Questions about after starting 12/12 cycle

Hello. I am growing BigBud strain in coco coir with ebb & flow 2x4 tray with Canna nutes for coco plus Cal/Mag 5ml per gal. I scrogged my plants and am wondering how long and tall I should expect them to get before seeing flowers start? Also, does anyone have a full proof way to get iron into them? They seem deficient for iron. I have been keeping ph at 5.8 (it raises each day to about 6.0 and every morning I put a little ph down in to bring it back). I don't know why they would be iron deficient.

Its ok to let the PH swing in small incriments some plants cant take nutes in certain PHs so a small swing is OK. As for the height of your plants there are too many factors your system is always gonna be different from the next 2-3 weeks is a good stretch time then u should start seeing the begining of the flower cycle. Good Luck! U have a nice crop there.

I don't do hydro but I'm a firm believer in natural water sources. I fill 5gal. jugs with lake water. You get all the natural micro life and mineral nutrients plants need to thrive. Maybe could try one flushing cycle every 3 days. Of course check ph first to make sure it's not to alkaline. Just a thought. I only use Alaskan Brand fish emulsions and lake water. After a 2 month cure the flavor and smell is unreal. Peace

Thanks for the advice. I guess I'll stop stressing the small ph swings. Using Botanicaire Cal/Mag already. Perhaps it will take more time than I have given it to show recovery. Thanks again, your response is much appreciated.
 
BTW Them plants look great to me. How many plants u got there? Shit i think i might have to run an ebb an flow coco set up LOL
