that actually makes a lot of sense so in week 4 I can start taking the time down slowly will you see changes in the plants quick
Not really too quick, it is probably going to be slower the longer the time is on if you bring it down to 12/12 gradually you'll see a greater difference after you set it at 12/12 but again.
Correct me if I'm wrong, this could shock the plant as you took its hours down half in a matter of two weeks instead of two months. It all depends on the seeds genetics, I have only used a few seeds, and grow the same seeds in my area as all strains react differently, grow differently, and produce differently.
And I use the same feeds with each plants besides my gardens and house plants. You don't want to have around 5 water jugs (1 for each plant)
Cannabis, all depends on who is growing it, I'd just recommend finding growers who have the same strain as you growing and get tips from them, on these forums but also, some of the growers use completely different techniques when growing such as hydro compared to soil. I'm all soil, and organic, natural, so mine take around 4-8 months depending on the strain growing at the time.
Nutes, Ferts, and rich soils such as Fox Farms and Happy Frog,will help boost growth. But again, these soils depend on what seed your growing, some genetics have different levels they want with N-P-K levels. I'd just suggest, go to a grow shop and talk with someone who is 420 friendly, and explain what you have going on.
Just don't mention cannabis unless you're a legal grower, they know what you're referring to 99% of the time as they are usually growers themselves, and is why they're called hydroponic shops.
