Getting ready for my first flip!

Would love to hear some of your methods for flipping.  I've got 5 raspberry cough in soil.

Really leaning towards the 36 HR dark treatment before going to 12/12.  

Do you recommend a flush before going dark, or just switch from grow nutes to flower?

 

I've incorporated epsom salt and use cal mag for each watering, nuts have been applied once a week.

 

Thanks for any help!

    • First congrats on the flip sarge very exciting to know what's just around the corner. I like the shape of each of your plants they are growing quickly. I like to do a trim before flip then after the stretch I will lollipop them. The color as mentioned looks to me like they are hungry. What it looks like to me is not enough nitrogen because the whole plant is consistent with that light green color. 

      You said 1/2 strength with nutes I think is a good place to be especially with a sativa dominant plant, but how are you feeding every time you water? I like the water feed water water feed method. The problem now is your looking to flip, and the plant should be as healthy as can be before so. Your needing to decrease your nitrogen at this point so if it were my grow I would up cal mag to 10ml per gal wait 2 weeks then flip then you can use up what is left in soil while uping the mag then hit it with bloom nute cocktail 1 or 2 feedings before flip. Others will offer there opinion as well that's just mine. Are you given the roots anything, maybe think about some molasses too

      •  You mention Sativa dominance. Sativas lean toward the lime green side. So, lighting dependent, they may not be so far off. My RCs never got very dark green.

        Still agree with your recos, just wanted to mention that, since you brought up color.

        Definitely take care of those roots!!  I use Azos n Mykos once a month, in both rooms.

          • they look very healthy. RbtAsq mentions Sativas being on the lighter side. to me they look quite healthy. one thing about calmags is theyre all different. i  now use one with a heavier nitrogen percentage; (4-0-0) for vegetation and i have another for flower with  (1-0-0). its just something im trying. youre doing wonderfully!!

            • Thank you guys for the great info!!!  

               

              My feed method is alternate feeding nutes w cal mag, then water w cal mag.  I need to get some root azos and mykos going

                • Agree, would fix that before flip, they look hungry.
