Day 15 of flowering (weekly) update:
The girls are starting to form buds and the pistils are shooting out! Therefore, today I swapped the MH bulb with an HPS bulb (the last pic is of the canopy after I fired up the HPS.
I emptied out the system and filled it with RO water with GH's FloraKleen and will allow this to run for a day to 48 hours max flushing the girls and cleaning the system from all debris build up! I will then empty it out and replace it with a fresh mix of bloom nutrients with all the additives we have here and will allow the buds to take off! Here are some pics of the canopy and some bud sites and finally of the canopy after I swapped the MH with the HPS
On a side note, I know I said I was running FloraNova bloom start to finish (since its good enough, available for me here and cheap too plus many use it start to finish and it works just fine) but then I started with the grow (because well I had it and didnt want to waste it). Well a couple of days ago I found a half to 1/3 full bottles of Canna nutes bloom A and B from a previous run. Those have better NPK ratio for cannabis (i read somewhere that cannabis prefer more K than P during bloom and canna nutes certainly has that ratio compared to FloraNova Bloom). Therefore, and since I have it anyway and dont want to waste it and since also it creates less of a buildup when compared to FloraNova, I decided to use the canna nutes bloom in my topoff res til I run out
