here is neighbor's gh after the 20 day blackouts to 12/12 light. those buds are over an ounce each i'd say, some are over 12" long. this was almost a week ago... P1080312.JPG

I keep my MH conversion bulb in and keep feeding veg nutes for the first week or so. I find it helps to keep them shorter and loads them up on nitrogen for the weeks to come.
 
Well I'm glad it's not complicated!
I like the 0-7-0 guano too, and it's got a decent amount of calcium.
Hey if you use unsulfured black strap organic molasses and some epsom salt it will do wonders. as long as you check your Ph here and there. but molasses has a good bit of calcium and iron in it and the epsom salt has good amounts of magnesium and sulfur

I quit using molasses in favor of dark brown sugar. Much easier to handle and doesn't change PH at all.
 
I got another question? how do i change light cycle from (6am-6pm) to 6pm-6am) on a clone that has been flowering for just a week or so, no bud formation yet.

Hey guys, when you transition from veg to flower do you guys increase light as well? Like if your light has a dimmer, do you turn it all the way to 100%? Or do you gradually do it?

I go straight from T5's to a 600 watt HID. The HID ballast is dimmable but I go straight to the 600. You're probably referring to using LEDs but I go from 220 watts of T5 straight to 600 watts of HID without any issues.

alright, I'll go full power, I hope my plants can take it.

That's just what I do and I start with the plants farther from the light than normal and let them grow into it. Plant reaction to increased LED intensity is going to be different than T5 to HID so distance will play a part in whether your plants can take it. I don't grow with LEDs but I would probably raise the intensity gradually rather all at one and risk causing stress to the plants.

Good luck.
