I have a post in basic growing but I sort of wanted to find this answer out ASAP. Indoor, 250watt HPS. Grown from seed. I am moving from my place in a little more then 2 months so I started to force flower when plants were about 4 weeks old. Started 12/12 about 8 days ago. I have never grown from seed before. It is good to note that this is a closet with good ventilation, but its been about 105 everyday for the last 2 weeks. I moved my large fan from inside the closet to my window, and the small one into the closet, and it dropps temps by a good 8 degrees so its a little more manageable now.

I am being told by some friends that I should move back to 24/0 and let them mature more because they arent old enough to flower. They also said it would take the same amount of time in the end. I really dont care too much about yield, this was just to experiment with seeds and how they would fair with hardly any attention or nutrients.

So should I continue 12/12? There are no signs of sex. Or should I move back to 24/0? I feel like moving to the 12/12 has slowed their growth considerably. They were growing .5" everyday for awhile. Sometimes more. I have always used clones so Im used to flowering with only 3-4 weeks veg at times.


PS. If someone wouldn't mind, I am confused about using pH drops with nutrients. If I use some Flora Nova and test it with drops for pH, will it read inaccuractly because its not clear? My water is like 7.5-8, but with the ferts it says its about a 6. Is this false? No money for electronic pH.
