1st time grower! seeking advice/opinions *Pics*

hey guys!


**New update 4/19 bottom of page**



ok, so I have 3 plants growing(all bag seed)


plant a 15"
plant b 8.5"
plant c 8.5"

my grow tent is 5 feet tall and I would like to go into flowering mode pretty soon so I make sure it wont outgrow my tent.

i tested my soil today and it showed 6.5


questions

1. on my bottle of botanicare grow and bloom is says under the transition section to use 7.5ml does this mean that I mix the 2 together or should I just use the bloom?

2. with plant "B" and "C" being only 8.5" will i be able to flower them as well? I read somewhere that I could but yield would be low(dont care much this was just an experiment)

3. when I got home from work today I noticed the main stalk on plant "A" has a red streak on it and some upper leaves have red stems...is this bad?




thanks for all the help! this is an awesome forum for noobs such as myself!

Boom is for flowering. You don't want to mix veg and flow nutes together no..
Yield won't be as much? Haha. You'll get atleast another 3" in flowering. So expect atleast a half oz.
The amber color is normal. Flower away bro!

i just watered my plant with plain water yesterday 4/16 i was thinking of waiting til there next watering and water with the bloom and do 24 hours of dark then switch to 12/12....does this sound accurate?

You don't have to do 24 dark. If you don't want too. Personally I would flower them now, 11/13. And then start with the nutes on the next water cycle. Just me though

I went straight to 12/12 not having a dark period during the transition. Not sure if there is a benefit to it. I read that the light cycle isn't truly recognized until about 3 days at 12/12, or the 10 hours of darkness a day required to initiate flowering.

But your suppose to have a base when using flowering nutes, so wouldnt you need to mix the two?

Yes and no.
I use fox farms ocean forest that's good for nutes the first 6 weeks. By then there already flowering and I use ionic bloom and boost. The grow I don't need.

It ALL depends on the nutrients
