This is my first grow, everything seems to be going fine but I'm all confused about the nutes?? I bought a few bottles of different Shultz, which ones should be used in what stages???? please clarify
Also can someone please tell me how I tell when its time to flower 12/12 under HPS light? If someone could clarify the different stages and how long it lasts?
Sorry for the questions but I'm learning day by day

the cactus ferts are the closest composite to what MJ requires...superthrive, also at wally's is Bvitamins and hormones, use sparingly 1/4 tsp per gallon

The 'easy' answer is about two months of 24/0 or 18/6 veg, followed by about two months of flower. Veg and flower lengths vary with strain, while the narrower leaf mostly-sativas generally take a longer flower stage.
Wait a good 21 days into veg before starting a weak high nitrogen fert (that's the first of the three numbers, ie 11-1-1).
Keep your PH around 6.8 and your temps around 78F.
Always add SuperThrive to your water.
Repot into a larger container just before flower stage begins. Dust the roots and the hole with Schultz Rooting Hormone.
Wait a week or so before adding nutes during flower. Then go with the Schultz Cactus Juice (1-7-6), or comparable.
After eight weeks of flowering, keep an eye on the trichs, or microscopic "balls on tees". They'll start clear, then go cloudy and then amber. The plant's ready to cut when there's a mix of cloudy and amber trichs.
Happy growing.
