Common flowering mishaps

[kjc0314]

Hey,
I'm nearing the flowering stage and just wanted to know if anyone had any common tips they could part to me? Are there certain things I should look out for as opposed to vegetative?
Thanks!

If you're using hps for flowering only, odds are your temps are gonna go up some. This may induce some insect species to become active, so keep an eye out for pests shortly after and during the transition . . . especially the lower growth, undersides.

Does hps get much hotter than mh?

continue the veg nutes 2 to 3 weeks into the 12/12 stage

You should actually switch over to a bloom fertilizer (High in P/K, Low in N) to help promote flowering. Keep humidity below 50% to prevent bud mold.

Dunno . . . never have used mh myself.
Just know that the first time I converted to hps for flowering, I had a mite outbreak . . . which I attributed to the increase in temp.

yep hps bulb is going to heat your box up. use blood bud to help your girl's flower sooner.then you can use big bud during flowering. last couple week's you can use overdrive, to help them fill out. best of luck to you.

Ya, I actually have all 3 of those additives ready to use. How much bud blood and big bud should I began mixing with the nutes at first? Gradually increase?
