Some info up front that might help
Strain: #1 Skunk bag seeds 3 Plants
Age: 7 weeks indoor under lights and 5 weeks prior growing outdoors
Medium: Soil-3 parts sterile soil,1 part peat and 1 part perlite
Size container: 5 Gallon
Lights: 5 weeks under 2 300 watt LED's and 2 weeks under 1200 watt Led 24/0 timing
Temp and RH: ranges from 70-78 degrees and 42%-55% humidity
Water Freq: two gallons at 6.2PH for 3 plants every other day, Plants are about 3 feet tall now
Nute's: Raw fertilizer's grow formula NPK of 7-4-5 added every other watering with Humic/Kelp 5:2 every 2 weeks
Tent: 4X4X7, 16 sq. ft.
Okay, that is probably way too much info but the guide said to give all info when asking for help. These have been in Veg for most likely way too long(about 3 months) but only indoors for the last 7 weeks. I have finally managed to get my 4X4 flowering tent set up with the 1200 watt LED and a 6" fan(420cfm) and filter setup. The first question I could really use some help with is how best to switch to flower. Should I just start the 12/12 timer or should I let them go dark for 24 hours before the switch. I have used the search function and done a lot of reading on it but I would like to get some advice from some real world experience. The second question or issue is that I have been using distilled water since I am on a private well and the water is very hard and I also have a softener that adds salt to the mix. I have what I can best guess to be a Cal/Mag deficiency and am adding Cal/Mag starting today. Based on the attached photo would you all agree that is what's going on or should I look into other areas. . If you stayed with this crazy long post this far and are willing to help I truly appreciate it. I will try to be way less wordy in future posts as I learn what is really needed to ask for advice. Thanks again.
