Flowering help!

[Ms. 420]

This is my first time growing and I know she's petite, but you live and you learn. My question is when should I know she's done? And when should I add nutrients (if at all) I have fox farm big bloom, grow big, and tiger bloom. She's almost 8 weeks old. She's in a 5 gallon pot with 5 CFL's on her (3 2700k and 2 6500k) I'm going to add another 2700k today. Please help!

Berry Ryder from Castle Seeds. I think flowering just started earlier this week, it's been pre flowering for two I think. I have one 100 watt 6500k and two 100 watt 2700k, the rest are 60 watts. I'm using just soil I got from Walmart but I will definitely be using something else next time due to gnats. Do you recommend any for next time?

you still
got a while
i start bloom feedings about this time @ 1/4 strength
and i was wondering what the sand was about
apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap in a dish will help with them
the fans will yellow about 2 weeks before its prime
you have about 5-6 weeks left if i had to guess

are they big cfl's ? like foot ball sized ?

i use a soil/ soilless blend
ive heard good things about promix
i always end up mixing my own its so much cheaper

It has been awful! I swear I had over 100 of those asses flying around all the time. Finally I've got them gone! They're big CFL's then the others are normal sized. Ah I can't wait for it to be done I'm so excited that it's actually working! Thanks so much!

I'm going to have to do a little more research because I am clueless to what you're talking about
