Transplanted to bigger container as i thought this little 3l is way too small. Now using 10l white bin with drain holes. Also a little slowed growth due to shock

Took off all the fan leaves that where coming off the main stem to let side branches get more lighting. Really bushy with short node spacing.

More fan leaf pruning to let the in for the lower side stems. Smells a little at thus point but not noticeable outside the cupboard. Mixed in 2 tbsp of used coffee grounds with a litre of water to lower ph and increase N

Happy end of week 5. She is really bushing out nicely with tight nodes on the stem, branches and barely any stretching. You cant even get a look at the insideas she's soo dence. I was however hoping to see some pistols by now but still nothing. Lets see what happens in week 6.

Hey there, your plant looks great, good leaf and plant structure. So its just a matter of time...being patient has been my biggest battle. Out of my 3 grows this summer, not a single one went with the breeders time projections. But also every plant is different even with same seeds you'll see varying time frames. If you're at 6 weeks i think you should begin seeing the wispy hairs at least and then slowly more and more pistils will appear. Good luck with the grow, it seems to be doing great so far, so just keep making her happy, try not adding anymore stresses and it'll happen in its own time. ✌️

Hello ! She's on her way , the 1st pistils should appear soon don't worry. Like others told you , stop defoliating , your plant is trying to recover each time and makes the veg longer , instead of cutting your leaves you can try to knit them together , it is a bit more tricky as you will have to do it serval tie in a week but it will not stress your plant. I hope it will help you 😁👍

Hi @420SirSmokeAlot! Some strains take longer, especially if you did some manipulations such as LST or defoliation. Each time you tuck some leaves or bend a stem, you slow down the growth (plant needs a few days to recover). Moreover, it looks like this plant is suffering from heat (leave are curling upward), you may need to increase your plant<--->light distance, or reinforce your global airflow. Preflowers should be coming soon, patience is the key 😀. If nothing happens in the next 3 weeks, you may consider flipping to 12/12 light schedule, to trigger flowering. Hope this will help, keep us up-to-date and happy growing 👊

WE HAVE A LADY well she is femanised but finally after a unusually long veg she decided to throw out some pistols. So i cant really get any good nutes where i am so i had to get a generic flower garden mix nutes which has all sorts of stuff including NPK but it dosent tell me the ratio of each element 🤔 i used 5ml per 500ml water. I also gave 2 tblsp of used coffee grounds with half a little of water for the nitrogen as the leaves looked yellow and its worked quite well, im not worried about the ph of the coffee grounds because my tap water is basic af at around 8.5 so it brings it down a little. I will be using honey later in flower as a booster. Bring on week 8.✌️

A little late on the update but this week has been cool. Little nugs are getting a little bigger this week with only half an inch hight growth which is nice. All the branches are about the same hight as the main cola so the defoliation definitely payed of. Noticed some yellowing on the main colas leaves so fed an extra strong dose of generic garden nutes hope that makes them more greener.any tips on that would be great. Can't wait for next week's update

3 weeks in to flower and she doesn't look too bad but i noticed alot of yellowing so i have a dose of veg nutrients (see last picture) alot of leaves dryed up and fell off and the ones on the top are yellowing between the vains and some purple on the branch is that normal because i read that's what happens when growing with leds. Starting to smell great but still not stong enough to worry about and slightly frosty looking which is cool. Bring on week 10...i think...i forgot
