Way Too Slow...WHY?..Please

[fishens]

The instructs for FoxFarm say to begin when plants have reached their peak of vegetative growth and are starting to show first signs of flowering. I started it when they reached maturity, but before signs of flower. I agree, I don't think it is that..as Mscaboo said..I didn't continue with the veg nutes, I just stopped them. Temp w\lights on 100, lights off 95. soil is mixed with 40% perlite. lights are 4' flouros,2 above, 2 behind. Thanks for everyones help. Any more ideas are always appreciated. I am going to give them veg ferts for a week or so unless one of you experienced people advice otherwise. all my thanks to you folks. Enjoy your Day.

100 °F is way too warm.

If those are the usual temps...your plant will spend most of its time trying to stay cool and merely survive. Too much heat is a definite growth inhibitor.

hey slowthestone are you sure about the temp thing. I always thought they liked it hot. Does everyone agree with this? if so what temp would you recommend? thanks

[slowthestone]

Ideal temps with the lights on are between 74-78°F, though some strive for 68-74°F, lights off...71-74°F. You've seen that they can handle higher temps...but handling isn't thriving eh.

Do yourself a google search for the ideal temperature range of your plant. You'll find your answer.
