Quick Update, Plants are growing well! The Cheese's are getting big as well. I have decided to start flowering on Wednesday. Should I do a flush before hand? Should I give them 24 hours of darkness? whats the best way to move into the flowering stage?? any help is appreciated guys!

 

[Equanimity]

when i switched to flower i just waited til the lights were on and then changed the timer to 12/12 with no break (in my case, the first light period in the flowering stage lasted 20 hours). I never flushed either.

 

[Stratonite]

Thanks Equanimity!

The Lights are on for their first 12/12 cycle with the Red Spectrum side of the bulb pointing down. Looking forward to seeing the plant come to life in the next few weeks!

Should I start using my Bloom feed right away? any tips for this part of the grow?

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i would keep the blue until first signs of preflowers 10 to 14 days, helps with the 2 weeks stretch , then change red for budding , also feed with grow until then , then flush and use bloom , just me opinion

looking super though, happy fecking days !!!

The Girls are growing like mad since the 12/12 switch! loving how they are looking at the minute.

I really don't know what to do about lighting, My goal for the 3 plants is 4oz (that might be a bit ambitious) and I know more light would produce more yield but the electricity costs are already noticeable and I cant really afford much more. will the 300 dual spectrum cfl offer me enough light to get any where near 4oz?

I hope you hit over 4oz I got 45w more than you and less space. I was hoping for 120-140g

Lets hope we are close!
