i aint wise when it comes to indoor shitbut RO is reverse osmosis.like bottled water.no chlorine or other harmful products.im gonna start white widow soon so im interested in the rest.when he says youll inherit the mothers age i think he means that if you got a three month old mother and you clone the clones are gonna start off like a three month old plant.

#3: Toxic salt buildups are nutrient buildups. This happens when you water, and there is no drainage. No drainage=buildup of nutes, which can stunt growth, and "lock" your plants of nutrients. That means no nutes will get through, and they will build up, killing your plant. So when you water/feed, ame sure you have good drainage when you water.

The second #3 ;): If you are looking for short cycle plants, look for anything that is Indica dom.. They tend to have shorter flowering cycles.

#4: As for nutes, any brands pretty much, except Miracle Grow. It is not the right formula for resin producing plants, but will work half assed.

Now there are 3 diff. stages of growth for a plant: Germinating (requires no ferts), Vegetative, and Flowering. The second and third steps you need to use food so the plant can reach it's full potential and live.

For the vegetative growth, the plant needs something high in N (N-P-K). Those are the 3 numbers of the container. Some examples are 5-1-1, 8-7-6.

For flowering stage, you must use something high in P. Some examples are 10-15-10, 15-30-15, 10-51-10

That's all I can answer for you, but if you want to learn more about growing basics go to the FAQ's here, or go the FAQ's at the top of this page:

Read the basics on growing and the nutrients will seem a bit more clear. Hope this helped some, peace :cool:

Most of your questions were answered for you already.

As for proper nutrients:

General Hydroponics brand
G.H. Flora series. It's a 3 part formula including a micro, grow & bloom it is the most flexible way to feed your plants. You have total control over the NPK regiment the plant needs.

They also have a one part veg FloraNova Grow and one part flower FloraNova Bloom thatâ??s the simplest way to use nutrients but you don't have as much control.

Along with those you can use items such as CalMag Plus for those using RO water you need to put back nutrients into the water the RO process removes. Plants love this stuff.

As for a bloom enhancer you can use Awesome Blossom or Fat Flowers or one of the other many brands designed to grow this plant.

Advanced Nutrients also have great nutrients designed for growing this plant.

Dutch Master has some great products when I run out of my GH I may even switch my self.

I hope that helps some.
