About 3 weeks ago buddy popped by with 7 Northern, and 3 Afghani clones, already well rooted, and already zig zaging leaves(I'll bring that up later). Anyways they had to sit in the little rockwool cubes in a 90 degree closet for 2 days while I restocked(it's been a while). It was pretty much a take them or they chuck them situation.

Anyways, I got the dryer set up and got them in pots of sunshine mix under a 400 watt MH bulb. We started advanced nutrients, grow, micro, and bloom. Picked up so timers, and set up the exhaust.

Then we identified a spider mite problem which went a little unnoticed in the rush to get everything set up. That's been fixed up pretty good and is under control. Man can you see the difference once they're gone.

So now about 3 weeks later they are about 10" tall whith huge fan leaves( almost the size of my hand spread out but I've got chick hands), pretty bushy and I just transplanted them into 6" pots(then they exploded in size over night!). When they were smaller I had my waters pH at 6.5 and the run off from the pots was 6.5 too. Now that they are in bigger pots, and the nutriets are being increased the water is at 6.5 but the run off is only 5 pH! So do I have to increase my waters pH to 8 pH or do I have some sort of problem going on? I'm following what they say in the catalogue.

The other question is about this zig zagging thing. I've grown aa few times but have always had to chop my crop early to get rid of it quick so I've never made it far into flowering, and much less educated. Anyways I read that zigzagging is a sign that plants are ready to flower, but my plants were zigzagging as clones. What are good indications that a plant is ready to flower? I don't want to wait forever but I don't want to force them either. Anyways TIA.
