Don't over water and add some perlite to your soil, assuming you are growing in soil. Also don't feed them for at least 3 weeks if they are in soil. Keep it simple, less is more... etc etc... Good Luck!
Its a plant and it will flower when its ready. Don't have to go 12/12. Just fed mine today. Its a AK Auto. Accidently broke the top off and another branch. No way was I going to throw them away (newbie think) so I put em in a make-shift cloner - one had roots. Transplanted into 2:1 Perlite - Potting soil today. Hope they grow but doubt if they will flower. The mother is front right corner. Pics below:
pH is important. It is base or acid. You've seen pictures of what acid rain does to trees. Think what acid or base does to the roots. Its like poison to the plant. I think tap water is okay if you leave it out (maybe in an open tub for the chlorine to go away. I think it take 24 hours. I buy RO water at the grocery store. Walmart sells 5 gallon jugs for $10 and RO water is $0.50 per gallon. If I was smarter I would use tap water. Good luck with the plants.
