-Topped the plants after the 5th nodes within the last week. -I may have unintentionally 'fimmed' some plants, I'm not so sure. -I noticed a little bit of brown tips, probable as a result of nutrient burn, so i stopped giving them the plant food (Phostrogen) I had been using. .

-I'm officially marking week 8 as the official flowering time, although one plant began flowering quite early. -This past week they suffered some leaf damage, either as a result of nutrient burn, excessive wind, or both. So I stopped feeding them.

-I observed something odd recently. I had noticed signs of flowering some weeks ago and thought the plants and entered the flowering stage. -I noticed signs of pistils, some sugar leaves began to form and they began to smell. -Only for me to see new vegetative growth begin to form again, adding extra height to the plants, including the early bird that was far into the flowering stage (red pot).

-I have confirmed that plants have paused their initial flowering phase and returned to vegetative phase. -This may be because the balcony I placed them started receiving some more sunlight some weeks ago.

-The first plant had problems and didn't develop completely, so it died and I managed to salvage some small, fluffy buds. Didn't get much from here. -The second one did better but didn't develop dense buds before it started dying. Got a little more out of it though.

Gl dude. I've grown a lot of plants hey (all outdoor, any time of year). Seen a lot of things. So, first observation, now I dunno your situation or intent or whatever, but I'm gonna say those plants are needing more light (and transplanting), I've seen that sort of stretching enough to know that's a bit much. Personally (though again, dunno your situation), I'd transplant those asap and put them outside or provide more light. When transplanting I'd also shove a good deal of those trunks/stems into the soil (so that it roots).

sir_isOcommented4 years ago
@ekara_en, Yeah, when you transplant them, you can shove pretty much the whole stem (up to an inch or so below the cotyledons) in the soil.
ekara_en
ekara_encommented4 years ago
@sir_isO, Thank you for your observation and comment. I do understand that they need more light than they're currently getting, but I'm constrained by the location. My intention is to grow in pots on the balcony, but unfortunately during this time of the year the Sun swings in the other direction and they get very little (if any) direct sunlight. I will, however, heed your advice and transplant them as soon as possible. Again, thank you for the observation and comment.
