I think they look great as well, keep it up. As long as they stay looking healthy, they will do their thing with time I'm sure. Out of curiosity, what kind of lights are you using?

They don’t look bad to me neither. Have you ph’d the rain water? As pure and clean as it may be, it doesn’t contain any calcium and magnesium. So supplementing some Calmag into your water before feeding would be beneficial. I wouldn’t say you’re doing anything wrong.

Just remember they will do what they will do. They look happy so don’t try to change too much just yet. Sounds like you’ve done all the work already to prep your soil with groceries so just sit back and watch.

 

[Leeski]

From your soil mix I would say no need to ph or add cal mag perhaps Bit of Epsom in veg as a foliar spray no need to fix something that ain’t broke

 

[Leeski]

If you wanna give them I boost make a mung bean tea they will love it

I just looked back. Your growing photos. Your two weeks from flip to 12/12? If that’s true the transition to flower for photos takes 1-2 weeks. So looking at your plants I would say week 1 of actual flower. And I think your comparing your photos to autos. Plants look great. That’s the tell tale over how fast they are progressing.

No ph’ing the water? That’s a new one for me.

 

[KootenayDIY]

Do a soil test if your worried but I think you have enough food from your description for the next month

I don’t ph organic soil grow. No need to.soil buffers it naturally

 

[Leeski]

Why add crap to rain water soil will sort the ph unless it’s crazy Rain most rain water is around 5.5 unless you live on mars

 

[Dontjudgeme]

Here in California my rain water is 8, I just tested it to make sure I wasn’t giving him false information. I grow organically as well and ph’ing my water with Calmag is a must. I however don’t use rain water. But hey, like you said, if it ain’t broke don’t go trying to fix it.

Just starting week 2 at 12/12 myself, i have hardly anything yet.. Just some little poofs starting to grow


Far as I can tell we just need some patience

 

[jarrodg420smoke]

I'm just at 2 weeks from when I switched to 12/12 also and yours seem to be a little further along then mine... so question to you guys that are saying you don't tech count the first week after switching to 12/12 the first week of flower till the beginning of the 2nd week?? just wanna idea so know what schedule to follow on my nutrients. I didn't start my flowering nutrients until the beginning of the 2nd week after the switch luckily anyway tho..

 

[Tonycannavis]

My water is usually Between 5.8 -6.3 i turn 12/12 on March 16 I been trying home made cal mag because I see some deficiency and I think that’s what I’m missing im getting the lime green color on the top leafs

 

[Dontjudgeme]

I would aim more for 6.5.

 

[Bignutes]

Check your soil ph and that will give you a better idea as to what ph your water should be

While I do understand the reason for counting flowering as the 2nd week after you flip, because technically the plant is phasing out of veg and entering the bloom phase from the increase dark hours, I however don’t. To me, it doesn’t really matter because trichome production is my way of identifying how far along I am, not the amount of time I’ve been on 12/12.

thanks I think I will be following this way as well it makes more sense to me how you explain it
