When the flowers start I will switch to a warm spectrum lamp. I do, however, have a question. Do I switch the lamps as soon as I start 12/12 or wait until I see something resembling a flower? Thanks again. You've been a great help and it's better than traversing all the different logs to get one answer.
What wattage is the light you are gonna use? As for the 12/12 question its really up to you. Ive heard people having great success doing either or. I personally switch the bulb as soon as i switch to 12/12. The moment I switch to 12/12 i consider it the first day of flower. Some do it differently.
As for the ph, depending on brand, you would be amazed what a couple drops will do. Its some stout stuff. Once you start using ph and nutes, dont forget to shake up the bottles before you use them.
