Hi everyone,
I am a first time grower. I am growing 4 ladies in my balcony closed with sliding windows so I can adjust the air circulation by sliding the windows as needed. In the region I live sunrise is at 5:45 a.m. and sunset is 8:30 p.m. I planted them at the end of April and my plants are in their 10th week of grow now. They receive direct sunlight from sunrise to noon (12:00) and indirect light until the sunset (14-15 hours in total). Temperature is around 30ºC/86ºF during the day and 22ºC/71ºF at nights. I am not so sure about the strain, my friend who gave me the seeds thinks they are some kind of Skunk.
About 4 weeks ago I started to feed my plants with GHE Flora Series (Gro/Micro/Bloom). I always check PH (between 6-6.5) and I add 1 drop of Hesi Supervit per 4.5 liters (1.2 US Gallon) of water. Drainage of the pots are good enough and I feed/water them every 5-6 days.
I thought my plants were still in the growing stage so I was applying the vegetative formula but now as I see them flowering I doubt it. All of the plants started to make buds and some of the pistils are already brownish. Could any of you experienced growers have a look at the pictures below and let me know which stage my plants are in? Should I keep applying the vegetative formula or should I switch to flowering feeding?
If they are in the flowering phase, then I may have another problem. My balcony is exposed to direct street-lights at nights. I was planning to use black plastic garbage bags to cover my plants to simulate 12 hours dark period. Do you think that works or should I just leave it natural as it is?
Thank you for any answers in advance.
