nothn different really. just make sure they get 12 hours of nonstop darkness, you can use green bulbs if you just wanna see em that bad. give em veg nutes every third feeding or so. you might also wanna find some calmag or get some epsom salt just in case you end up with a deficiency, unless you added some dolomite lime to your soil before you started

sometimes there looking a little dry, is it alright to mist them with water or would that cause mold or somthing,, and are you supposed to flush befor flowering or just start the flowering nutes just like the other nutes(wanting to flower soon and want to do everything perfect , as good as i can),,,,,,,,,,,, and also i have one hydro plant and was wonding if when i switch to 12/12 should i keep the pump on the hydro on 24/7 or have it go off with the 12/12

i dont know about dro, but i would think leave the watering the same way to avoid any stress, you should ask a hydro grower about that tho. and i dont mist personally but it wont hurt anything if you do. just do it lightly and start slow and make sure your not frying them. the cfls shouldnt get that hot tho. find chainseeker and ask him about the hydro question

both of them are 15-30-15?? you can use them, just start with VERY small feedings and slowly work your way up. every third feeding or so give them some veg nutes to make up for the low N. they looking wonderful btw. good job!!!

so should i go dark for 24 hours first then 12/12, or just go 12/12 or does it matter, iv heard both, i turned the light off last night, and all the lights i have are the 6500k i have 12 100watt equiv. cfls on 3 plants, should i chage them to a different kind for flowering,

a lower color temp would be better for flowering, but those will work. youll get good trich production with them ;). it dont really matter about the lights, but i think letting them go 24 hours with no light at all would be just unnecessary stress...
