I have a ? about what others have experienced with upward growth during the flowering cycle. I was getting .75" to 1.25" per day during veg. (MH) I Just switched to flowering last week and have seen minimal growth, maybe 1" in 8 days. (HPS) Nutes at 1400PPM, air temp at 77 F +/-3 degrees, water temp 70 F and plants look great. They seem to have stopped growing taller. I used bushmasters but didn't think it would slow down the upward growth this way. All other Nutes Botanicare. Should I change resevoir and flush plants and re-start with fresh nutes w/o bushmasters. I still have plenty of room for upward growth??

It takes the plants awhile to get used to the lighting adjustment. It has been 8 days. They should start spurting in growth again by the end of the 2nd week.

What the best way to do so? Digital I would assume, download onto laptop and save file. Then cut and paste into reply?

Just regarding the original thread, Bushmasters? is that from Nulife? I have some Growth Bushmaster liquid (highly recommended by the hydro shop for soil) yet it only contains 4% N very little P K. I found it wasnt enough by itself. Man if your plants stopped growing when you started flowering maybe they have a nitrogen deficiency or something? they are meant to explode, mine are, like full on after two weeks. Try a diff bloom nute like 10 30 20 or something.

Flowering plants need very little nitrogen,if you increase your gonna get stringy buds with alot of leaves.Also you want your plant to use up all of the N in flowering to get it where it doesnt taste bad when you cure it.IMO nitrogen is a big factor,whether your plants taste good.But in saying that, its from experience not what ive heard.
