Dark Leaves

[redman71]

Got a little nut burn on a couple of these, some of the leaves are very dark from OD of nitrogen. Should I not feed in a couple of days when it is water time, and just do straight aquarium water at 6.8ph?

Thanks!


p.s. you think by the end of the month I should flower? they are about 2ft high in my closet.

Later

Two feet is good and tall enough to begin flowering.

Flush the soil....switch to 12/12...don't water them again till the soil is somewhere between barely moist and dry. They'll live just fine on all that stored nutrient they've got stocked.

Looks great.

I think I may let them go a little more.

You're aware that they'll continue to grow once flowering begins?

As in...substantial growth. Not an overly bad thing of course...just have a mind toward home much room is over their tops. The rule of thumb indoors is 12'' or 3-4 weeks of veg.

The two perks about going into flowering early...preventing your plants from out growing the space available...but more importantly...determing individual sex asap for sake of things like, saving on nutes, and not wasting electricity on what might be (clones aside) a crop of males.

I'd go apeshit if I sat on plants for nearly two months to find out I've got a squad of males!

good advice, after the first week or two of flowering, I should be able to weed out the males before they pollinate the females right? I think I read that in my indoor bible. Perhaps I shall start my 12/12 regiment tomorrow......darkness from Midnight to noon.
