2) Plants need more potassium for flowering so NPK - 10-40-10 is good, but build up to max strength gradually say add half what you should for the first two weeks or so, then build up to max dose so as not to shock the plants - also some people stop the nutes completely two weeks before harvest.

3) Sure - I had my fan on the same timer as the lights so it was off too when they were sleeping. (keep an eye on the temps though.)

The best of luck

Hi sdhall,
Thanks very much for your help!
Do you remember the link or site where you read about the dutch growers?
Sounds interesting.
