I have 8 week old girls that I am planning to go 12-12 with tonite. That in itself is a miracle as they had major malnourishment their first 2 weeks; then ph problems for the next 3 weeks, due to a tap water ph of 8-8.5. I finally put "ph down" in the water to bring it down to a 7. Within a week they were healthy enough to transplant into ffof soil. Now 2 weeks later here is the first question- the ffof soil has enough nitrogen for 4 weeks. If I flower them now should I hold off on using the flowering fert for 2 more weeks? I plan on usin a bloom fert that is 5-10-5? Or should I wait to flip for 2 weeks- (they will be monsters by then)?
The other issue affects only 3 of them- all the same strain. They are showing signs of ph stress again with a few clawed tips and a couple upturned tips. I ph'ed the runoff at last watering and it was 5-5.5! The ph of ffof soil is 6.5 to 6.8 but from what I've read the runoff can be pretty low. Would it be beneficial to stop ph'ing the water for those 3 so it is more alkaline to start with? The other girls are happy with the ph'ed water so I'll leave them with it. Anyway thanks for taking a look and have a Happy Holiday!
