Yeah, I mean in all honesty (even posted this tibit of advice on another thread), search for either a 5000W or 10,000W HPS strobe light and keep it on 24/7 in your tent about .5inches from the top of your plant.
Whoa. I never thought of it, but a strobe going 24/7 is the same as 12/12. It's just quickly on and off all the time. Radical.
It is best to flush about 2 weeks before harvest, if you don't it won't do any harm to the plant but in the end you would be smoking nutrients and if it comes to edibles that is even worse.
1st an auto will flower when it wants to start and i would have had it under a hps from week 1
later edit, I think the ~I~ meant to be an ~it~...
see i dont flush at all as the last 2 weeks of the plants life is the most vital the buds need the nutrients mor towards the end than before as its comming close to finishing the plant is putting all its might into your buds and i have flushed my plants in the past and noticed my plants where yellow and looking sorry for them selfs so what i now do is feed them full strenth till 2 weeks befor e the end and then half strenth for 1 week then the 2nd week give them 1 watering then stop all water food and then leave them till th end of the week then cut and have notice my plants still go yellow from no nutes and i get about 3 extra oz from my 5 plants so there is a differance but the best thing to do would be for you to find the way you wish to grow
yes that works with a standard plant but as its an auto flowering you cant give and exsact date on when it will start to flower so most people use hps from day 1 as and with an auto you can flower on 24/0 light or 20/4 you dont nedd the 12/12
sorry for me spelling im high as hell and typing far to fast hahaha
no problem, I just didnt understand but I concentrated and got your point.
4 Plants under a 23w is not enough but I started mines of with 30w cfl so I can't say much about that. You shouldn't be feeding them in the first place if they just sprouted, on top of that you fed them 4x more than the recommended dose so you cant exactly expect them to survive and then ask what did I do wrong? (Not trying to be harsh)
Is this a subjective opinion, can you back up that statement with any facts?
erm if this is a joke then its good but dude if this isnt a joke WTF are you doing 4x? no wonder the plant died i mean fuck have you read up on growing weed?
They usually flower when the reach maturity which is usually at around 3 weeks
In our experience, it's been more like 4 or 5 weeks until gender shows
well i disagree as ive had autos just under 2 weeks that have started to show sex and have done Sweet Cheese auto and that has always started flowering as soon as its 3rd true leafs show and ive had autos that have takn 5/6weeks to show there sex its all about genetics and autos are a thing of beauty beauty shouldnt be rushed
you should make a post of mr hydes insultys and comments there awsome when stoned hahahah
