Wow, what a comeback from those plants Slingblade. The help and expertise at 420 mag is incredible. Good vibes your way. I will share some Blue Dream eye candy in a month or so. Cheers!!!!

Here we are today with my 2 blue dreams looking pretty good.. the one plant seems to be getting some purple/red looking stem but everything else looks very healthy so I'm not worried about it. I also have a 3rd one going in the little black pot, it's a mystery strain but it's 100% feminized seed.
Nice... so healthy looking!

Hey just another update with my 2 blue dream plants, things are looking pretty good. Just using city tap water and adjusting pH, using fox farm grow big nutes at about 1/4 to have 1/2 the general feeding dose twice a week. New growth on the bigger one is looking great I think
Looking good Sling...just as you want them.

Hey everyone so in looking to buy a new light for these two girls below... using cfl's right now. I'm growing in my basement so I have no restrictions on my grow space. Leaning towards led. I'm looking to spend about 200$ Canadian. Any suggestions?
I couldn't help you on LEDS... I don't know enough about them to make a recommendation. I would check out MARS since they are a sponsor and typically @SmokeSara is always poppin in to answer questions. They have a couple of new lights out now that people are talking about quite a bit. MIght even get a coupon code to use 
Glad to hear about the extra room you got.

Thanks for tag me in MrSauga, I think we can help. Hi slingbladesax we have many lights that is under 200 CAD. 
SP-150 is, and the new light which will release soon will also be cheap and good to use!

Hey guys so here we are today... I have a bit of abnormal drooping. I watered them the day before yesterday with about 1/4 strength nutes. The soil is very dry... I definately don't think I'm overwatering... maybe underwatering? I got about 200 watts of cfl on it right now about 12 inches above the tops, possible the plant is getting so big it needs more light?... My new hlg 135 qb comming in the mail in a couple days.
No yellowing but just some abnormal drooping. Hopefully the pics help you guys with suggestions. Oh and my fan I usually have on them got turned off by accident for about 10 hours but I don't think that would make them droop. Temp usually always stays between 18 and 26 degree Celsius.

Usually about 300 mL every 2 to 3 days and rh is usually steady at 30%
Sorry for the late response... got sidetracked.
That's not much at all. You'll need to start bumping that up. They should take about 2-3 liters right now.
How big are the pots? And they must feel pretty easy to lift correct?

Have you had a chance to read Emilya's tutorial on watering potted plants? If not, it's a must read. I don't often say that. There's a link in my signature.
Your plants are at the stage now where they are ready for a good wet/dry schedule.

7 gallon pots
OK, so they are not getting enough water. The soil is drying out. Start getting that surface area wet all the way around the pot now.
It will feel heavy when you're done. Feel it before you water it. You want to remember that for next watering. When it feels light like it does now, it's your cue to water again.

As an example, at around the same size of plants, mine in a 5gal pot were getting 4L roughly every two days. Your pots are bigger, so plan on 3-5 days initially before watering again. Most likely closer to five until they get bigger.

Good job Sling! They look better already. I do believe they could use more than that. Your top layer still looks dry, and after 24hours there should be some signs of dampness.
Next time give them 3L and see how they respond.

Looking great Sling, good medicine right there. The Blue Dream is the only non pharmaceutical that has helped with my back pain and arthritis. Cheers!!! 7 gallon pots are going to grow monsters.
