Had a few questions like when to flower? Just one plant. How many watts n what kind of light? And im thinking when i do flower i use big bloom? Or tiger bloom or grow big. Still kind of confused. But i believe its big bloom to use right?

switch the light cycle when the plant is about 1/3 to 1/2 of the size you want it to finish at. how many watts depends on your grow space. use HPS light to flower if you can. use tiger bloom. are you using soil or hydro?

That's exactly what I was going to say. Tiger Bloom at it's recommended dosage, from the start, is way too strong. Half strength will give you great results though.

seriously, tiger bloom is actually not that strong at all. Cannabis doesnt generally like alot of fertilizer, so half strength is often enough. you will want at least a 400w for your space.

flower whenever you are ready. its up to you and how much space you have.
depending on the strain it could double or triple in size.. it may have little no stretch. i like to LST mine even if i have plenty of room.. i really like a good even canopy and lots of tops..

if your not in a hurry top it and bush it up more..

i think its like 15-20 bucks..at your local hydro shop..

with FF nutes you have to use cal/mag with the mix...unless you are using tap water..even still you will need to add it occasionally

The first page of this thread will tell you what you need to know about topping for multiple colas. Uncle Ben knows his shit, and he's easy to follow...
