flowering question

ill be switching over to flower 2day and have a question my tent is running on 18/6 for veg light comes on at 3pm off at 9am now i want to switch it to come on at 8am off at 8pm would that be okay also should i just not shut the light off 2day and just let it run till 8pm then shut off

Just change the timer to come on when you want it too .. a few extra hours of dark ( or light ) won't bother the plants at all .. ( as long as you only do it once )

happy growin

thanks also another question i havent really fed the plant much in veg because ive been up potting i hear you should feed veg nutes the first 2 weeks of flower
i have some fish hydrolysate from neptune harvest could i use that the first 2 weeks if so how should i mix it says 1oz per gallon but im afraid that my be too strong after that ill be running floranova bloom

I feed veg nutes during the first couple of weeks of flower, then mix flower & veg 1/2 and 1/2 for the next 2 weeks, then full flower nutes for the duration.

Don't know anything about the nutes your using .. sorry couldnt be more help


happy growin

yes use Veg nuts fist few weeks of flowering, also called the stretch (actually its where the plant grow the most and therefor also need the most, atleast when we talk Nitrogen)

but if you use Floranova bloom you could just use that, some use only that from start to finish

if it was me I would just use that and maybe also use some Molasses in between the nuts

What ever it tells you to mix in only use 1/4 for the first few feedings, then 1/2 for the next few feedings then go full strength, but keep an eye out for signs of stress.

Ooh yea P.s.

if you want to changes light schedule, give it more light time if its in Veg, cut hours of light if its in flowering/12-12

and if you want to stress it as little as possible and it is`t a problem for you, do it 1/2 or a hour a day until you reach the times you want ..

cool i thought i could use the floranova bloom that is prob what ill do thanks

...like tellno1 said, adjusting your timer and giving your plants a longer than normal dose of darkness or light won't hurt your plants so long as you don't make it a habit, ...one time, or even 2 or 3 times in an 8 week cycle won't cause a problem but if it happens more frequently than that you will more than likely end up with hermies.

...also, as you are growing organically you need to adjust your thinking and realize the advice you get regarding feeding from those not growing organically will be virtually useless. ...and if you have a good organic mix with all the ingredients already blended into your soil then you shouldn't be feeding your plants anything but the occasional topdress and the occasional tea, ...pretty much everything your plants need should already be contained within your soil mix.

btw, as someone who aspires to become an organic cultivator i'd strongly recommend you study the thread linked below and others like it as well as picking yourself up a copy of Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web, Revised Edition by Jeff Lowenfels and Wayne Lewis, ...both will help give you the foundation you need in establishing your microherd.

...btw, electricity cost's more during the daylight hours because of increased demand, ...i personally run my budding chamber from 6PM to 6AM.
