my first grow I wanted to go with the 90w ufos and I think I may have had them too far from the tops. it was several feet above. I'm hoping the 400w HPS will save the crop. I figure I still have 5-7 weeks left of flowering. I'm not convinced it was because of leds but the distance from the plant i had them. I'll know better next time.

The preceding post is purely fictional for entertainment purposes only.

I hope they fill in. I'm really suprised that adding a 400w hps in a 4x4 space with the other lights didn't add much heat. I still wonder if I should add a few more 2700k cfls in the sides but the 2 90w ufo's and the 400hps with the 65w Fluorex should be enough for 4 plants about 2-4' tall anyone agree?

How far do you keep the light from the plants?

They look like they might be to big for a 3 gal. pot.

It looks very stretched out, although very sativa dominant traits could be part of this, it sort of looks like lighting to me.

I keep the leds only a few inches away and the hps about 10". Do you think it would be safe to transplant into bigger containers at three weeks? There was one thing a neglected to mention. It only happened maybe 2 times but I had a light accident where the digital timer clkicked on during the dark time for a few hours. I was more worried about hermies but maybe the light issue has something to do with it? I was wondering about transplanting but heard it doesn't always go well.

anybody have any ideas?

Giblet .. Looks like you have some hash there buddy. good luck for your next run.

id just wait it out dude

i'm trying to decide wether i should transplant today to 5 gal or not..

it wont make much diff you need a longer vegging period

and its too late for that

fresh start! fresh start!

fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start! fresh start!

Vegging period isn't going to fix a pH problem.

Your plants are making 1-bladed leaves exclusively and look to have strange deficiency/toxicity problems. You need to check and correct your pH (if there's a problem, but I'm betting there is).

edit: I notice the op says your pH is "around 7"? How are you testing it and what is it exactly? Between the pre-amended soil and addition of bloom ferts, you are probably massively overfertilizing and causing bad things to happen either by pH problems or extreme nutrient lockout. pH is much more commonly screwed up. If it's above 7 at all, it's too high. Proper range for soil is 6.5-7, but closer to 6.5 seems more optimal.

id let em grow, looks like you are gonna end up with a pretty big cola when they fatten up.

thanks bulletcatcher. i just transplanted the larges plant to a 5gal. used superthrive to help with stress and used a better organic soild for the fill in. i'll double check the ph. i have a crappy 3 prong ph tester. i do have a capsle test i can try.

just did a ph test and the color code is looking like between 6.5-7

If your pH is fine, it's probably just extreme overfertilization. Water with plain water the next couple times and see if things improve.
