I only have a pH and ppm meter so I don't know the EC. I was hesitant to trust the probe, but I did a slurry test last night and the pH came in around 6 so maybe its not that bad. I think I will drop the extra bloom nutes as you suggest. But keep in mind you only use one of the bloom nutes...

That makes sense. I'm going to stop over thinking and just watch my plant and see how it behaves. I have grown with these same nutes two other times(2007 and 2013) and they mostly turned out fine. Its been awhile so I keep second guessing myself. There is so much conflicting info. Some...

I'm only using the three basic liquid nutes(Grow Big, Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom), and the three granular nutes(Open Sesame, Cha Ching, and Beastie Bloomz). I only give nutes every other watering. I'm going to see how the plant responds and go from there, if it looks like its burning, i will flush...

Thank you. Good to know. I literally just fed this plant today, should I flush it out right now? Or should I wait to see how it responds? I was more worried about flushing it a week into flowering, but now you have me worried I'm going to burn the hell out of it.

When I said in flower, I meant that I had switched my lights. Apologies for the confusion.

I'm using Fox Farms nutes, and 1800 ppm for this stage is in the range they recommend. With regards to the perlite I was wondering the same. A high % of perlite would allow the roots to breath better and make it easier to prevent salt build up(This was my thought anyway). This is the first...

It had pre-flowers before I switched the light. 100% The light was flipped last Saturday. Its only been 5 days in flower.

I'm growing in soil with a high perlite content(30-40%) and I have noticed some discrepancies in my input pH(water/nutes), compared to my soil pH(tested with cheap soil meter https://amzn.to/2N8TYMv) compared to my runoff pH. My input water pH is right around 7 with ppm of around 330. When I...

Thanks for the prompt response. I was aware that the flowring nutes are used because they are the proper ratio of nutes, that the plant needs when flowering. I just thought i had remembered reading that if you give a plant those nutes late in the grow season, it could trick the plant into...

Is it possible to induce flowering a little earlier with the use of fertilizer? I realize that the reduction in light is what actually causes flowering but could i start introducing my flowering nutes, before daylight drops below 12 hours to jumpstart the process? Could i start flower nutes a...

If i was to imbreed the transexual male to a female clone of itself, would this result in very stable seeds and/or would i just be passing on the gene that helps to cause a female to change to a male? Any ideas?

Damn, i should have kept it and pollinated a branch or two. A bunch of feminized seeds would have been nice. Oh well.

Anyone else have any experiences with this or any theories on the result of pollinating a female with a identical clone female that has turned male.

i dont really have the space to keep a male separate or i would have done the same. I'm absolutely sure that it is a clone from the same plant and i was very surprised at how fast the male flowers developed. If i were to have kept this rouge male and collected the pollen and then fertilized...

I took 3 clones about 2.5 months ago from the female that i just harvested. The clones have been under light 24/7 for that entire period. I kept them in small pots to root bind them because i was short on space. Anyway, i just brought them into the flower room last week, 2 of them are...
