I don't know for sure if the foliar will work, but it's worth a shot. But if you're doing a foliar spray I would go with 1/2 tsp epsom salts per gallon.

Oh yeah, make sure you do it no sooner than 30 minutes before lights out.

Yah suppossedly a foliar will help to remedy the deficiency fastest, it will provide more mag immediately for faster absorbtion, but less of it.
I will water with it also afterwards.
I'd rep you again, but I can't yet. Thanks for the advice tho.

I was thinking 30 minutes before lights on.

Negative, ghostrider, the pattern is full!
If you do a foliar spray before lights on you run the risk of having thousands of water droplets on your plants acting as magnifying glasses.
In other words... you think you have spots on your leaves now?

I thought it was ok as long as your lights were fresh on. As in not to hot yet.
It takes my cab about 30 minutes to heat up to 78ish.
Woldn't that hour beforehand be enough for most of the water to absorb and evap?
I've read alot of people spray right at lights on, or lights off.
Is it really only safe to spray at lights off?

Little problem.
It's 6pm and I just went to check my plants - 2 hours before lights on, and somehow I forgot to turn off my MH.
So the temps in there were 86 (everything else was off) and the plants. So they were on for 22 hours.
Now I just switched them off, and I guess I'll leave them off for 12 more hours. But my problem is I don't want to switch my light schedule. They need to be on at night and off during the day.
How should I handle this? Should I just turn my lights on in 2 hours like normal? Or get the schedule back on tomorrow?
Really need advice here asap. Thanks.

Yes correct.
Sometimes longer periods of darkness is used to slow down stretching plants. Can only be a good thing especially with Thai weed.

lol must do
dont worry tronica im sure all your shit will be fine... your only real worry is doing it for to long or to many days strait may stress it to produce a few male flowers. more than likely it will just revert back to veg
being one day only i think you should be fine and dont have to worry about either..
think positive lol.

thanks guys
I figured they'll be fine. I know people make mistakes like this all the time and freak out, but generally, just put things back on track and they'll go on without a hitch.
I was just using the knowledge base of great guys like ya'll co confirm my decision. More darkness is better than to much in the flowering phase. And it means I get to sleep in total darkness tonight!
Been a fucking minute since I've had that luxury. Lol.

Hey Tronica, just got caught up with your grow, I'm very impressed, tons of diversity 
. I use a 60/40 water/chlorine solution to clean my grow space between crops. Kills most bacteria and makes the room shine. You'll see a decrease in the mite if you prepare the room Adaquately mate. I got my eyes on that Strawberry Cough, trying to get a better perspective on traits of the gene, doing some investigation before getting first-hand experience with it. How's the SC gone for you in particular? Good luck with the rest of the grow mate, I'll be checking in

Thanks for the tips. I definately plan to do a full clean-up of the room after this crop.
I have some more shitty news to share.
I came home from my 3 days trip to find the plants in decent shape. Thirsty and a little to close to my lamps, but not bad. The buds look great.
But I also found aphids. Hundreds of them. They were all over the place, even on the board the pots are sittig on. Piles of them. One of my plants soil looked "alive" with gnats and aphids.
No mites tho. I was kind of grossed out by just how many aphids there were. They even fell off the board and were stuck to the tape on my bottol of neem oil.
So I took every plant out and sprayed down the room with gardensafe Fungicide3. I then sprayed every plant down as well. I was going to do this anwyays as a part of my program for killing the mites.
So now I have 3 pests in my garden.
Fungus Gnats, Aphids, and mites (tho they are gone for now)
I'm going to the hydro store today. No more fucking around.
