Am I ready to switch to 12/12?
this is my first grow and thanks to Nebula and her phenomenal website, it is going like gangbusters.
I am 42 days from germ on the white widow on the right and 38 for the alien rock candy on the left (lost 2 seeds to wet feet in germ, but learned a lesson). My original plan was to wait till 60 days, but a friend who grows told me they are getting to big to wait. Since I don’t have experience, I don’t want to f it up.
I ordered my seeds from seedsman (thanks nebula!) and I used some of the free seeds they sent for my first grow. I have a Mars hydro TSW 2000 and a 3x3x6 grow tent. I am top fed DWC and using gen hydroponic trio with cal mag, bio guard and tap water. Def needed the cal mag, I cut back to 2.5 ml/gallon and got mag def. went back to 5ml/gal and not a hint of a problem since. I am doing everything that nebula recommended, except I may have gotten a little plucky on the Alien Rock Candy, but it doesn’t seem to mind. I FIMd them both, but missed on the ARC and had to hit it again. The widow is growing like a dream. I am trying to split my tent with them on the screen.
I know I should only grow one at a time, but the main reason I am growing (other than obviously wanting endless green) is for variety. I have a Mars hydro TS 1000 (realized it wouldn’t work for flower) and I am thinking of making a separate tent for clones/veg and doing them in individual 5 gallon buckets. Then I can use my big light for a 4 plant flower tent with each plant getting a quarter of the tent (2.25 sq ft.).
I plumbed and wired a setup in my crawl space, even got a sump pump for water changes that pumps it to the outside hose bib and can change my water in 20 minutes. I have the sump pump in a tote line with egg crate foam, so you can barely hear it next to it. It’s super ninja and I think nebula would be proud, but that’s for a different post.
essentially, my question is, should I run them through the screen before flower or switch soon and run them through the screen in flower?
