Bear with me friends and tokers:
This is my first ever grow of 3 Money Maker and 1 Delahaze​

Started them outside in 5 gal pots, and when it started getting cooler here in the Northeast a few says ago, I bought a Gorilla 3.3 Grow Tent, and place them within with an LED light I bought on Amazon.

Im on Day 106 - a hair over 6 weeks into flower (Monday will officially start Week 7 of Flower)

Question(s) - What light cycle is best for them during this period? 11/13 ?

Ideal humidity + temp?

How often should I be feeding them now? 2x a week?

...Herbies.com (where I bought the seeds) said they take 8-9 weeks to flower, but I'm in week 6 and they still seem like they have a WAY longer way to go ...they're only now starting to show little crystals

My gut feeling is telling me the Miracle Grow Blooming food I've been giving them needs to stop.
...Im going to start feeding them Bud Candy or Big Bud from A.Nutes.

When my Batteries are charged, I'll take some photos with my CanonSLR

Thanks in advance for any and all insight, advice (and for helping school yet ANOTHER Newb ;)

Hey Jessa
Pay no attention to times given by seed companies. In my experience they can easy go a week or more longer. Perhaps this is when grown in ideal conditions. IDN
Make sure you have a scope look at trichomes.
I used to do this method years ago. My advice is watch out for bugs. There will be loads in the soil and probably caterpillars too. It's kind of late to be using any pesticide. Perhaps others could suggest some that are safe. I do have a pesticide free method. It won't kill anything outright but will stop them feeding because many pests have a soft mouth. Hottest chillies you can get (Cayenne pepper works also) simmer gently in hot water and sieve using coffee filter. Put in spray bottle. Some people add a tiny bit of UNSCENTED dish soap to help it stick. Spray liberally at lights on. You don't mention fans . Make sure you have good airflow for this. You don't want mold. A good investment at this stage is also a Caliber IV hygrometer avail on Amazon or eBay. They are accurate and reliable. You will need it when you're drying.
Hope I've been some help- my door is always open

I haven't had any pest problems at all, I checked them carefully all the time they were outside, and
now that they are in the Grow Tent they are safe, i'd say. Haven't seen anything as much as fly around in there ;)

I dont like to spray plants with lights on. IMO. U risking of getting leaves burn from the lights heating the water in the leaves. They canget crispy and dry to the touch. I will do it at lights off. But thats just my style and preference. IMO. GOOD LUCK!! post results!!! Toke on ====~~

40-50 percent humidity should be fine for flower. Temps 70-85. What is the NPK ratio of your miracle grow? Peters 20-20-20 is a great all purpose fertilizer, personally I'm turned off by the marketing of cannabis specific products, they are a great way to drain your bank account. What does your growing medium consist of.

Also there's a guy who runs his canopy at 92 on here and does very well I think 70-85 is just a generally accepted range.

Find what works best for you and your plants and stick to it. Good luck.

I think after I pump some advanced nutes into them ( I've ordered Bud Candy and Big Bud) they will get back on track and plump up. The colas on top look pretty damned good for my first ever grow. They're just lacking something. We will see what happens after I start the A.Nutes

The most important thing going into flower is that you have a plant with a well developed leaf and root system. Without them, you will have weak buds! Also feed straight up until you chop, and don't flush because it isn't necessary. Flushing 1-2 weeks from harvest merely removes critical nutrients from the medium, which are essential for growth and plant maintenance. This is a time when buds typically pack on weight, so why deprive them of what they need?

So, Im starting seedlings in my grow tent - having never started plants in a tent before could someone tell me:
1. How much light can I give them a day
2. What Advanced Nutrients are good for this stage

...as for my 4 plants previously ...lets just say I got some BAAAD advice on here. As a result they all R.I.P ...some jackass told me i could remove the fan leaves ...and the rest is NOOB history.

So, starting over! Onward and upward, I learned allot from the experience so I feel like I have a better foundation this time around.
This time I germinated and just planted yesterday 2 Afghanis - any insights on this strain?

...I'll just be sitting here in the corner with my cone shaped DUNCE hat with the weed leaf on it

For seedlings you can give them up to 24/0, I prefer 20/4. What LED are you running? You can also try 12/1 aka gas lantern routine (12 on, 5.5 off, 1.5 on, 5 off), which saves power and promotes tighter internodal spacing, which you want.

Did the same defoliation thing in flower last grow, didn't work so well but the plant still produced. The only thing that should be trimmed in late veg is the sucker shoots near the bottom of the plant which are weak and won't produce much, and any dead/dying leaves. Leaving the rest of the plant alone, those leaves and roots are what produce buds.

Have you considered that the AN nutes you were using may have harmed your plants? For veg and flower this is all you need, don't believe the nutrient line hype!

Also cal-mag comes in handy.

I suggest you read a few books on basic cannabis botany/horticulture, doing your homework will save a lot of heartache!
