no she took some time from the switch to 12 hours on and off to start the flowering I count flowering when white hairs start coming out of the tops not from the light switch.

Ok cool that was my next question.. I think I might need to start doin that.. Been noticing I have to go a extra week or 2 in flowering.. Which makes sense since it takes about 2 for the pistils to show..

yeah the flowering phase takes a little bit to start once you switch the light cycle. And I forgot got to mention I'm getting a 400 watt digtal apollo horticulture hps/mh ballast my mom loves me and gave me the money for the ballast now just have to come up with 40 bucks for the reflector and hps bulb lol.

Yea I have to get a new reflector for mine also.. I need a closed hood for the heat the bulb makes then everything should be good

yeah I thought about a cool hood but I have an open room to grow in so heat will not be an issue I'm going with a bat wing reflector so do you run an apollo ballast.

Ok here's what I got at my local walmart they had the best deal on Alaska fish fertilizer only $13.54 and I grabbed some other stuff to try I know the perlite has plant food on it but that's OK I wash it off with hot water before use and I ordered some fox farm happy frog soil getting 51 quarts of that so I should have a better grow I kinda did an experiment my girl was put in soil used from my last breeding project probaly not a good idea but it still grew good not so much fresh soil from now on lol.

Ok here's some bud porn she's starting to become really frosty and I flushed and switch to organic nutrients and now my ph is holding at a steady level shouldn't have any popcorn nugs because of the 150 watt hps side light. And I got my happy frog soil today going to add some perlite and some jiffy seed starting mix and some more organic material in the from of nature care organic nutrients by miracle gro npk is 3-4-2 and has calcium and beneficial bacteria so we shall see how it does.
