So she is 8 days away from flower time, she is already showing pre flower sites, just wondering what else I need to do? I plan on switching her to 18/6 a cpl days before the switch to ease her in, I have fed her once this week already, using happy frog soil , big grow, big bloom, and tiger bloom all from fox farm for medium and nutes, I did what the bottles recommended for dosage and diluted by a fourth, gonna feed her twice a week. Other then that she seems ok, some of the leafs seem a little dried out further away from center but otherwise, what do you guys think or suggest? Oh soil ph 6.8 water 6.5. Lighting is full spectrum LED with veg and bloom switch, oh and btw should I switch her to just a red bloom light during flowering? Or full spectrum?
Full spectrum. She will grow quite a bit during the first few weeks of flowering.
Diluting FF by a forth is a good move. The FF feed schedule is very aggressive.
Are you monitoring runoff PPM? Runoff PPM should be your guide for the feeding schedule.
When I used the FF Trio I would feed water feed. If you don’t have any, get some calmag. Always needed some when they started flower. Learned to use it routinely on water days rather than wait for sign of deficiency.
If you are going to use silica you can start adding. Just watch PPM
Plant looks good.
@MidwestGuy no not measuring the runoff but next time I shall, I’m just trying to figure out do I feed her at the end of the week, like the seventh day? Or the sixth? I honestly over did it a bit to see what she would do, call me dumb for experimenting but, have her one full gallon, warm, and slowly with the nutes added of course. Oh and I should prob move my light you think? It’s 15’ away now, I’m just not sure how close the colas can be to the light without being damaged or affected in a negative way
If the you can feel heat on the back of your hand when held at the canopy level, then your light is too close.
What day you add nutes isn’t going to make much difference. I would want to know what your runoff PPM is before nutes are added at all.
