Flowering

Hi all,

I have read up on this and i am no where near the flowering stage BUT i wanted to clear it up so i can just get on with it. To start flowering do i stick it in 48hrs of dark before switching to 12/12? Also what nute ratio is best for flowering?

Kindest regards and cheers in advance

No do not do that. Just set the timer to 12/12 the day you decide to do it. Use Grow nutes the first few weeks of flowering. Only go to Bloom nutes after 3 weeks or so. Make sure you have your "trace" minerals available - calcium, magnesium, copper etc. Cal Mag is suggested.

Cheers Hotrodharley.

I think if you force the flowering stage too soon it could dramatically effect the yield of the plant, but if that is not a concern for you we put ours in flowering by just switching to 12/12 and added phosphorus + to the nuts mix. I was reading somewhere that the plants should go into a 48 hour darkness right before harvesting. I guess it intensifies the resigns if I am understanding correctly. Best of luck!!

Thank you all for your help and advice. I actually read that it can be done from seed but didnt know if they were telling pork pies LOL. Thanks for the luck cjewelzc as i think im gonna need it was a bad idea using soil :'( LOL. Will update in her when i flower to show you the progress . The 48 hr thing before switching i have also read that somewhere BUT i think it depends on what setup and lights you are using. Nt too sure on that so cant really say.

In my opinion soil; not a mistake. Soil is much easier to control than hydroponic systems (at least from what I have read and seen online). There is a little more room for error with soil. Why do you think soil is a bad I idea, if I may. WHat kind of set up are you using?
