If in Flower stage... For how long? 24 days
Indoor or outdoor? Indoor (in 4x2x5 tent in garage)
Soil or Hydro? Soil (Fox Farm)

RH of Room/cab? 50-60% But it varies according to the weather
PH of media or res? Good question

Greetings all, I recently retired and needed a hobby. I found some seeds in a bag and my journey began. I germinated a bunch of random seeds, all germinated successfully. I had multiple seeds in some pots and in the end had 8 plants I think. Very shortly after starting those I purchased some White Widow seeds and got them started. My germination experience with the WW was kinda crappy, I lost half of 10. I was too inexperienced to germinate reliably. I'm much better now.
Im glad I purchased a bunch of WW so the learning curve didnt put me out of business. While the no-name X seeds were distributed amongst terra cotta pots of various sizes I planted the WW in 3 Gallon cloth pots filled with FF Ocean Forest mixed with perlite at 5:1 more or less.
So I was off to the races!
I began a regimen of feeding General Hydroponics Floranova Grow with the young plants. As these were small plants sitting in huge containers I worried about over-watering and so I began to use a turkey baster. I have to admit that 3 weeks into flower now I still use a turkey baster.
I dont follow the rules of runoff or really probably any other watering rule. I do allow for dry periods but because I dont use much water to begin with they dont take long to dry out. I know its crazy but its the method that I came by naturally (with zero research) and it seems to work fine.
After 5 weeks of veg I imposed a 24 hour dark period followed by 12/12 light and nutes in PH adjusted water with 15cc GH Flower and 60ml Kelp. I fed them twice within four days and by the week there was no doubt they had changed to flower.
My research didnt keep up with the pace of the plants. GH produces 3 basic nutes in the line I was using but I didnt realize early on and so I wasnt using GH FloraMicro in veg. It wasnt until my 3rd feeding in Flower that I included GH Micro. I also introduced CalMag.
This was 12 days ago which was 12 days into Flower.
My feeding schedule has been:
4/30 WW sprouted, potted 5/1
5/19 topped
GH Grow for veg duration
6/10 Started prep for change to flower with 24 hour dark
6/13 started feeding GH Bloom in PH adjusted distilled water.
1st mix: 15cc Bloom, 60 cc Kelp x2 feedings on 2 different days to finish gallon jug
2nd: 15cc Bloom, 30cc Kelp, 5cc CalMag, 1 tsp Molasses
2nd half of 2nd I added 5cc Micro, 5cc Grow
Next day PH adjusted water with 5cc Fish emulsion (1 1/2c per plant)
Added GH Micro (supposed to have been feeding all along but didn’t know)
3rd: 15cc Bloom, 10cc Micro, 4cc CalMag, 1 tsp Molasses (started giving 2c at this feeding, the plants are hungry and thirsty) (Prior to this the most I would give any plant was 1 ½ c water/nutes)
64th day from being potted 22 from start of flowering.
4th (7-6-19) 15cc Bloom, 10cc Micro, 4cc CalMag
Ill post another pic in the not too distant future.
