Hey bro...I have tried decreasing times like this and someone might've read one of my posts and misconstrued it to you!:smokin: What I sais, was to change the photoperiod one hour every 2 weeks..i.e.
start veg*...16/8 for 2weeks, 15/9 until 4 weeks old, 14/10 until 6 weeks old, 13/11 until 2 months old...time to flower at 12/12
*veg. does not start when sprout pokes up. days 1 of veg count starts when plant has 4-5 alternating nodes/true sets of leaves.

now with clones...you actually veg* for only 2 weeks (again*) so the formula you posted, worked out vegging 2 weeks, then you changed photoperiod to 12/12.

I am sure many will benefit from this thread...peace:smokin:

Cool thanks. listen... a couple more things popped into my head when I read this again...
1st, when I mentioned the start of veg...for me; when I transfer from little starter pot to veg pot at least one gallon, but this time I put a seedling right into a 3 gallon..so no transplant is needed and, I must say that despite teachings to the contrary...She's looking good. The proofs in the pudding. Will have to see how she finishes.

I hope you don't go toxic with that 10-54-10. go ahead and read up on flushing...just in case. Don't freak! I am just letting you in on the next potential problen and what would be the 1st aid.

To flush a potted plant: Run correctly ph'd water through pot until at least 3-4 times the pot capacity has been flushed. i.e. if using 2 gallon pot...flush until you have gone through 6 gallons of water...In some instances of severe toxic shock, repot in quality fresh sterile or organic soil and water only...

Now you will be ready if you have a problem in the future.:smokin:

you know what. i started mine in the pot it is in now, i am going from seed to bud in the same pot under 4 42 watt cfl's. here are some pics. she is doing great. who ever said that you have to start in a small pot and transplant to a larger pot later just wanted to make things harder i think.

hey barry,

i use those same nutes by peters, its very strong so start using only 1/8th strength right now and only use it 2x a week at most.

if after a week she looks great move it to 1/4 strength and so on until you reach 50/50.

you plants look good so far but your going to need PH up using those nutes, any pet store carrys PH up in the aquarium section, its good idea to give your plants a good flush every 3 weeks or so during flower to rid of excess salts and other build up, when you flush use just plain water.
