Couple Crazy Questionz 4 The PROs

ok heres a couple odd questions....

What would be the effect if any by using vitamin enhanced or Flavored h20 Couple weeks B4 harvesting?
ive used volcanic water with a higher PH, dont know if that raised the PH Level but im guessing it did, plus mixed one watering with lime to nuetralize the soil.

Next, I Know when harvesting u use 12/12 cycle but does that have to be consistant or can it be 6 hours here, 6 hours there?

Last, My Smallest girl of the bunch is about 1 foot tall, but been growing under
400 MH bout 2 months, just was in a smaller pot but i just switched to 400W HPS for flowering cycle will She be ok to Flower / Bud?

Thanks for any Advice or Input.....

my bad tryed to post pics but wouldnt work will post later

Mmkay. Does anyone still say that anymore? Anyways, I'm kinda confused as to whether you've started flowering or not. More info would be great, and pictures would be fantastic.

I, personally, don't think the water would do anything, but I've never tried it, so what the hell do I know?

Has to be 12/12. If it was 6 here, 6 there, then it would be 6/6/6/6, not 12/12. Besides, I think that would be a lot of differences in light for your plant to handle. I think it would be best to stick with the basics. The 12/12's just harvesting, though. That's what tells your plants to switch into flowering. Has to do with a build-up of chemicals or something.

A lot of people switch to flowering at one foot. Make sure you switch to a bigger pot when you start flowering though, because you plants can double to triple in height.

no 1. why would u want too, the last couple of weeks plain water or ripening solution.
no2. how many days do u see with 6 hours of light then 6 of dark then 6 of light and so on . jesus man use ur head , by changing the light u are trying to simulate the changing of the seasons.
no 3 . and finally the only normal question u have asked , yes she'll be fine to flower, but what i would say is put her in a larger pot as the size of the root ball can determine the amount of bud

i appreciate all the info

Shallow Hal, somebody gotta ask these questions might aswell be me, yeah i know seasons dont have 6 on and off, but weather constantly changes outdoors, somedays cloudy, rain, so just thought id ask because there is no perfect envirment that exsists.

Graph thank you for your info also, i wanted to transfer to bigger pot but since i just started flowering i dont wanna put em in shock or turn hermie so would it still produce ok if i dont transplant?

How big is your pot? Anything less than 2 gallons is probably going to hurt your yield. For every bit of mass above the ground, there is generally an equal mass of roots below the ground, so if you allow your root mass to grow large, the part you're really interested in also grows larger. If your pots are 2 gallons or more, I'd just let it run this time though. If they are less than that, I'd seriously consider transplanting to a larger pot. Either way, you know what to do next time so far as pot-size is concerned. ;)

I suggest you read up in the Faq section.
And you could save us all a uge headache.
Your asking stuff that is very basic. And can be found in the Faq section in about 3 minutes.
I knew all this beginer stuff before I ever even planted a seed.
I don't get it.

well ur light question is still stupid ..... ur plant uses the far ends of each spectrum as in UV and IR , clouds ,rain and whatever uv and ir get threw most things and also if u know about light why ask a nonsense question like this. just giving u facts dude u asked for tem and u urself said silly questions . remember one thing >>> if u grow ...u'll know<<<<

i ask because ive read 2 books and have been a member here for close to a year now reading Q's and A's. These were questions in back of my mind that i wondered about..
1, everything you put into your soil effects and is intaken by your plant, why is it stupid to ask about using a water with higher Ph/ vitamin enhanced or flavored?
2, Out of anything I read it always says 12/12, but they never got detailed enough for me i guess, i look at things from more then one angle, sometimes im wrong, no ones perfect.

Thank You Jamstigater for actually Helping and Not passing Judgment on the Questions or on me, I will go buy a 2 gallon pot, this one was more like a quart, lol... but its the runt of the bunch jus had an extra pot, would i need root gel like a clone or just flush and transplant?

guess i can only ask questions after i know everything there is to know...


Thank Everyone for there Inputs...

There is no way you read 2 books.
And all over this forums are the answers to your questions.
So I doubt you really read anything.

Pwnt

well J dogg i skimmed threw the 2 books, its easy to say its all around the forums but i beg to differ, questions might have been odd but i've never seen them asked and yes i read 2 e-books on the cultivation that eomeone on this forum sent me a while back and ive been growing for 7-8 months threw trial and error, I would understand if i asked a question like what kina soil is the best or how do i determine the sex but some people need to get off the high horse and if its a waste of your time viewing the post, it is really a waste of your time and a headache to reply bashing someone for asking questions....

Appreciate your Time though :rasta:

Next, I Know when harvesting u use 12/12 cycle but does that have to be consistant or can it be 6 hours here, 6 hours there?

I guess this is the one I was talking about.
But your right. I shouldn't be so judgemental.
Sorry.

I don't think you should root gel. Flush, change, and pray for the best. Then again, I've never tried it, so what do I know? (ooooh deja vu). The roots of the plants grow deeply. When you discourage the growth of the roots, you're also discouraging the growth of your plant.

Anyhoo, as for the water, I don't think it was a stupid question. It does make sense that it could make a difference, I just don't think it would, just by considering what flavors the water (most likely some form of citric acid) and how that would directly affect the plant, you know, make it more acidic, though probably slightly.

I don't doubt that you read two books. However, ebooks tend to... lack. Trust me. I should be the poster-boy for that. When you put them in HPS switch to 12/12. The HPS doesn't make the plant flower, it encourages the flowering process by providing the end of the light spectrum which the plant will use during flowering (did that make sense?). Vegetation for two months is fine, though. People keep mothers in vegetative for years.


All in all, I'd say just keep at it. The grow faqs are incredible, really, and really read them, don't just skim. I'm not trying to lecture you or anything, but when you're dealing with HIDs especially, you're gonna wanna know everything you can.

hi ice...

it is imperative that a plant receive 12 hours of uninterupted darkness ...

ph of water used in a soil grow should be 6.8

iloveyou


what is a "pro" ?

Hey thank you very much for helping me out and i appoligize for asking stupid questions but i really am intrested and wanna know everything i can but im sorry cause i know how ya feel when people keep asking the same questions, usaully i dont have to ask nothing because theres usaully a topic up to pinpoint my problem and awnser my question thanks to you all and cannibis.coms new owner 4 keeping the site the way it was.

I Just Started Flowering Yesterday So There Sleeping but i will be posting some pics to see what yall think and i wont make it a habit asking rather odd questions b4 checking the FAQ 1st. Well thanks again this is the first day of 12/12 cycle with HPS, using FoxFarm Earthworm casting/ bat guana mix and will prolly go buy some fert for the flowering tomorrow long as its not to Early and Keep You all Updated.


I Appreciate Everyones Input, Thanks

Don't limit yourself just because of me.
It was my bad.
I was being a jerk.
And I'm sorry.
There are no stupid questions.
Just stupid answers like my first one.
Ask all you want bro.
It was me who was wrong here.
The darkness thing is well known.
You want your plants to be in 12 hours of pitch black, un interupted Darkness.
