i currently have no hydro shops around me and perfered to shop in person so i bought everything while i went on vacation and brought it back i have only had one grow and it was a 5gallon net pot dwc grow with some very generic nutrients for my first grow and i had very little problems with my first grow other than i used all cfl bulbs and it took a little time but got roughly 40 grams out of my plant but this time now that i have 1 successful grow and understand more i have built my 50 gallon fishtank into a dwc that will basically hold 20-25 gallons of water and the tank is 4ft long 16''x18'' or so i have 4 air stone tubing and a 4 port air pump, clay pellets and 4'' cubes...i have upgraded my lights and have a 300 w led and a 180 w led put my old cfl 200-300w bulb...my grow tent is something i built and am going to be 21/2ftx5 ftx 4ft then i can add 3 ft to it if i want but how many plants can i grow and i also bought RX Greensolution part A&B grow and part A&B bloom some liquid seaweed and some flora bud concentrate anyways what is the mixture for this has anyone had any problems should i do a scrog grow this time i also ordered amnesia haze i havent yet started my grow but am going to start within the month just want to do plenty of research before i start. I also own a digital tds meter but have never used it?? and a digital ph meter that i do use...dont really want to spend any money on a RO water system can i buy 5 gallon jugs of water at a fish store? and just PH it??? Do i use both part A&B at same time? is there anything i need to think of or do before also temp has always stayed at 72-75 and at 40% humiditiy i never had a issue there? last time i ran it a few problems but were caught very eary and fixed only problems i had was i needed to add hydrogen peroxide and epson salt last time but it was never more than a few leaves that drooped or got light spotting but it only lasted a few days

Hi and welcome.

Are you asking if can you take your plants out of flower (12/12) and put them back into veg (18/6) to stretch it out a bit, and then put them back in to flower to continue growing buds?

Or, do you mean that you put them in to a 12/12 light cycle, from seed/clone, and now you want to switch to a 18/6 light cycle?

Hey newcomers, rollitup is the best cannibus forum I've signed up to. Keep smoking and get growing!


I've had to add some support to stop my girls spilling out of their clothes, in an unladylike manner, when I unzip them :p

yes take them from 12/12 to 12/18 to stretch a bit or will it cause to much stress as iv noticed wee white pistle's starting also iv not fed her anything up to now ,would i start with flores a/b as i use the canna range just a bit confused as i didnt use aqua vega to start like i did my first grow thanks for replying

:hump: yes i think ill just keep them 12/12 and see what they do ,was my own fault as i was at the end of my last grow and just added them as they were on 12/12 but now worried as iv not fed them with nothing even thou they look healthy with little white pistles popping up all over which i didnt expect so quick as there only about 3 weeks old a little more ,was ment to go buy aqua vega as ran out ,but now there starting to flower is it best to start using aqua flores a&b cannazime and pk13/14 once a wee bit bigger i think , im doing DWC in buckets with air stones be grateful for any advice thanks ,hope iv explained it okay .:confused::confused:

PLEASE HELP! The small plant in the first pic is actually a month older than the plants in the second pic & it is now 3 months old with no signs of wanting to produce buds. The other plants have all produced & I will be harvesting them in about 12 days, but this other plant just wants to produce 7 & 9 finger leaves everywhere... Is it possible that Nirvana might have accidentally sent me a non-auto of some kind by mistake??

Heya Scottish,
I think your new plan is better. As you said - don't go messing with the light cycle now - you would likely just cause more stress. Add your basic flower/bloom a+b nutrients and a little something extra to help the buds and ride it out :)

Regarding switching a plant back in to veg. It can be done, of course, but not in the simple way you want, to achieve a brief boost in veg growth then just flip back and continue flowering.

You should ask it directly at Nirvana, but plant looks happy.

Hey hi Scottishchic :)
I've just been reading around re cloning myself as I'm getting ready to make some of my own, and apparently you can take cuttings anytime, just with the ones taken from plants in flower you should remove the buds and they may grow weirdly in the beginning. Just my 2c ;)

Hi everyone,
I just recently started my first grow and I am going to be posting up some questions. I'm going for Critical Skunk from Mr. Nice in root riot cubes then Plant Magic Soil Supreme. Stand by for questions!

My gut feeling says you may not have to remove them if they're just preflowers :)
But I'd say post a pic and pertinent info (what light schedule are they on for example) to the Newbie Central or General Marijuana growing forum and get an opinion from people with practical experience in cloning ;)
