I just put my plants into flowering about 5 days ago. They are all about 18-22 inches high and have been in veg for about 5 weeks. I wanted to give them a little extra size before i put them in flowering because i had some nutrient problems early on. Since i put them into flowering i have seen little to no growth tho. Is this normal for the first week since the light cycle is changing? Just wanna make sure I'm not doing anything wrong. Thanks guy!

hahah sadly its not my plant. i love purple weed!! u can add a little unsulphered molasses to give ur plant a bost of essential sugars and feed the microbeasteis in ur soil so ur plant can take in as much nutrient as it wants with more ease. table spoon per gallon is the amount.

where can i get the molasses at? and how do i mix it in? just with water? ill give it a shot if i know exactly how to do it!
You can get it at any grocery store. Grandma's Molasses is one brand that is recommended.

To mix it in? Just pour it in the top of the water jug. I use water jugs to water, so I just add it in, then shake the bottle to mix it up properly.

Very simple.

Have fun.

When you put a plant under a 12/12 light cycle if they aren't sexually mature it could take a while for them to start growing and showing flowers. I hope you have some high lights man because if you take care of em, they will probably end up between 4.5 to 5.5 ft... I did the same thing on my grow and fried the leaves of one of my plants. The buds are very very leafy and don't really have much consistency and I'm almost positive its because of this. Careful with em, and good luck.

Yeah, i have 8 feet vertical to work with. Question tho, the plants are showing a really really light green/yellow on almost all the leaves. Ive narrowed it down to either overwatering or lack of nutes. Ive been using a 15-10-15 drop mix that says "use everytime you water" and it was doing ok, but now the leaves arent very green. I have two in hydro and they are a dark green. Someone told me i can use the water from the hyrdo res to get the right nutes into the plants. I just flushed them and was gonna give that a shot. Any suggestions anyone? Please help!
