help with my first cheese

[FaceAche]

hi guys not sure if im posting in the right place but i hope some of you could lend me abit of advice iv been growing for a few years now and usually stick with jack (black scull seeds) but i thought id give exodus cheese ago everything seems fine apart from they seem alittle small for there age 5-6 weeks old and im getting alittle burnt tips and tip curling so i started to set there feed back and feed 15mins every hour which seemed to help alot im using Hydroponics Drip Irrigation System ph is 5.5-6.0 with cf of 1.0 - 1.2 18/6 lighting

but the slight curled ends and slight burnt tips are abit worrying

questions

when should i kick into flower
is the leaf curling anything to worry about
or is all of this due to her wanting to be flipped to 12/12
thanks for any help guys

they look spot on to me , seen my own tips bent more than them at times, where did you get the name faceache its sounds N Irish lol

ps flip to flower ant time all depends on the space you have mate

thanks for the quick reply nutty professor faceache was something my mother used to call me XD oh the happy days lol
i have about 5-6 ft grow space restricted to a tent

[NuttyProfessor]

full strength ? , try half strength , well thats two of us that were called face ache as kids lol

 

[FaceAche]

Mothers aye

not full strength no i think on the bottle EC is 1.8 but thats way to high i tried to reach that 1.4 and started to see the slight yellowing you can see in the first pic so i reduced EC to 1.0 - 1.2 and just kept at that the past week i was also thinking on flowering when they reach around 20cm im at about 15cm currently

for the help btw

 

[NuttyProfessor]

no problems , they will stretch twice to 3 times their size when you flip to 12/12 , are you going to top or tie down or anything like that ?

 

[FaceAche]

bending and tying if it gets to that i was abit concerned about how small they are in comparison to say the jack im used to growing do you think ill still get a nice sized plant from these

 

[NuttyProfessor]

i think they look ok to be honest , some start slow then go like crazy once they get a good root ball

full strength ? , try half strength , well thats two of us that were called face ache as kids lol

feeding times 15mins on 45 mins off
EC 1.4
PH 5.7
temp 74c
