Week 1

I just switched the lights to 12/12 last Tuesday. Would last Tuesday be week 1 or tomorrow? For following a feed schedule

I wait until I see flower action before I start giving flower nutes but if you flipped it won't hurt anything either way......you'll learn that a feeding schedule is just a rough idea and eventually you won't need them anymore .......keep a detailed journal on everything you do on your grow including different strains .......I've kept a detailed journal for many years and the wife knows if the house catches fire I'm saving the journal first then a few other things then her ......GL

Lol okay thanks. This is basically my first grow and I'm following the schedule recommend by the manufacturer so I was wondering what they would consider week 1 day or day 7

Good grief !

I never count days for a finish - useless! They always go longer!

Now as for feeding! VEG nutrients for the first 2 weeks! Then 50/50 veg-bloom for a week - THEN go 100% bloom!

It'll save you the yellowing leaves heartache! Better yields too... Counts from the "flip" of lighting time..

The bold part is so true flowering times hardly ever go like the seeds say. The only way you have a good ideal on when to harvest is if your running clones of plants you have flowered in the past, and let's be honest even then there's flux there.

I understandthe finish part, you judge by the trichomes or at least that's my understanding? I am still learning the feeding /watering schedule you know, when, what and how much. I am pretty happy with how it's going though.

Thanks to everyone help it's nice to have this resource and people who care to help thanks again!

As a newbie myself I can tell you that if I followed the manufacturer's instructions (FoxFarm, not sure what you're using) my plants would be dead. I know this because I applied about 1/4 of what they said and nearly fried 2 of them. In my case they were autos in ocean forest. That plus those feed charts are like GPS. They can get you where you want to go but you don't learn shit along the way and you're f'd if suddenly things go sideways.

Don't overthink it bro and forget the bank's listed timeframes. I've got two white widows in flower right now that are just now starting to show amber trichs and this is 10 days beyond the bank's max timeframe value. Then I've got two candy kush that are showing amber a week before the banks shortest timeframe value : o )
