Flipping to flower!
Newbiegrower420started grow question 5y ago
Hi all, I’m just getting ready to make the flip to flower.. But interested to know how you all do it? Do you put them in darkness for a period first? Just flip? Change the light timings gradually? What’s your methods?
Thanks 🙏😊

hello
I usually first think about my schedule and when I'll have time to tend to the plants(work, school, sleep gets in the way), environmental factors like if it's winter i try to run my lights more in the evening to keep them a little warmer when it's coldest. Stuff like that.
Then i just flip them. I don't ever run a 24 hour schedule so the transition from an 18/6 isn't ever so drastic that it pisses my plants of when they go to 12/12. Also if your environment is in good shape, temp humidity etc, and they're healthy going into flowering it should usually be a smooth switch.👍

There is a switch on the back of the plant...
Or you could watch this.

Heya!
I personally just make the flip to 12-12 lighting without tapering it down. In addition to the light schedule change, I still use veg nutes the first two weeks of flower for the stretch and then switch to bloom nutes. I do know of a lot of growers who do flush before they flip to flower as well, I personally don't do this.
Cheers and good luck

Irregular light schedule.I am thinking about giving her 24h lights a few days a week and then go back to 18h. Just to give her a boost. Will this irregular light schedule harm her?
My first thought is that it doesn’t matter much since she is an auto, however I know that plants love balanced environments.Week 3

Hey growmies✌️💚, so I finally have a PAR meter. With all my 3 LEDs on at the lowest setting I reach like 77 umol max. What would you recommend for seedlings that small like in the picture? I saw seedling/clone 100 - 300. So just wondering how much for my little flowers? 😁✌️

Is my LED too close or too far from my plant?So this is my first grow and it feels like she’s growing a bit slow. Currently at day 10. Distance was 62 cm. The LED is 100W. Now the distance is 57 cm. I’m wondering if I’m just impatient. Is this distance appropriate? How is the growth looking?

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
