1st time Getting ready to flip to flower

I want to flip to flower. The tent is getting full. I have been using FF nutes. (Next grow, Jacks) Any advice before I switch to 12 x 12 lights? When do I start using "Tiger bloom? Should I go dark for a day before switching the light cycle? Flush before switching? So many questions. Just looking for some direction.

There are different strategies that folks adopt. My practice is to follow the nute schedule that is published by the manufacturer. I just flip the schedule without any dark period.

Probably want to do a little house cleaning before flip.
Fox farms soil feeding schedule calls for a flush when changing to 12/12 and every three weeks thereafter.
Add bloom when you flip.

You might want to take the opportunity now to move your plants out and zip yourself in the tent with everything on but the lights. Give your eyes 5 minutes or so to adjust and look for light leaks from outside, the power strip, the fan, timer, etc. if you find it, fix it and repeat the exercise. Seems like there’s led indicators on everything.

I’m really good at sitting in the dark. I will check for leaks :slight_smile:

Here is something I’m going to try this time per my grow stores recommendations, you just work some of this into the top layer of soil during flower, and supposedly you don’t need to feed anything else. I don’t know for sure yet, but thought I’d pass it along. I’m also using happy frog soil this time instead of ocean forest.

I changed lightingn6 days ago.
I have 3 plants out of 9 that look like this. Are the males?



@manitouboat
No. 1 yes
No. 2 maybe hard to see
No. 3 No
Use a little less than what your nutes say to use.
