cwesto Reviewed by cwesto on 10-21-2007. NEWBIE WITH A LEAF QUESTION??? I have 2 plants a few weeks old. I use a 100W HPS and it's about 2 1/2 ft away. I am flushing them with reg. water to cure some nute burn, But the leaves are droopy and a little yellow, getting greener! They are only about 8-12 inches big and have great little buds with plenty of resin. Not really sure if what i am doing is right, and i've read alot of forums, but am still looking for a little help from my friends. Thanks HB :jointsmile: Rating: 5

ThanksAlot smokin, I read that and alot that are connected. I'm just going to continue these the way they are and my new one veg a little bit. And as I was reading more about it, it is a good way of keeping it contained (height) and very potent! Although the yield is smaller theres ways to overcome most of it, and as a personal smoke I'm sure it'll be fine.

There are confirmed reports of people getting 1gr per watt of available light using the instant 12/12 photoperiod. These people are foregoing the vegetative stage altogether, and getting amazing results in just a few months or less. The only stipulation: you need to be well versed in a great flowering nutrient regimen, since you'll practically be using it right from the start. But...you also need to be able to supplement nitrogen to a plant that, in essence, doesn't need as much nitrogen as a vegging plant would. Add too much, and you're possibly going to end up with a final product that tastes overly "green"...or, worse yet, burning your plants with too much fertilizer.

I'm going to try the instant 12/12 method with some decent bagseed that I've been holding on to. (Not using my killer stock...just in case I goof it all up.) I'll probably make a grow-log here when I decide to give it a try.

In the past few days the buds have really started growing fast. I've been flushing them for a few days but things are looking good right no. I had heard that same thing about 1g=1w, and thats fine, i have some others starting more of a normal schedule. I'll keep in Touch.
