12/12 Ready?

treefa · Feb 2, 2021

First time growing. Hoping for someone to let me know if my baby is ready for 12/12? She's on a 18/6 right now. She is 11 weeks old with alot of minor and major set backs. Do not want a big tree, just enough for personal use. Once i do flipped what should i do to prevent failure?

Is that an auto flower? That plant looks to have been in flower for a week or two already. I don't know much about auto flowers, but I think you leave the light cycle on 18/6 for the best yield... I don't grow autos so I don't know for sure, but I've never seen a plant still in veg with so many pistils starting to form flowers...I would almost be willing to bet you have an auto flower.

If you are still running your lights at 18/6 continue to do so, you apparently have an autoflower.

Agree with above. That looks like it is 1.5 - 2 weeks into flower already.

bag seeds or not....there is no doubt those are autos....do not switch to 12/12....keep them on 18/6 or even better 20/4

Cool, thanks so much!! How do i feed because my other plant i gave to much N, i guess

in the flowering stage.
Here go my sick baby, the. I over fed with N. She the same age as the other one. So i guess she flowering also?

Defo autos. Switch to 24hr light if you can. They will pack on more weight and do not need any darkness. Feed 0 25 to 0 5 strength of nutes as usually don't need much feed and don't really have time for any major setbacks. Hope that helps

You are missing one.

Follow this chart beginning at 25% of what they are recommending.

Begin at week 7 and move from there

I am already seeing nitrogen deficiencies in some of those pics. So the bottle you didn't show would handle that.

Yes i do have all 3. Oh really, so i do use all 3 while in the flowering stage, just start with 25% of recommended dose.

When do i start this new schedule? Should i wait for the soil to completely dry out?

Do i need Calmag?

Other on here say that its too much Nitrogen!!

At one point you probably did. But now the plant is begging for it.

See those yellow leaves down at the bottom of the plant? That is the plant having to pull nitrogen out of the leaves to supply itself.

Wait for soil to dry out.

Begin immediately.

On the calmag conversation what kind of water are you using?

Tap water

Then no you probably won't need calmag.

Is it municipal or from a well? If from a well you might need calmag. It would have to get tested.

If municipal you should be able to get a report of what's in the water with a Google search to make sure it has sufficient cal and mag.
