When the plants have rooted into the slab and the first side branches
have begun to develop, you change the lamp over to the flowering scheme.
e.g. 12 hours of darkness per day.
You can now give them frequent watering periods.
One watering period every two hours, when the light is on, is optimal.
Ensure you provide for enough drainage water. This must be approx. 15%
of the total water per watering period. This is easy enough to check by
every now and then measuring the drain water of one tray in a measuring
jug. (from one watering period) |
