Claw-like leaves

Why did you go from 12/12 from right seed..... you can't do that.... you got to give time to the plant to mature first......

CFL's are not going to cause claw like leaves dude; only if they are an inch away from the plant........

sounds like to me you did not do much reasearch before plopping those seeds into the soil..... not reading up a bit causes a lot of problems during the grow.....

Actually it's fine (although not ideal) to grow from 12/12 with seed because they will not flower until they are mature enough. Most strains grown from 12/12 will not show sex until about 4 weeks of age. The problem with doing 12/12 from beginning to end is stretching and less vegetative growth resulting in lower yield in the end. But that doesn't mean you cannot do it. Not everybody has the luxury of a veg chamber.
I've grown several strains from beginning to end. It's not the best thing to do but it can be done. Especially if you use the same light from beginning to end.

Rooted clones on the other hand, will flower as soon as they get under 12/12.

Well ya you can, what I mean is I was asking him why he did it more than he was wrong in doing it in the first place,

you can use tap water to water your plants.....just check the ph before you water and make any necessary adjustments and water as normal. you can transplant them, gently tie down and any growth you are worried about shooting to high to your lights. or possibly, lay a screen, i.e. chicken wire, over the plant, in an attempt to keep the height down....however, you will need to tie the screen down so it doesn't just grow up with the plant. good luck. if you can get some pictures or some better description as to what is going on in your room it would be easier to answer any questions..........it's not terribly hard to grow herb...if you are having trouble, it could be that you are making it harder than it is....

Checking water pH to adjust your soil's medium is not going to work; that works in hydro yes; but not soil..... the soil pH will onl.y change temp and not long enough to make an impact so in order to control your soil ph you have to add amendments to the soil like lime, wood ashes, coffee grounds and such to control it up or down.
 
I need to buy an instrument to check pH... I flushed my girl out yesterday w/almost 2 gallons of water and im hoping she'll clear up :/..Some of the full fan leaves are very dry and brown, i guess that was from the heavy dose of nutes..Will this flush help anything out that has already been damaged? Or does it mean things should be healthier from her on out? On a good note...starting to see some resin production :DDDDD

just flush her out and keep on going... finish this one up so your next time you will start off better.

i dotn quite buy that ph + soil stuff stitch was saying, ive seen my plants in FFOF react to ph just as fast as some of my hydro girls.

All the stuff that is damaged from the nutrient burn will stay damaged; after a flush you may see some other leaves affected, but not progress... this is caused by damage that was occurring, but was not showing on the plant yet. When you flushed did you flush until it came out clear? If you flushed right your growth should get better; but wait a bit before you feed her; let her recover; the bad thing about flushing is when you do; you also rinse out nutrients that was in the soil too.....
 
yeah the water was clear by the end of the flush..There hasn't been any new growth, no more leaf sets have grown. After the next watering im gonna start to feed again but this time the correct amount. I juz cant wait till my baby starts growin buds and producing more resinn!! Thanks again yall for all the feedback i really appreciate it! Im still workin on gettin a few pics up to really show yall what is goin on..Some leaves look veryyy bad :/
