just started my grow cycle

hi just changed my bulbs and am starting my bloom cycle i am using soil that has 6 wks of nutes in so havent nuted for the veg state should i be diluting my bloom nutes still ?

also how dark is dark ? i heard that i can encourage more males if is is not dark enough

my lights will be off during the day stupid i know but my electric is cheeper at night. it is in a closet i have a blackout blind and curtains the room is darkish during the day but i'm guessing the closset is gonna be pretty dark ? the onle light that can enter is from the fans ?

Soil that has timed released stuff in it is not the best stuff in the world. So yes diluting right now is probably good. Best to error on the side of going a little light with the ferts vs. burning them.

Hold your hand about two feet in front of your face. If you can see your hand it is too light.

thanks its pretty dark in there and smelly so when do i start increasing my nutes ? from quarter strength

Why advise someone to dilute their bloom nutrients when you haven't got the slightest clue Mogie if those plants need nutrients or not at this current time, nor have you got the slightest clue what levels he needs to be feeding at if at all.

Bad advice.

When you figure out when the plants need an increase of nutrients. This isn't painting by numbers, there's no set formula for success.

Watch your plants and understand what they're telling you.
