If ya have a pk boost and are watering add it in. Through em in dark for day. Increase the light once in 12/12.

That's very general info.

I'm going to be using maxigrow bloom but my soil still has more than enough nutrients. Last time I checked ppm one was at 1800 and the other was still at like 2000 so I'm just giving 2.5ml of calmag. Any more and it gives them nute burn

So you wanna increase light intensity by 1/3 once you flip then see how it goes from there.

I'm running a 315w cmh at 245w right now. I'll wait a week or 2 and bump it up to the full 315

Yeah have to watch the plants but try to keep the same DLI. The more light the bigger the and more dense the bud. But if we cook em then not so much lol

You are right I mean 1/4 not sure why I was saying 1/3

Is that the norm Aqua to increase by a 1/3 is that just for the first week of flower then add more intensity.say for eg using 315 at max in veg then using a gavita 6/750 for flower....

Your plants look good newbie ..how old are they bro..

Well IMO you should be pushing the plants to see what they can handle in veg in terms of DLI (daily light integral) this will help eliminate most of the tinkering and guess work in flower. If your on a 24/0 light cycle and switch to 12/12 you would the increase the light by 50% if 18/6 25%. (Umm the last few days I have been saying 1/3 it should be 1/4 idk how I was confusing this) but that way you keep the same DLI and the plants should be fine with it and close to thier max.

I mean normally I need to cut back a bit at first but over few weeks i can get it up close to the same DLI like mine at 45k lux now. I will flip and likely have to cut back to about 50-55k then as they tolerate it up to 60-70k depending how they do. But I do run co2
