Nice pics. She is coming along. Fish Cake gave you good advice. My RH fluxuated during veg as well. I used a jug of water and that helped stabilize it. Now that I'm in flower the RH is steady between 40 and 50%

looks sweet brother!
today was picture day for me too. wont be long and you are gonna catch me
are you going to top her?

Thanks fish cake. I feel that I am doing a lot better with this plant than my last ones. Her leaves look really healthy and there are no burn spots. I don't think I'm going to top this one. I did with one of my other plants and she ended up dead lol. I don't think it was from toppin but I'm just letting this one do her thing lol. I may LST just to give the bottom branches more light but maybe not. The way I have my light setup I don't think I'll have to. Thanks for the advice and praise.

Hey everyone here's an update. She is now about 10 inches high and her under branches are starting to stretch up the side. She has 3 good large side branches and then some small ones about half way up the plant. I counted 8 plus the top bud sites so I'm pumped with her size. I think I'm going to put her into flower this Sunday(2 days). I have read that you give them like 36 hrs of dark when you first start to flower. Is his true?? I don't want to hurt her lol. And I had not started feeding yet. Should I give her a one time dose of flowering fert or just let her go until she asks for it. And I'm going to start molasses in the next watering.
Thanks for stopping by and good growing all!!!!

no you dont have to put her in the dark before flower atleast not 36hrs. you could go with 24 but I just change the lights to 12/12.
and as far as flower nutesI would just do 1 more veg feeding to give her a little more nitrogen and some molasses will help the flower side out. then the next feeding go with your flower nutes.and about 5weeks add a dose again of your veg nutes to your flower nutes.
also if you can find the Brer Rabbit brand of molasses I would buy that over the grandma's but either will do

Hey everyone I have an update on the lady. I am day 5 into flowering and she showed her first pistils today. She's about 14 in tall and has about 10 bud sites plus the top cola. I gave her a 1/3 strength feeding a day before I started to flower her. I also did the 24 hrs of dark going into flower and she showed sign of faster pistil development than other clones of her did. I also picked up some molasses to start giving her in a week or so. I'm pretty excited to the next couple of weeks to watch her progress.
And I have a question.
I only have one plant so I never mix up large amount of nutes. How much molasses would I need for only about 350-500 ml. And also do I need to add it to warm water?? It seems like it won't mix well with cold water lol.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.

I dont know ML but if you add 2tbs per gallon of room temp water it will mix fine. at least it does for me. and dont be afraid to use molasses from the start of your grow.

Nice job so far brotha! I love the air -pots myself so far. Come check out my sweet purple in an air-pot. Happy growing!

The metric conversion would be about a quarter tbsp for every 1/2 L. I also agree with fish cake about the solubility. I saw a lot of people that heat their water a little bit, but no need really. A couple of good shakes always mix 2 tbsp/gal for me.
I'm glad to hear your plant is doing well in flowering. pics ?

Note that tbsp is different than tsp. So you should be good mixing 1tsp in 500ml.

How much molasses should you use per gallon of water?? Nevermind ..... I just read it a little further down.

 

[spring2012]

I agree. The molasses will mix fine with room temp water. I use 2 Tbsp's to a gallon.

 

[Muttt]

Do you guys even give the molassess with other nutes like BPN.

 

[iSmokes]

Yes, it's just an addition to the mix.

ISmokes said it!

Cool ..... my wife tells me "I've got a bottle of molassess in the pantry" ..... how nice.
