I would love to pm you but I do not know how

You need to have 50 posts, then you press the envelope in the menu bar on top...
Your plants look healthy by the way, and if you are going to top them, let me suggest a week of rest before going into flower.

Ok so new pics today. It is day 32-33 . I think they are looming great. Got two new 1200 watt lights about 4 days ago. Lol they are the cheapest I have bought and they so far are the brightest at 18” they are 75400 on the lux meter with a awasomely spectrum is very full, peaking in the red and blue areas that are exspected!!! And look!!!!
So now I am running 2 1200w veg/bloom switch with veg at 18” 45750 on lux meter and over 75400with both on. And one full spectrum 1000w 18”@45000 on lux meter is made by biggest name in the business. And 1 1000w with veg and bloom switches 18”@24500 on lux both switches on!!lol it amassed me that a light 4 times less money out preformed on of the biggest led names in bussiness by 4 times better. Lol
But this is my first grow what do I know???!!’ Lol

I am watering at 63 ph then adding Fox farms grow big a 4 tblsp per gallon. at every feed. But I really don’t know what o am doing.??? Any pointer would be much help. And when do I start bud cycle? I am not sure how long I let these grow before I put in flowering cycle

I am following this thread for 2 reasons... The main one being your grow looks awasomely great!. But the second by far is the entertainment I am getting from the voice text...

Also as for when to flip I am in the same boat as you and I am pulling the trigger on Monday (unless told otherwise by then) lol But I do know i've heard they grow double to triple the size in flower if that helps make ur decision.

Congrats so far

Hey I was hoping someone could help me with when am I post to put into flower cycle? My lady’s are 35 days old and I posted pics two days ago.

And Is any special proceedors I need follow? Or is keep every thing the same and just change light to 12/12.? Do I change my feeding regiment and ferts and newts? I think everything looks good just not sure. And how long does flower cycle last? When do I harvest ect ect ect.....??? Help help HELP LOL thank you guys for The advice and help.!!!!

 

[Brunobudman]

Help when do I start flower cycle... is 36 days. How bigger will they get from now until I harvest.!! Which newts And ferts should I use to promo flowering soil in black gold 25%|fox farm oceans forest 50%|25% natures care pour organic potting soil. Ph ranges from 63 to 67.

My grow tent is 96” tall and plants are 32” on the ground. How much taller will they get though bud cycle. When should I start cycle?? How long in flowering cycle to harvest???

Flipping I think is a bit of a choice. If you don't they will just keep growing. Take a look at Dutch's thread, they were supposed to be auto and ended up not so they got a lot of veg time. You can probably flip anytime you want and they will double + in size during flower (at least is my understanding).

Most seem to adjust their nutes during flower as the plant will require less N and more PK.

But maybe check out a few journals of the pros and get a feel for what they are doing.

 

[Brunobudman]

Again thanks anyother help out there?! How can I get more people to chime in and help?

 

[Stirstick]

I would honestly hop on one of the others threads and ask (that's what I do). The answers are out there if you can sift through the vast amount of info on here.

 

[GanjaPreneur420]

I would say your plants look healthy enough and big enough to flip based on the 96" grow size but I would imagine you would have to minus 12" for equipment at the top?? that doesn't leave too much area left for growth. AS far as the nutes go that really is just a user preference. But I would assume whatever brand of nutes you currently have been using for veg would have came with or has a schedule chart either online or a hard copy. Generally those schedules are used as a generic guideline and some people adjust based on how their plants are going.

Hope this helps,

am watering at 63 ph then adding Fox farms grow big a 4 tblsp per gallon. at every feed.

4 tablespoons of Grow Big is a lot of Grow Big! You should pH your water after you mix up your nutes. What flowering nutes do you have on hand?

I'd say flipping time is near. These plants look pretty indica so they may not stretch as much as a sativa but they could at least double in size and you will need head room for all those lux.

 

[Brunobudman]

yes I think it is time to flip. I CBC god bud. 26% sativa / 75% incidica. I have fox farms open sesame ,big bloom,& tiger bloom. Should I was all three?

 

[InTheShed]

Once you flip I would start the Open Sesame, like 1/8th tsp/gallon, and do a blend of Grow Big and Tiger Bloom for the next two weeks, and then phase out the Grow Big and up the Tiger Bloom. Do you measure the PPMs of your nutes?

 

[Brunobudman]

Lol what is that?????

 

[Brunobudman]

And when I flip do I put in total darkness for x amount of time. It seams kinda wired to put I. Total darkness . In nature that never happens. Seams like you woukd want to back lights down slowly until you reach 12/12?

 

[Brunobudman]

Also I received my new 315w cmh (lec) light today. With 3100 k bulb. I am wondering if I can mix my led lights and my cmh lights though budding phase?

 

[InTheShed]

PPM is parts per million. Basically tells you how strong your nute water is. Veg plants get one range, flower another. You use a measuring device called a PPM or TDS (total dissolved solids) meter. They're about $20 and most growers have one. PPM and pH are what you measure when mixing nutes.

You could lower your lighting over time but it's completely unnecessary and delays your harvest. Many go with 24 hours dark and then 12/12.

Mixing lighting sources is fine. Heat and light burn are your only concerns.

 

[Brunobudman]

Oh also look at the middle of my new growth it look very light yellowish/green to me??? Is this normal or ????

 

[InTheShed]

New growth is lighter than old growth, but what's up with the crushed leaves at 6:00?

 

[Brunobudman]

Oh I had put a netting on way to early had to remove it and move it up. Plus one of my plants are taller than rest . How do I get canopy even?

 

[Brunobudman]

And I have ph meter. I water at 6.3. Where should ppm be at?
