Beautiful. What nutes are you using? When do you plan to change to Flower, 12/12 light/dark schedule?

[Jr83]

Went to 12 12 about 5 weeks ago these pocs are week 4 pics I'll take new ones tonight using botanicare nutes

[Euroaznscotty]

Your plants look unruly lol. How far is your light from the tops? Bud looks a little underdeveloped. Are you using a Pk booster?

looking healthy though!

[Jr83]

These are week 4 pics I'm take week 5 pics but that's 5 weeks since i flipped the switch 3rd week since first pistils showed up lights where 24 in lowred them to 20in about 4 days ago didn't wanna risk light burn

[Jr83]

I did loe stress train all 5 plants Incas your wonderimg

[Jr83]

What's a pk booster i have dry kool bloom but I'm using the liquid kool bloom botanicare nutes and molasses weekly

[Jr83]

I'll take new pics tonight I've been discombobulated last couple days was on night shift for 2 years finally just got back on days so I'm behind a few days with pics they've grown since these a bit but i have worried that my buds could be underdeveloped Idk that is y i finally decided to join GWE I've only gotten this far because of this site

[Euroaznscotty]

I would use your powder kool bloom. Just remember to dilute into hot water. The liquid is only a 0.10.10 where the powder is significantly higher at 0.48.35... I believe. Either way they will love it.

i would also lower your lights. If you are like me, you check on your plants a few times a day. If that's the case you can drop your lights a bit. You will notice any light damage before it does any real damage.

[Jr83]

Lmfao i do i really do check them alot my wife says I'm crazy i wasn't gonna say nothing but I'm glad u did ok but the dry kool bloom won't stress them too much? Also i may drop my lights to 18 in I've been playing it safe

[Jr83]

Ill take some current picd when i get home tonight those where at least 5 days old

[Jr83]

Just posted new photos i just took friggin getting frosty

[Jr83]

And do u have an opinion on the viparspectra led lights I've got 2 300 watt lights i may add my 4 cfl lights that's another 132 watts or better i mean I've used these vipars since germination they seem top do great but I've read the yield can be a bit less as they don't have as much red as the mars hydro lights Idk i might upgrade to a hid system next tax time

[Jr83]

[Jr83]

[Euroaznscotty]

Yeah, using your dry kool bloom will add much weight

[Jr83]

U think ? I'm just worried it could hurt them.how underdeveloped are my buds do think tomorrow will be the first day of week 5

[Jr83]

You'll have to forgive my questions this is my first grow i just read u gotta use dry kool bloom at a certain time so I'm curious as too if i could have used it sooner

[Weed Pharma]

What size containers are they in?

I haven't used "Dry" Kool Bloom- but I understand you only use it to ripen at the very end of the grow.

They look great and just starting the 5th week- gives it more time to grow, a little and plenty of time to fatten up!

[Jr83]

They're in 1 gal Halloween containers i don't have the soil or money for bigger ones right now but i figured for my first grow these will work I'm gonna get 4 gal pots for next grow and a bigger hid light maybe . I'm hoping for 1oz per plant minimum but my main focus is quality not quantity.

[Jr83]

Should i count the first 2 weeks of 12 12 or no? I've seen differing opinions on when to start counting so guessing maybe 3 to 5 weeks left

[Weed Pharma]

It really doesn't matter what you count- some seed companies count from the flip and others from when you actually see flowering.

Your plants will tell you when to harvest and it won't be either of the above options the seed company uses, to advertise.
You are closer to 5 weeks+ from what I see in the pics.

[Jr83]

Yeah today was the first day of week5

[Euroaznscotty]

Don't worry. You can use the kool bloom now. Start on half strength

[Jr83]

Thank u i am gonna start on my next feeding with it I'll go half strength

[Jr83]

No more nitrogen at this point correct?

[Jr83]

I'm using 2 300 watt viparspectra led they're currently at 20 in above the canopy should i go to 18 orv let then grow into that distance themselves
