I am gradually changing over to 12/12 flowering phase. Last night was 10 hours dark. Tonight 11 hours dark. etc.. Today I also changed two of my T5HO bulbs to the 3000k "bloom" bulbs and I will change the others tomorrow or Wednesday. Wednesday is going to be the normal reservoir water change, so I will change to the flowering nutes at that time. Everything looks pretty good for now. Plants are still short and bushy.

Today I changed out the water/nute solution on my 3 plants in flower. This is day 13 of 12/12 and little sign of flowering as of yet.
White Russian plant looks very healthy, AK47 and Northern Lights both have some leaf curling.
Pineapple Chunk is doing very well in the "veg room". No problems since the root "cure".

Lookin good. Here's a tip that works for me.

If I want more growth, I simply increase ppms to ~ >550 at same light schedule.

Apparently, the increase in PK signals the plant that it's time to flower. It takes ~ 10 days to see early pistils and clusters developing (much like your pics), THEN I begin to lower the light schedule

Thanks PF! I will have to try that next round.

My ppm is only 450-500 now. Should I up it at this point?
