Chefy so you swap the heavy 16 to v&b when you switch to flower then? Thanks I'll definitely look into those question for anyone my res usually sits around 72 degrees the h2o2 kills bacteria so I don't worry so much about root rot I water to run off waste rather than recycling is my temp's of my res important to keep at around 68 even when watering to run off or would I not need to worry so much I haven't wanted to remove the h2o2 because I was worried my res temps were a little to high and didn't wanna risk rot. And Mikell thanks for the insight they definitely got a little too dried out when I started I didn't step up my feeding in time so that makes sense and it hasn't spread or been on any others so there is a good chance that's what happened I check ph regularly usually 5.8 to 6.0 swing in my nute mix so must just of been the dry spell when they was a bit younger thank you for the help always appreciated. (Just the tip) haha

72 is fine for DTW. and yes, I switch about a week after turning the lights back.

How cold is too cold for a rez when running coco DTW?
Mine is sitting about 62-65.
Just want to know if I need a heater in there.

68-72 is ideal, although my res is often in that lower region without major problems. It's not as critical in coco as DWC or other more traditional hydroponic methods as the root zone will warm back up after feeding relatively quickly.

Awesome thanks for the insight much appreciated

Day 40.

Looking great. Given their size gain in the last few days you might want to flip soon. If you have even somewhat stretchy or girthy ladies, no problem in filling that canopy by the time they end up at their final canopy size after stretch

Thanks yea I plan on switching soon just not sure how soon I have heard wait till all vertical growth stops to switch them over is that accurate or is there and easier way to tell when to switch? they have been exploding though the last few days for sure

Huh? Vertical won't stop till half way through flower. expect them to finish anywhere from 150% to 200% of their height at flip.

That's just what I have been told was to wait till vertical growth stops I wasn't sure. So what is a good way to tell when it's time to flip then?
