the cuttings should be under 18/6 or 24/0 - but they don;t need nearly the intensity that normal plants do... a CFL or 2 even like 10" away should be fine

Ok so, I should put them under 18/6 or 24/0 to induce veg again? Thats what Im getting. Also that if I leave them in 12/12 it will only take longer for the roots to take, which is why, even tho I cut them 3 weeks into flower I need to put them back on 18/6 to get them to root and then I would switch them back over to 12/12.
Im curious still for my next grow.
Im going to get feminized seeds and germinate 1. and correct me if Im wrong as Im unsure of what Im doing, BUT, ill lst it and grow it for a few weeks to get lots of nodes? arms? then I will take cuttings? and then grow those female cuttings bigger still running them on veg lighting, and continue into flower. That is what a mother plant is, a plant that you grow and take cuttings from and get more plants that will be female???
I hope Im correct.
Anyways. Buds are getting nice and fat. Lots of tricomes forming. I do have a question as well about the leaves, they are curling down and inwards. I think it might have to do with PH, but the pot im using is really hard to get a runoff ph plus the plant is huge haha. Any clues?/
Well Im just starting week 5. 4 Weeks to go. There are a couple of things that I need some advice on. I have not flushed my girl yet. Ever. And Im thinking I need to. What is the best way to do this? Ive herd that I should "flush" with the correct pH'd water and its easiest in the tub, any suggestions. My girl is about 35-36 inches in height now, so its gonna be a bit hard to move her around. My next thing is the pot im using. Its big, but not as big as I think I could go. Would it be advised to do a super careful transplant this far along?
Im also concerned somewhat about the sugar leaves growing around the buds. The sides of each leaf peddel is starting to curl inwards.

The next issue is Im finding quite a few of these really small, really mini small winged flys. They arnt flys, but they fly around. They arent eatting anything, and I cant see that they are causing any damage, but they are anoying and I want them out damit. Ill take a pic in the morning of the bugs, as for now here are some pics of where shes at now.

Yes, flush with Ph corrected water, but wait for the soil to dry out reallllly well before you do and flush with 2X's the amount of water to your container.
You could always just bring some type of tray that can hold a far amount of water into the room and just put them in there, water, drain...etc.
No Transplants during flower what-so-ever! :D
The "flies" are probably gnats which don't do nothing, but bug the shit outta ya and stick to your buds! Just go at them with hand-to-hand combat!
dude nice ass plant
So when flushing, Im yet to get a straight answer about this but, flushing is when you over water and let the excess water just run off. It helps to filter out the plant and correct ph by using correctly phd water. Yes???? And its advised to do between once a week and once a month and 2 weeks before you stop using nutes right???Quote:

I wouldn't really use the word over water because that is what you do when you give your plants too much water over time (soil staying wet).
I flush 3 weeks prior to harvest. Two weeks of flushing then the last week for the "pre-drying" time(which means don't water the last week before harvest). Basically it aids in helping the plant dry a bit faster and break down the chlorophyll better.
Nice grow log Man!! Your girl looks Good,, Enjoy :rastasmoke:
Wow, looking nice! It's a little late but congrats on your new marriage!!! The flies are probably just fungus gnats. The larvae take a little bite out of your roots but they don't do much damage except maybe on the youngest seedlings. They are annoying and they get stuck to the buds that's no fun. :) I don't know a way to get rid of them which is less harmful than the flies themselves. I know for sure I don't want pesticide in my bud.

Any I dont really have a bug problem, yet, theres only been like 5-7 at any time that Iv been able to see and kill. they spend no time eating leaves are are found nowhere in the buds, they actually chill in the dirt, which makes sence b.c thats where gnats come from, but they look more pungent, like chubby lol, not as big of wings, gnats look kinda like mosquittoes, Ill take a pic later on and do some googleing.
Thanks all:thumbsup:
