ok i'm 3 weeks into my grow just had my plants last week on 1/4 strengh nutes when do i start inceasing strength ?
 
on what medium do you grow, rockwool, soil or cocoo??? on soil you don't nute till week 4-5 normally since you will burn the plant then too easily. and for hydro you too strong too in week 3 i would say...

so what are you up to?
 
week for 4 or 5 ? i'm gorwing on soil using bloom nutes surely my plant will be ready for putting into flowering in wk 5 ish ?
 
if you not going for SOG type growing: NOT WAY!

most indica and indica dominated strains take about 7 to 9 weeks to mature, so lets say 8 weeks till you can start to think about putting it under 12/12;) on great sign that it is ready is that the notches of the plant start to interchange in level. i would never flower a premature plant, it isn't worth the effort really.
 
many thanks i have allready started nutin plants seem to be ok should i stop ? so when do i increase nutes then? say if like u said i should strart at week 4/5
 
you need to switch nutes. bloom ferts in veg produces more males.

miracle gro 24-8-16 works great for veg. use according to label.

also, the plant will reach maturity between weeks 4-12, usually closer to six. you can force flower before that point in time.

if flowering with cfl's, i recomend you flower at less than eight nodes, so as to light them better, cfl's don't have good penetration. flowering at week 5 is no prob, but, if the plants are not mature, they won't flower right away.

my mistake im using grow nutes will put some pics up soon also what are nodes ? using a 250w metal halide at the mo
 
nodes are the locations where the leaves leaf the stem;) go wiki and look it up bro:D

250W MH isn't bad, distance in such a manner that you place your hand on top of the plants tip, if you can take the heat for several minutes without pain the distance is perfect;) (don't sue me if you burn yourself ;P)
