Hello all, Ok i have just changed my lighting over to 12/12 and wanted to know if i should change my nutrient mix now or give them a few days more on the veg mix to help with the growing spurt thats about to come?
I am using a passive 2 pot system this grow with a single 250 watt hps and the 2 sets of T5 strips i germinate with now stood up either side of them for a little extra light of different spectrum.

Also what strength do i make up my flowering nutrient mix? with the grow you start a lot weaker till your plants grow a bit but for flowering do i mix to manafacturers recomendation now?
using the hesi grow and bloom that came with this kit along with super vit.

Much appreciated for any help. this place is great.

Spot on thanks for that. couldn't find info anywhere and thought it might be important

well you may have got some fan yellowing , thing is could take 2 or 3 weeks to start flowering, then it could be more of a prob. indoor growing, check out my 10 day old bubblebomb if you get time, good luck.

do i keep using the veg nutrients till they start to bloom

Welcome to RIU

I use grow nutes for about the 1st week of flowering then i switch to my bloom nutes at approx 1/2 strength. No more grow nutes from that point on.

Each nutrient line is different. Some say to switch to bloom nutes at the start of 12/12. Some say to switch when flowers start to form, which is usually Day 15-25. Some others say to use half veg nutes and half bloom nutes for the first week of flowering. From my experience, it seems that the more organic sources, like Pure Blend Pro and FloraNova, require the veg nutes to be used farther into flowering.

If you are using bloom nutes, and start to see an overall fading of green in the foliage, you can use some veg nutes to give a Nitrogen boost.

I think the reason some manufacturers recommend you keep using veg nutes during the initial stages of bloom is to cut down a bit on the stretching that occurs in the first week or so; setting the plant up with plenty of green foliage for the late stages of the bloom phase.

Check out my new grow! http://www.rollitup.org/grow-journal...ing-again.html

Nutrients i'm using came with this kit, they are as follows:
Hesi Hydro Growth 30+14+25
Hesi Hydro Bloom 23+24+29
Hesi PK 13/14
Hesi Root complex
hesi Super Vit

well i'm going to go along the middle road i think. They are due a complete water overhaul at the weekend and that will be 6 days under 12/12 i'm going give them a quick flush and switch to 3/4 bloom and 1/4 veg and see how things go. on the water change after that i will go for full bloom nuts.

The Hesi PK is for a few weeks into flowering in slowly increasing doses.

Anyone used this stuff before and coments on it.

These are the 2 plants i'm growing for my own use this time. next time i'm growing 2 of the same type as this grow has been a pain with 2 different size plants.
