ya i was reading u wanted a low n for flowering, but it makes sense that some is still needed in the early stages of flowering. I have some mg all purpose. 20-20-20. what do you think about that? how much? just some ques. im thinking if i use it only like 1tsp ever other watering?
Yeah that will be fine at this stage.
Start out 1/4 of recommended dosage.
Better to start out on the weaker side than to fry them.

so i decided not to ad any nutes right now. what do you guys think about that? i kinda just wanna wait till i get some good nutes rather then use the 20-20-20 all purpose mg shit. some of the leaves have some yellowing on the tips and some spots on a couple leaves is this something to worry about or is this normal? Just a few questions i need help with guys. i will update with some pics a little bit later tonight. she is getting big. and today is about day 10 of flowering..what signs should i see of flowering on the plant, as far as stems, pistols, leaves.....

hey guys whats up. so today i went out and bought 2 68w cfls to ad to my cab. i have all 4 lights now mounted over my baby...and since last time i updated quite a few things have changed. welll the lights first off all...im hoping the more lumens will help my colas swell.. i also bought some 15-30-15 bud booster. the box called for a tbsp per gallon...so i filled a gallon of distelled with maybe a little over half a tbsp. i used that to water tonight. i have been watering every 3 days and using 3-20oz bottles. so i have read to do half the reccomended dosage...also to only use the nutes every other time i water. let me know what u guys think about this cuz im lost on the subject of nutes. k well the plant now is about 2 weeks into flowering and has some buds forming. i can even see some things on the hairs that look like trichs. is it too early for them or is that what it is? i havent really been pressed to post pics cuz i dont have a good cam right now and can only take the shitty ones like u see above. well please let me know what u guys think.,,i will prolly still post some pics later idk...time to blaze...:joint::joint::joint:

First signs are the leaves starting to curl under.
We call this the 'claw'.
Then the leaf tips will start to show discoloration.
Flushing is the answer.

Yeah dude.
Always start out with a lower dose.
With all growing you need to be able 'read' your plants.
It's the key, and it comes with practice.

You will either notice deficiencies or over doing it.

Always easier to treat a deficiency than over nuting ;)

hey guys i took a few pics tonight when the lights came on. only can get 2 to upload so here they are


i know the pics suck but there the best i can do for now. im workin on getting a cam with some macro.

so today is day 30 overall, and day 15 of flowering. the flowers are starting to form nicely now, and starting to stink a little. there isnt any signs of nute burn, so thats good. the plant does have some kind of nute def tho because there has been yellow spots on some of the leafs for a little while now. i just started my first dose of nutes last watering...so should that help clear up the yellowing? none of the leafs are all yellow, just spots and some tips. other than that, do you guys think that i should ad the same amount of nutes every other watering now? im def not gonna use any the next watering. but the next one should i again?
all the help is great. keep it comin :joint:

guys...what up.. so now i got my cam and some good pics (decent at least). the plant never showed any signs of nute burn since i first added the nutes for the first time. so i water every 3 days and i added regular distelled water. that time i upped my watering from 3 20oz bottles, to 4 20 oz bottles. which is about half a gallon. then three days later i watered with a half gallon of the nute mix. which is half the recommended dosage mixed in with a gal. of distelled. the first day after the plant seemed to love the shit out of the nutes. flowers grew alot, and the stems at the top by the colas are getting pretty thick. the lights are coming on in like 20 mins so i plan on taking some new pics and letting you guys see whats been goin on. some nice shit.

everyone pull up ur chair...and get the tray and the bong...its gonna get good.
