moms & nutes & questions...oh my!!

Hi all,,

Got a new grow started a couple of weeks ago and decided to go with just one strain, Lemon Skunk. We've got 8 plants started. We're using cloth pots, fox farms soil, botanicare nutes, a 450hps and 216w T5 lights, 2X3X72 tent, inline and outtake fans, temp runs about 76-82 with humidity averaging 40..don't think I'm missing anything.

Out of those we've chosen a very healthy mom and that's where our question comes up. We're fairly new to growing and wonder if we should be giving our mom week 1 (15ml/4L) or week 2 (20ml/4L) schedule. Whatever that schedule turns out to be, it's followed throughout for the mom ... yes? Just out of curiosity, how long do you all keep a mom before putting her into flower and starting a new mom?? Will try to get some pics up in the next few days. Thanks for all your help and advice.

I assume you are talking about nutes, if that's the case I would follow the schedule provided by the specific nutrient, without specifics it is hard to say, but as far as moms go, you can keep them in veg as long as you have space for them. Marijuana plants will vegetate indefinitely, if you never put it in a 12/12 cycle it would just continue to grow new shoots, leaves, and stem. Therefore, that's up to you! If you are looking to flower it though, especially in that tent, you might not want to let it get too big.

Have fun + peace.

Keep in mind it isn't uncommon for a plant to double, maybe even triple in height during flowering.
