Vegetative to flowering ???

[trombon84]

this is the first week of flowering....kinda.....for about 4 days I was just cutting from lights.
From 16 hours, I cut everyday one hour and since February 15 the plants are on 12/12.....well, they were on 11 h and 30 min for two days, and yesterday I put them on 12/12 ... I hope everything will be alright ...

Should I be able to see some white hairs (or some balls) in the first week of flowering ??? coz now...the nods (intersection) are very "clean" .... no hairs, no balls ...

Do u know what I should I use instead of CO2 tank????

 

[gotkush?]

you dont need none of that stuff with your set up, your plants are already getting plenty of it.

as long as you have good ventilation and good fresh air coming in you will be fine without additional co2.

I have another concern. Its about the PH.
Few of my leaves have some small yellow dots and I think that's because of the PH. So, obviously, I grow in a hydroponic system. Before mixing the nutrients I check the water PH and I raise it, or down it till its around 6.6 - 6.8. The problem is that after I mix the nutrients, the PH is going acidic really bad. I mean is going around 6.0.
My question is if this is how is suppose to be, or I have to reestablish the PH (around 6.6-6. again after I mix the nutrients????

sorry im not up on the hydro yet. you may have to ph the water after you add the nutes. lets bump this back to the top .

Add all of your nutrients prior to adjusting the PH and you will be straight.

what spectrum of light are the tubes in?if its a mix of warm and cool light tubes then you should be ok, but id invest in an hps light for your next grow.

I am thinkin to buy a HPS for my next grow. I just didnt have the money for one now. I have 3 fluorescent tubes (6500k) + 2 CFL (6500k) + 20 CFL (soft light).
But I still dont know if I should adjust the ph AFTER i mixed the nutrients.
