At this point, my girls were outside. I had started them off straight into dirt and whacked them outside, but this was right at the end of January and our season was coming to an end here in Australia (supposed to be August - March from what i've heard basically)
Wasn't feeding them anything besides straight tap water and not very much of it at this point.
On the 1st April 2018, I moved my girls indoor and put them under their 1000w LED that I got off eBay. Been feeding them Powerfeed & Seasol (fellow Aussie readers will be very familiar with these two products, been around for a while and very popular as well as being dirt cheap and coming in HUGE bottles, they are both fish/seaweed based solutions. The Seasol is not considered a fertilizer as such, but a plant food, sort of like a multi vitamin for the plant. The Powerfeed however does have levels of N mainly and is considered a fert as well as a plant food solution) every other day to give them a little bit of a boost, but will now be reducing that down to once a week before a 2 week flush with molasses before harvest to remove any possible fishy taste or smell 😷 This stuff absolutely reeks especially indoors.
Since then I had been running them 24 hours with no rest under the LED and last night on April 10th 2018 I gave them 24 hours rest in complete darkness. Then I woke them up this morning, gave them a much needed drink and took some pics. Definitely noticed more flowering as a result of the 24 hours in the dark. They will now be on a 12/12 schedule until they are done. 😀 Stay tuned
Lighting changed over to 12/12 cycle until harvest. Noticeable increases since last week. Using seasol and powerfeed only still, using two days in a row then approx 5 - 7 days without, only tap water.
Will begin to introduce molasses to the water in an attempt to increase flavour and override the fishyness of the food I'm giving her.
Stay tuned. :)
