Plant growth seems stunted. Bought a PPM meter and discovered my tap water is close to 800ppm which is about the limit for this stage of growth. With the light nutrient solution I had mixed it was about 1,100ppm. Did a light flush with spring water(300ppm). Made a new solution using RO water(60ppm) and with nutrients we are at 650ppm. Going to see how things go from here. Experience is a great teacher.
Nice plant! I can relate with the auto/photo confusion. Same thing happened to me, I ordered some autos for my first ever grow... and they weren't autos. They were growing for about 4 months (4 months of "oo! Maybe it's starting to flower now") until I finally decided to flip the lights. If it happened now, I'd know exactly what was happening, but for the first grow? I though the same as you. At least you got an absolute BANGER of a plant out of it though. Looks fkin awesome!
@Stelfboy, Thanks man. Now if something like that happens in the future we know what to do! I've been growing Fastbud seeds lately and really like what I've seen. Growing does not feel like work and is really enjoyable. My grow area is my place of zen.
@Libanese, That was my lack of experience. I thought since I started seeing the lady parts showing on the stems that was the sign of flowering starting. Adding to the confusion these were sold as 'Autoflowers' which they were not.
@XLABX, Yeah they are insanely tall. At this point I'm just hoping the one in the back does not grow any taller since the light is nearly maxed out in height.
Beautiful jungle! 💚 Sad to hear flowering didn't trigger on these genetics yet.
How did they respond to the 12 hour light switch? Maybe 24 hours darkness needed to force?
@XLABX, 12 hour has been going on for about a week. From what I've read it takes around 3 or 4 weeks or so to see the flowers. I will keep my journal updated but nothing special seems to be happening at the moment.
Breadcrumbs, duct tape, Cheezits, bungie zip, flex tube, box with more duct tape.... Now I'm hooked! Let me grab some 🍿
Beautiful turnaround with these ladies, I love what I am seeing 💚
