    timer got screwd, what will happen?

    This is a joke right? I don't get it, if it is. But anyways....of course you need a timer. It's the most important tool for flowering other than decent lights. If you don;t have a timer...expect failure. Drink!

    flussshing

    Well I think you should have a fair idea of what strain you are growing and how long it's flowering period is. Otherwise...you can use a scope from RS for about 10 bucks and look at the trichs. When they are getting more than 50% cloudy...you don't have long to go. Once you have a grow or two...

    raising ph

    Lots of companies offer a silica additive in a liquid form. I like Dyna-gro's Pro-tek...but there are lots of others as well. It's a good thing to use especially if you grow in hydro or soiless mediums. Soil has silica in it naturally...but all the other mediums we use like promex, sunshine...

    raising ph

    I like to use silica. It's great for the plants and natural. I use it with every feeding...and if I ever screwup and add too much sulphuric acid I add a little silica to bring it back up. Drink!

    Should these be trimmed? (pix)

    I like to have all my trimming(pruning) done by day 14 of flower. Under a 400 with a plant anymore than 12"...it's good to trim out all the under brush so the plant doesn't waste food and energy on those bud sites that won't produce much more than fodder for the hash pile. Drink!

    No it's not true...especially when using epsom salts. I like the cal-mag better...as epsom seems to get toxic after awhile. Ensure you are getting a good runoff with each watering...and you should be fine. Drink!

    Superthrive

    get a bottle of cal-mag and feed it whether you have a deficiency or not. A good preventive measure that pays off in the end regardless. MJ loves the extra mg. If you can't get your hands on any cal-mag...epsom salts and or,molasses is good. Drink!

    Help With Hps

    you have it on a carpet? Get it off A.S.A.P. A ballast should be mounted up and off any flammable items. Try to get it up off the floor to avoid fire, and or water from spillage or flood issues. Safety first and foremost! Drink!

    stretch

    having longer stems between nodes is not an advantage. You want to have close nodes...so the cola can grow together instead of single buds. It's always best to keep your light as close as possible while maintaining heat issues and light spread. Drink!

    Superthrive

    I have used it on different occasions with different strengths and all I can say is...put the bottle away unless you have a sick plant. The stuff can really screw with your plant. I have seen it screw up one strain while not bothering another when fed at the same time and same strength. never...

    Flush at the first signs of amber hairs

    If it's indica dominant..then you have about 2 weeks to go. This is the period the plant likes to put on the beef. Alot of folks like to flush at this point. Ya know...take the food source away just when the plant wants it to get some girth. I would recommend you lower the food strength for...

    Question About Yields

    16 plants under a 600 or 1000 is not a SOG. More like 36 plants would be a SOG. The nice thing about using a 600 or 1000 as opposed to a 400 or less is the penetration they will provide below the canopy. Which in turn results in a bigger yield from the same size plant grown under a 400 or...

    turning lights back ?

    I can't verify putting a plant in darkness for 48hrs will hurt the plant or show sex, as I've never done it. I always just go from veg to flower at once. If you vegged long enough...preflowers should already be showing. Drink!

    bubbling?

    Yes...if you're using organic nutes...some brands require bubbling for 24 hrs to get the ph to come back up and stabilize. I wouldn't add any ph up until you allow them to bubble for 24 hrs...then check the ph and adjust accordingly. Drink!

    14 clones-yellow/crispy leaves

    I didn't realize they were already rooted. I thought they were fresh cuts. So forget about the dome. I don't think it's too serious considering they have roots already. It doesn't look like nute burn, as it seesm to only be affecting the lower portions of the plants. Are you letting the...

    bubbling?

    Why do you want to do this? Are you using organic nutes? Some nutes should not be bubbled. You may also find big ph rises from bubbling as well. Drink!

    turning lights back ?

    Just knock it back to 12/12 when you're ready. Some people like to put the plants in darkness for 24 hours first just to kick start the flowering. Drink!
