Hey everyone!
This is my first grow. I bought a 32x32 in grow tent, 250 watt digital ballast, 4" fan+filter combo and a reflector which turned out to be way too big. It basically takes up the whole tent (lengthwise)
Im using Fox Farm soil and will be using fox farm 3 part nutrients. Also I have botanicare's liquid karma and cal-mag.
The strains are:
Honey B x2
Dutch Passion Blueberry x2
Violator Kush
Afgan Kush Ryder (auto)
La Diva (auto)
I poped so many because I didnt think they'd all survive, but they did and as far as I can tell theyre doing good  heres day 18 pics:

starting to have some issues. First of all is it me or do all except one of the girls look really strechy? Secondly the upper leaf tips got burned overnight, but as u can see in the pic, the temps are fine, even though the light is only 12in away from the tops (also in a pic).
should I get more lights (couple cfls?) and pick the 250 watter up a few inches? Try to lower the temps? Start tieing them down?
Also, 1 plant has white blotches on the leafs. Anyone know what could cause that? This is the only one that stayed short, but with the same amount of leaf "sets". hope the picture is clear enouph, if not lmk.

I put in 8 23 watt cfls, so hopefully they wont strech more.
The temps are 80-83F (IS THIS NORMAL?)
How long would you guys say I should keep vegging? I means its already getting cramped and I read that they get 3x bigger in flowering.
Also I decided to try lst. It's the violator kush (tallest one).

Day 30.
Switched to 18/6 lighting. Also checked the pH of the water that came out the bottom of the pot when I watered, 6-6.5 for all of them. New growth still has yellow tips.
Do i start feeding? Start using supplements?(i have liquid karma and cal-mag) If so should i start at half strength even though they are 30 days old?
Also, I'm thinking of transplanting them to 3gal pots tomorrow. Good idea? I'm still worried i might not have enough space later on.
I'm just really lost cause it's been a month, and i haven't added anything except water and liquid karma(once). I feel like i'm starving them but there are no deficiencies...yet. Am i being paranoid? I guess my question is, Do they look healthy for their age?
Also some rusty-yellow spots appeared on the tops of the afgan kush ryder auto, but that was yesterday and the newest leafs are fine. I'd like to know what it was though.
Oh and did i tie them down correctly?
Left to right, starting at the top: Violator Kush; the 2 Blueberry's; 2 Honey B; close-up of spots on the afgan k ryder; the auto's (la diva is the short one); Group shot.

Day 36 (5 weeks)
transplanted the 5 photo plants to 3 gal pots and gave a big watering (about a gallon each). I also re arranged the lights and added 2 more 23watt cfl's. Unfortunately, i had no gorilla tape left so i used electrical, and it fell on the biggest branch of the Violator Kush ;( Only a few leafs have burn spots but im guessing she's gonna recover for a while (especially since this was right after transplanting).
Should i swich to 12/12 immediately or wait untill they start growing vigorously again? It's already getting cramped, but on the other hand the 2 auto's will be done in a few weeks and it'll free up some space.

^ Wrong question?
Anyway, the girls seem to have recovered from the transplanting and are finally showing signs of nute deff (I think). The stems (from the top down) are starting to turn purple/red and most of the first, one leaf, sets are yellowing a little.
The autos are already covered with trichs! i didn't expect that so soon. Supposedly, the afgan kush ryder has 3 weeks to go and la diva has 4, but it looks real skimpy for now-_-
I have a few questions about feeding.
1. Do i refer to the fox farm feeding chart?
2. Do i start with half or 1/4 dose? I can mix separate solutions for the sativa (they're the more sensitive ones right?)and indica dominant.
3. Do i even start feeding the sickly BB that still has burnt leaf tips?

Day 5 Flowering
I somehow managed to fck up the afgan kush ryder 
And i really had to water them (it was right b4 lights off that i noticed this) right then so i ran a gallon of water threw the akr and fed everyone:
8ml Tiger Bloom
5ml Liquid Karma
4ml CalMag
12ml Big Bloom
The ph of the runoff water was 6.5 for everyone. so i'm guessing this was cal deficiency?

Update:) day 21 flowering (65 days total)
Decided to take out the afgan kush ryder to give the big girls some more space, im probably not getting much off of it anyway and the trichs look milky. Ill keep it in a closet for a couple days before chopping, maybe it'll purp a little? Also took a sample nug from the middle of the plant, will report in a couple hours.
Big BB. n defficiency? The second pic is with the hps off.
