I'm currently about 1 week away from switching my plants to a flowering schedule, and am debating whether or not I need to flush them before starting the flowering nutes. I have not used any nutes at all during veg, mainly because my soil had a good mix and I'm only keeping them in veg for 6...

No, growth hasn't stopped at all. I just noticed the tips today though... hopefully it doesn't get worse.

Here are pics of 2 different plants. Mix is: N - 100-250 mg/liter P2O5 - 100-250 mg/liter K2O - 100-250 mg/liter

I just started my 2nd grow 2 weeks ago (indoor, in soil), and am noticing a problem. I have 6 plants, and all but 1 of them have brown tips on the leafs. I'm using water with a pH of 6.8 run through a Brita filter (pH measured after filtration), and soil with a range of 5.5-7 pH. Lights are...

Thanks Banditt. I should have specified, but I was hoping to find something a bit cheaper.... is there anything reliable under $50?

Does anyone have a recommendation for an easy to use digital pH meter I can get online? I'll use it to measure the pH of runoff from soil, as well as to test the water I use before I feed. Thanks much!

Alright thanks. Just to make sure I'm not crazy though... take a look at these. Is there any amber at all? Hard to get the camera to keep focus....

Yeah that was my take too. I realize there's variation in strains as far as how long it takes a cloudy crystal to turn amber... but does anyone have experience with an estimated range? Am I looking at something like 3 more weeks, or is it possible that it would be less? Thanks in advance.

Thanks - I'm trying to find the harvest sweet spot I've read about!

I'm coming towards the end of flowering (I hope!) of my first grow. I wanted to get some opinions on how the crystals look, and how many days/weeks away from 25-50% amber I am. Any ideas?

Thanks - BTW, I'm going for at least 25% Amber, but no more than half. You think it'll take 3 weeks to get that far?

1st grow... these are 3 shots from the same bud. Any thoughts on how close to ready she is?

Okay... however when I zoom in on the trichs, they are about half clear and half cloudy. I'm thinking I should wait until more are cloudy, and some are amber. Any idea on how many days/weeks that could take? I'm headed out of town for 2 weeks. Will that be too long you think?

This is my first grow, and I'm not sure if it's close to ready or not. The plant is a sativa, from bag seed. She's been in flowering for about 10-11 weeks. Any thoughts on how much longer to let her stay before harvest?

Lights are CFL's, warm white, they're not close enough to burn at all. I'm pretty sure now that the pH of my water is too low, so I'm going to use distilled water going forward. When I mix in the nute mix I mentioned I'm going to start using (15/30/15 NPK), I'm going to add a bit of baking...

Last weekend I posted about a problem, which seemed like was caused by nute burn. On Monday, I flushed my plant with water 3X the size of the container. Until yesterday/today, everything seemed fine (no new problems with any leaves). The new problem is in the pics in this post, and is on...

Thanks again for all the help. My lights go off for 12 in about 3 hours, so I'm going to hold off until tomorrow when they come on. Any recommendation on whether to use more nutes at all at some point after the flush? If so, how long would you wait?

Sorry for sounding stupid.... but, in the pot right? Just let the water drain through the holes in the bottom? And this won't drown her?

Thanks again Riddleme. So just to make sure I got it right - I don't use 9 gallons all at once right? That would drown the plant, no? I gave it about a 1/4 gallon 3 days ago with no nutes, just brita water. If you can clarify how I should administer these 9 gallons (all at once, or spread...

Riddleme - I flushed with just regular Brita water. I don't know what the pH was. I did a search on here regarding how to flush, but I can't seem to find the right answer. Is distilled water the right to use when flushing? The pot is about 2.5-3 gallons.
