Hello,
I hope I’m posting this in the right place, please bare with me I’ve been using this site through my grow but this is my first time posting. So right now I am about in week 8 of veg. I am doing a photoperiod fruity pebbles OG, that I’ve topped, lollipopped and pruned over time. I FINALLY bit the bullet and upgraded my light set up from a set of T5’s in combo with a 150w LED, and realized about 2 weeks ago I needed them closer or better yet a new light. Ended up getting the Mars Hydro TS3000 and absolutely love it and is night and day compared to my old set up (not here to sell a product,) and I think subbing in the new light caused such an uptick in light, I noticed a preflowers or two growing near the main colas. I was going to introduce the more powerful light over a few days as read online to not shock the plant and flip to flower this week anyway, but guess it decided it was time. I have switched from 18/6 to 12/12, and two days later I’m seeing major growth stretching and new potential bud sites opening.
My question is seeing at the new light is being started at 75% dimmed to make sure it adjusts well (right now she seems thrilled,) but I worry about transitioning the nutrients at the same time and it being a lot of change at once. I am using general hydroponics liquid nutrients and have been using the same week 4 veg to feed and keep it growing healthy, and I know the nutrients recommend switching from less grow and evening out the grow, bloom, and micro all at 7.5ml per gallon to help transition the flower stretch. I am running a 5gallon bucket DWC. Should I just keep bumping the light up and switch the nuits to what GH recommends, or lower the nutrients as I transition it since it’s been on a consistent schedule for a while?
Sorry if I left out any info and again please hope I posted to the right place. And pointers or tips anyone can recommend would be greatly approached.
Thanks all
