I've grown outside quite a bit. Saw a buddy with an autoflower packed tent and thought I'd give it a grow. 16" pots, 1" pond rock in bottom with holes, full of miracle grow potting soil. I'm going to see what happens with Walmart garden center supplies for the most part, tomato plant food for nitrogen and a bloom mix for flowering. I started with a "1200" light that draws 235w with the cooling fans and added more lights every couple weeks as these 2 plants grew. I eventually got another of those "1200"s, a thin aluminum "1000" full spectrum at 100w and 5 side lights that draw under 20w each off Amazon. I have right at 600w total from the socket in led light. I don't intend to use techniques beyond picking off really large leaves and bending stalks away from each other some. I will also love them and hug them and squeeze them and call them George, as well as mist with water and breathe CO2.
If the counting starts when the first set of leaves pop out then I'm at 8 weeks with today's pics. I've started plain water 4 days ago. How close does this look to chopping?
You have 2 weeks minimum. Don't flush, it's a useless practice. All you have done is starved it right when it should be fattening up the most. Flushing doesnt "remove nutes" from the plant and doesn't make smoke harsher.
