flush until your run off is a 6.0. dry you pot out for a few days, resume everything but use less nutrients

How is about ppm? Be careful if you have hard water on your site... Maybe try with 50-50 RO 💪

Flowering stage.
Hi, this is my first photoperiod, 2 questions. 1) How much time (approximately) will it take to start flowering? (flipped to 12/12yesterday). 2) My light, in the dark cycle still brights a little bit after it's been ON for 12 hours. Is it relevant in order to start flowering? TY

LED 600W Light Distance Requirements.
Hello everyone, I have a 60x60x140cm tent and I'm using a 20L/5gal pot and a 600w LED. I was wondering with each growth stage what distance should I keep my lights from the top of my plant? Currently for my seedling I've got it at 38" and I have about 10" more space to go up.

Is it time to flush or wait a week?
Hey what’s up grow gang, we’re approaching the final weeks of flowers, but I was curious as to if our grow is ready to be flushed, or if they possibly need another week of nutrients, and also the best flush technique for best results. Thank you for answering in advance!

Normal seedling growth at day 5?
I have posted a Day 5 picture to my diary - it seems to me the seedling is a slow grower, and the leaves are dark green. Does it seem like typical day 5 growth? I am wondering if the FFOF is a little too hot? A lot of other seedlings look to be a lighter shade of green.

Should I keep giving nutrients or switch to just water?
Judging by how it looks, what is your recommendation for nutrition now when it is so late in flowering. Should I keep giving her bloom nutrients or should I just give water to "flush" her? Thank you

Amber trics in greenhouse.
I noticed that it is taking forever for any trics to turn amber. I’m growing in a greenhouse under plastic and temperature and light are late fall low. Wondering if it is a lack of uv (filtered by plastic) and/or low light levels. Any greenhouse growers know?

New growth gets lighter in color
Looking at the pictures you can see new growth on both plants is getting lighter in color each day. I’m thinking nitrogen, maybe? Complete day by day photos are in the diary. Thanks
