Guys:

The "FF" arrived....along with the PH tester. took a quick read, 6.5-6.6. Also gave a quick feed of 3 Teaspoons/Gallon as recommended. Would these be accurate #'s all around?

The main thing is to make sure you add the nutes then ph cause nutes can raise or lower the ph of your water. Just start off will small doses then work your way up to full strength if everything keeps looking good.

K:

Just re tested PH.... 6.6-6.7 max. Nute wise... What is the hottest feed given my environment?

Go easy with the FF at first. Your ph is fine.

Hmmm:

Tons of ??'s. Appears that I will be using all 3 when I flower. also looks as though they are using an 18/12 schedule (Me....24 to 12) but I assume I'm on track using this as a guide. One more technical ?.... When will I know that they are in fact all girls? You're a good man bro!

My bad, forgot to say to just follow for the flowering part. You're doin great in veg already.
-Sometimes they will show in veg, ofc depends on each plant. Ive only come across a few that have done so.
Within the first 2 weeks of 12/12, they should be showing.

[Esteban1]

judging from the pics, how many more weeks do you think I should stay in veg (considering my experience)
To harvest a decent crop? Also.... Contemplating the transplant. Remeber you saying that I could veg out entirely using the 1 gallon containers. I also said that I could use the 5 gallon buckets (will steam'm clean). Is this a traumatic event? Any other tidbits of experience gratefully accepted. Pics later tonight.

Cheers Bro:wtf:

I would wait a few days-week after the tops to recover.
Then transplant to 5Gal.
Then take the next few weeks to get all your tops to an even canopy: lst/pinch/twist/supercrop to keep the stretchers at bay.
Then flip.

Bro:

No disrespect......I'm an old school hipster but no comprende. Please translate. "lst/pinch/twist/supercrop"... to keep the stretchers at bay.
Then flip. Thanx..

Even though you topped, some branches will grow taller than others. You wanna try to get all the branch tops even with each other.
This way youll get even light coverage when you start to flower, and the tops will stretch around the same heights.
-lst is just tieing branches down.
-pinching is just that: pinch the taller ones a few nodes down, and theyll slow em up a little.
-twisting is actually twisting a mid part of the taller branches also to slow em down.
-these are a few supercropping techniques
