Hard water calcium build-up. Should be fine unless you want to add filters on your water source.

Correct, just dried out nutrient salts/calcium due to evaporation. Nothing to worry over.

Did I start flushing too early?
I started flushing this plant on day 42 of bloom, and in just a week, I noticed a big change in the colouring. For future reference, I would like to hear from you guys if you think I started flushing too early. Also, how long do you think this plant has until harvest - 14 days?

I think I got a photo with my Autos?
I've just started week 3 of flowering with my Oasis genetics NP Ultra Mass autos.. I think one of the plant is not an Auto. What do you guys recommend? Wait it out and see if she flips? Or put her on 12/12? If I do put her on 12/12 can to initiate flower can I go back to 18/6?

When should i switch to a flowering light cycle?
Should I switch to the flowering stage (12/12) now? or wait till the plant is more developed? I do not want to hit the roof. The pics of my plant (June 19th) are in my most recent diary entry (week 10).

Have i been treating photoperiods like autos? The guy said it said auto on pkg but the ads are different depending where. 11 weeks now.
Have i been treating Photoperiods like autoflowers? This may explain the weird grow at least partly. If you click on the Barneys Farm thing and strain name, you will get details and doesnt say autoflower anywhere, jusr femanized. There are different ads for this one.

Can a simple household lamp prevent flowering?
I want to germinate some seeds at the end of the summer and give them some nice time in veg to grow big. The problem is how to prevent them from flowering since the days will be shorter and I'm growing outdoors. I was planning on letting my regular lights on after sunset

Watering daily in arid climate?
I’m struggling with watering my plants in 20% rh and temps up to 89 degrees due to the lights I use putting off too much heat. I have been watering every 2 days and overdid it with 200 ml each time (seedlings). Can I water 50 ml daily to off set the temps?
