If your ph level is high use a couple of drops of white vinegar!!!!

I would let them veg for 6 weeks total. I bought some Ph up and down and its well worth the investment.

your plants will double or triple after you start 12/12, if you have the space then let them veg longer so you get a better yield. what strain are you growing? what was your actual ph? you should start feeding them.

I would drop the PH to 6.5 ish and start a mild "grow" fert at 1/2 recommended dosage. Give them another 2 weeks and then switch your lights to 12/12. Continue with the grow nutes for the first week of 12/12 then switch over to a "bloom or flower" fert.

Do you have access to a hydro store? If so, they will be able to help you. If not...a grow nute is higher in nitrogen. The first number is the nitrogen and the numbers look like this 5-1-1 or 15-5-10.

A bloom or flower nute's middle number is higher like 1-5-5 or 15-30-15.

Regardless, only use at 1/2 strength to start off.....actually, I start at 1/4.

biobizz, foxfarm, age old organics, advanced nutrients...all have good products. i like age old grow for veg, and biobloom for flowering. i also use bat guano as a dressing.
