I want to change my nutes today but not sure if i should do it today or after the plain water so would be after the nxt feed thn plain water. I do a 2 feed and thn water normally but this time i am trying 3 feed and 1 water today is ther 3rd feed but do i wait till after tht and the watering or should i try it out now incase i have an issue and i have to change it back so am thinking earlier the better. But if anyone can chime in and give me a better way then plz do as i dont have long and need to get thm fed. @garrigan62 @dbrn32 @daz49 @Countryboyjvd1971 @MattyBear @raustin @FloridaSon
You’re in soil right? It’s probably not going to matter too much. Even after a plain watering, your soil is still going to have nutrients available in it.
Not sure what the others think, but you may be better off waiting til you water and running a flush at that point. Then changing your nutes. I’ve never really done anything like that, so not sure, but it makes sense.

I’ve never changed nutes in the middle of a grow either, but a flush sounds likes a good idea. I would do a flush and then do a feeding with the new nutes.

I dont think a flush is the way to go i will just give them water for a few times first then start however will check first. Thanks tho. But lets ask some others and see what they think. Take into consideration am about to go into the 2nd week of flower so am not keen on changing but have no choice since i have run out of certain parts of the line i was doing and i wont pay the price for some of them as its pretty expensive for 250ml bottles of the stuff and i already have the stuff i wanted to use but it didnt arrive in time and i started using them thought i wouldnt of needed to use them more thn once or twice but things happened and had to use for 5 nearly 6wks. I think if i have to change think now is the time since its not quite flower but nearly there so. Whats the verdict should i flush or will a couple of plain waters do the job. Or will i just start after my plain ph’d watering on a lower dose. @garrigan62 @dbrn32 @FloridaSon @Countryboyjvd1971 @Shuggz @Sasquatch @daz49 @anon95385719

For my opinion I’d just change your nutrients, just swap over with what you have done already, I started using flower power nutrients then tried the canna range and now use a combination of the 2 so just go for it I’ve got to say I had great grows with both and the combination , I only have just over a year of growing and 4 grows under my belt so maybe @Hogmaster and @Countryboyjvd1971 or @WillyJ ,they have more experience than me

Thanks guys i really do appreciate all you guys &girls hel. On another note i have decided i am going to use the pvc pipe i was going to use to build my dripper system after this grow. So insteadi am going to build a scrog net just to be safe since i have very little height to play with and i dont know what they are the safest option is to have one and not need it. So i will try to build that today does anyone have an idea on sizes or the best way to build one. Would be great help thanks @garrigan62 @dbrn32 @Sasquatch @daz49 @Shuggz @Countryboyjvd1971. Any thoughts on it. I was thinking if i build it a certain way i can still use it for the dripper system aswell for the future so i have the height i need for a gravity fed system i also have a water pump there etc for a homemade hydroponics system i was going to do aswell so i have alot of bits and bobs i was going to use in the future. I do like to be prepared.

You can buy one on eBay for under £10 which I’ve done but I must say I didn’t like that because it’s easier to cut the net after, the first one I made myself with string which is easily done and after that I got a scrog design from @kabongster, I think it was, he sent me the plans and I made it and it’s a scrog for life and I just string it

Here’s the design I used and am still using. Mobile, adjustable and cheap. I also carry them around with it.
Thanks all of you for the help and here is my end result i will fit it later on tomz or the nxt day.
And some new pics today as i go into 2nd week of flower.
Thy are looking good just hope there arent any males here but only time will tell fingers crossed i dont but with my luck thy might all turn into males as thts my luck anyway its been fun even if thy do but i dont want tht i want to see how much better a yeild i can get this time with these so if i use feminized ones then i will know wat i have and will know wat kind of yeild to expect. @daz49 @dbrn32 @garrigan62 @Sasquatch @Shuggz @Countryboyjvd1971 . I think i am doing not to bad with all the new techniques i have learnt i cant wait to try them with auto’s and feminized. But topping and fimming isnt a good idea although it is possible to do. Anyway whats the views my friends. ??

Bit confused here how can there be different temps in my tent i have 3 themometers and all work fine etc but there is a 2 degree difference from the bottom of the pots to just about same height as the lights 27.1 at bottom and 29.2 at top and the middle is 28.4 is this ok or am i running a bit hot. I must admit my temps have been pretty good so far good temps at lights on only a couple of occasions i had 31degrees but tht was sorted once i switched extractor on all day. Night temps never drop under 21 but mostly it sits around 23 to 24 degrees. So am pretty happy with tht. But would rather be able to keep it alot steadier however tht will come with time experience and better equipment. Which i will purchase in time. I will purchase a couple of thing by inkbird one regulates heat the other humidity. But i will wait before investing in that.
Hot air rises and is closer to the lights

An oscillating fan would move the air around. Perhaps that would even out your temps, but Justgrowin has the likely answer.

Thanks my friends i have the fans but not an osilating one as the one i do have is to big for my tent but i think for now i wont worry to much since everything is doing fine the babies are growing nicely and hopefully thy turn into beautiful ladies and an even better smoke. However if i need to add another fan i can do so but finding somewere to put a large 8 or 10inch fan will be hard. But am sure i would find somewere to put it.
