Is my plant ready ? Black stems or dark grey a sign of what ?

Hey this is a follow up, my oldest girl which might be OG has been above surface since Feb 2 and took aawhile to kind of get this big which is roughly a ft. Since this is my.first grow im a newbie and Idk if my plant is or isn't ready to flower. I've switched the 18-6 to 12-12 for her going on about 3 days. I was wondering if maybe I'm flipping too early or it's the right time. And how should I be feeding her now seeing as tho I might change the schedule permanently if you guys think so. Also I've changed the humidity down to 55 ish since the change it used to range from 58-70 .
Now about the stems, they seem thick and healthy but my plant seems studded while the others are growing a bit faster, the short odd colored stems on this little lady aren't growing up or much wide. And I want a diagnosis on the rest of my plants. I've recently fed them and am going the route of feeding every other watering. I have them under 100% as of today under the 600W MH light. I would really appreciate some love and help.

Why did you flower those plants? Are you trying to just grow a couple grams of pot?

They look generally healthy and growing, however like 90% of pictures you see of plants online, they need magnesium.

https://www.icmag.com/ic/attachment....6&d=1522839074

The deep green leaves, the serrated leaf edges being affected, and the middle leaves being the most affected, moving to the top; the purple stems on the leaf, they all confirm a need for more magnesium.

Magnesium helps photosynthesis, and is involved in phototropism.

Other than that, the plants look great.

Negative, only the big one was going to be flowered but most likely it hasn't been a long enough drift to where it'll change to flowering. The others are vegging and in about a month or 5-6 weeks could be ready for flower I think

Okay so the magnesium which can be found in ? Because I have the fox farm nutes, at least the beginner 3 and I also have ... wait I use cal mag ? Maybe it's how long it took to use it

They are looking pretty good for your first time.... like others said I'd veg them out for a bit longer..

Do you plan on transplanting into a bigger pot when flowering?

How much space are you working with?

Are you feeding them full strength with the fox farm?

Big Bloom is your plant fixing elixer... in the directions it says to use 2 tablespoons of big bloom if your plants are stressed out... ( read the bottle to make sure, I'm going on memory)

Feeding with Fox farms I usually cut back on the Grow Big a little bit... like if its calling for 2 teaspoons I'll give 1 teaspoon, or if there's some yellowing maybe 1 and a half teaspoons...
Same deal with the Tiger Bloom....

But always full strength with the big bloom

Kieserite, (Maerl) magnesium lime, however epsom salt is the most easily available, and can also be applied as a foliar spray.

It also has sulfur in it, which is good for resin production. The sulfur will bring down the pH if you use it as a drench too often.

It is always best to apply a mild combination of solid soil nutrients and liquid nutrients to get a slow acting and fast acting effect.

Well I don't want to flower all of them, I wanted to flower the bigger one. I guess it just makes sense to veg that one longer with them. The bigger plant was above ground on Feb 2nd and the others all were planted in early march except the smallest one. She was planted on the 16th. I feed them 1/3 of the strength it says and that's every other feeding with 4 1/2 ml of cal mag . Im working with a 32x32x63 and u plan on transplantingthe other 5 into 3 Gallon pots like the bigger female. Do you think that'll last ? I believe She's shown her sex I believe I have to double check tho.
