12/12 with autos in flower?
2x2growing
started grow question 5y ago
I’ve never grown autos so I’m looking for some advice.. Is it better switch your lights to 12/12 when the plant goes into flower? I feel like in theory this would make sense for THC development. Thank you

Slow my Grow
I am having an unexpected emergency move. So now... I need to slow my vegetative growth without triggering flowering. Is it better to reduce the nutrients or have less light? I need to hold out a couple more weeks and they are getting very large fast.

Watering practice okay?
When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

Bend Her Over?
Any chance of super cropping a thriving auto on day 42? She hasn’t flinched at training yet; and got hacked on. I’m running out of vertical space with some developing runners. She’s going to stretch a bit yet, and currently 12” from light with 650 PPFD. Bend, or not to bend?

I have questions about when to flush and finish my grow, I know it’s too early now 6.5 weeks into flower. Some of my top pistols are turning brown most are still white. Flush soon with ph water or wait? Can I give Molasses after I flush? Thanks guys.

When to train a plant / new growth GG #4 clone
Couple things. Is it time to start thinking about training this plant? Also I have not seen it produce these little bits at the end here - maybe just very early stage of leaf growth i personally have never seen before but looks different. An ingrown leaf? Is that a thing?

Ready for a flushing ?
As I don't have any magnifying glass or microscope to check the trichomes, I'm relying on the color of the pistils to evaluate the maturity of the plants. However, as it is my first grow, I don't really now if they are ready for a flushing. What do you think ?
