Generally you dont water first, that would be how noobies end holding the remains of their root mass because it collapsed in their hands unexpectedly. Dry is far better. They roots will all stay together and theres less weight strain on the mass as its being worked out of the pot and being...
Mine were 15-19" and I am on week 3. The only ones that are stretching are the blue dreams. The other 5 have not stretched at all but are budding from all over. I wont get anywhere near 4ft. I am also running twin 1000w hps lights.
Only thing is you might have to adjust the height of the new light. Since its stronger the heat output will be higher and if it's at the wrong height you will burn your plants.
I am using FloraNova bloom. Its just the lighting in the pics. They are good. Have not had a single problem. Plants are on average 12-15" tall, and 26-30" wide. And no I did not use veg nutes into flower.
My plan is just to add molasses along with my FloraNova and home made cal/phos. I like cheap and effective lol. I did see the Rock resin price and choked a little lol. That seems step. You are the second person to recommend big bud though.
Looking to get some opinions on a finisher product to use. (week 3 half way done) I have been recommended Rock Resinator and Big Bud. Any one have other opinions/experiences/recommendations? Thanks in advance. Few pics of my gals below.
Have you looked at all of photos of female pre flower pistils? They are kinda obvious once you see them. I have a great photo I took that shows them well, but photobuckets down so I cant load it at the moment.
