The Case of the Overdosing Indica: Act I - Week 3, The Breakout Dame (and a Sticky Situation)
The dame surprised me. Shot up like a scared rookie in a liquor store holdup. Pushed right through the top of that plastic cone, like a magician escaping a cheap trick. Gave her some room to breathe, let her finally spread those green wings. Responded like a champ, doubled in size practically overnight. Shows she's got some fight in her after all.
Just when I thought things were smoothing out, I spot a new player in the game. A spider, fat and sassy, spun a web between Auto Overdose and the dame next door, Tequila Sunrise. Looks like they're getting tangled up already. More trouble on the horizon, or a twisted kind of protection?
This case just keeps getting stranger.
Stay tuned, folks, Act II promises to be a tangled web indeed.
Week 10: No flower (see pics).
Growth is great – shot up 20cm this week!
But still no sign of flowering. Starting to think this "auto" label is unreliable.
Can I do anything to force flower?
Limitation:
- outdoor grow
- weekend visits only
- no indoor irrigation
Hello SubliminalSociety,
Your plant is pre flowering already. She will start showing her white pistils and bud forming soon.
And no there is nothing you can do to trigger the flowering phase. The only thing you can do is making sure that the plant does get 12 hours darkness in a tent for example.
But I would say, let it go, let it grow, you are doing great so far!
Happy Growing! 💚
You can always force flowering by putting her in the dark for 12 hours a night for a couple of weeks to initiate flowering. That might be better than waiting, depending on your latitude, and how your investigation is going. Good luck.
@Northern_Ent, Interesting. I have nothing with complete darkness but could put her in the garage for two days while I'm there. Yeah, autumn tends to get very wet, so I was baking on my autos to deliver by mid-August. I'll give it a go. Thank you!!
Congrats on the successful germination 🌲 hope the rest of your grow is trouble free. I’m sure as soon as she is used to her new home she will explode into growth 💪
