Getting ready to flip [white widow/Mac stomper]

Aight… I plan on flipping in a couple weeks and I wanna make sure I cover all the bases.

  • Should I be raising my VPD gradually to get the plants used to lower RH?

  • I’ve been gradually raising my ppfd as we head into flower, aiming for 600ppfd in the center of the tent at first day of flower… is this a good starting ppfd for flowering?

  • what temp is preferable for flowering? I’m running 75-78 right now, Wasn’t sure if I should try to maintain this temp until late flower when I start bringing temps down to induce my fade and conserve terpines.

  • insecticide/fungicide… at what point should I administer these?

  • should I be feeding minuscule doses of my nutrient line in order to get the plants used to what I’ll be feeding them. (I’ll be using the Mill’s nutrient line).

  • Should I begin doing slurry tests on my soil, and PH’ing my runoff before adding any nutrients?

  • Are there any other nutrients I should be using leading up to, or during flower besides my main line? Silica, cal-mag, etc.

Anything else I might be missing?

Thank you in advance for any advice you might have!

You don’t need to lower the rh until 3-4 weeks into flower
I wouldn’t spray insecticide or fungicide unless you think there’s a problem. An insecticidal soap with spinosad is good if you must
75-78 is good
Don’t start adding flower nutrients until the second week of flower, start with a 1/2 dose or less
checking your runoff ppms and ph wouldn’t be a bad idea
You’ll probably want to get some cal mag for flowering. Unless you’ve amended the soil.
Just my 2 cents
