🌼🌼 She's flowering!!! 🌼🌼
✂️ Seems as though placing her in a dark closet for 68 hours last week may have done the trick in getting those flowering hormones to kick in. Just a few pistils here and there. I am just hoping this isn't some sick April Fool's Day joke she doesn't revert and go back to revegging in a few days.

📋 She seems to be wanting to stretch even though I keep stripping her to keep her from getting too tall. More pistils are continuing to develop. Things are looking good!
🚿 This week her feed is being decreased because her tent mates are nearing the finish line. I figure, she can be hungry for a few days until the other 2 finish up. At that point, I will progressively increase the concentration of the nutrient solution to the target range of 1.9 - 2.2 EC until the end of her stretch. Assuming she tolerates the increased feeds well, I will continue to increase her feed as she progresses through bloom to a max EC target range of 2.3-2.5. For the last 5 days I will drop EC target range to 1.5 - 1.9 and follow up with a final flush 1-2 days prior to harvest using a flushing agent and plant enzymes.
@FoTwenny, I have been well, busy and trying to stay safe lol. Super excited to see you back at it again with the white Vans and the green thumbs haha!
Me he quedado asustado por las 68h de oscuridad. Pensaba hacer ese método para acelerar la floración, pero sólo con 36h de oscuridad, ¿Has probado este método antes? Saludos🖐️👨🌾
@FoTwenny, Gracias por la respuesta. Yo probé en la temporada anterior, acelerar la entrada a floración, tuve las plantas 36h a oscuras, después las puse a 13-14h de luz y probé también a alumbrar las plantas con una bombilla (10w) de rojo lejano (730nm), durante la última media hora de luces y la media hora posterior a apagarlas... no noté nada, la floración llegó 2-3 semanas después, lo normal.
Ahora quiero hacer una nueva prueba, voy a mantener las plantas 48h de oscuridad y después pasarlas a un horario estricto 12/12h.
@deFharo, I have not tried in the past but have read about it and decided to try it when a friend recommended it based off their experience. It worked, but I don't think she has the auto gene, she started pushing pistils but after about a week of 21/3 and she went back to veg. I just sent her off to a new home today.
@FoTwenny, I hope that other home is still under your jurisdiction ;))) it's 200 g plant.
I recently had one NL she went into reveg/foxtail mode 3 times in one flowering cycle, previously had girl who didn't want to start flowering. I had that gene already, it's monstrosity gene ;))))
@Inganjawetrust, I mean, I have heard of autoflower seeds that don't autoflower, but to have 2 in one run has been a bummer. The other was from Expert Seeds and was a feminized seed, but when I put her outside... She turned out to be male too.
She's looking nice . I'm planning on popping a few of this strain outside this spring , I'll be curious to see how yours turns out. Best of luck with her.🌱🌿
