Do pre-flowers mean slower growth
MaryJones
started grow question 6y ago
My plant has started showing it's first few pistils (white hairs) in veg. Does this correlate with a decreased growth rate?

answered grow question 6y ago
Hi there! No, I don't think that the pistil showing should slow down the growth at all and actually at the first stages of flowering the stretch will begin and she starts to grow even faster!

During the initial swap from veg to flower it will slow. But as shag said only briefly and then goes into the stretch stage.

Rain flushing nutes out?
Hey guys, I’m growing autos outside and the weather has been very wet and windy. The soil in the pots haven’t dried out in about a week and I’ve been feeding as normal it I’m wondering if I need to feed more because of the rain soaking the soil. Are the nutes being flushed out?

Lighting adjustment for temperature
Tomorrow is going to be a very difficult day to control temperature in the tent. 35C and no aircon. How long can I get away with keeping the lights off? They are on a 20/4 schedule now that the bigger one is flowering. I may be able to dim it very low if It still isn’t too hot
