Day 15-Day 21
Day 21: I am ready to cut this down and start over with some plants I have in veg. The video is of today and I think the buds being nonexistent at day 21 of 8-10 week strains is a bad sign and shouldnt waste my time and money trying to nurse it into something. I have 2-4 20” plants taken for clone practice from these plants. I could easily have a 10-12 plant sog. If you’re reading this please weigh in honestly if you think this is a waste of time to finish flowering. It’s incredibly discouraging to not have a clue what is wrong, but by this time there should be more than what there is. I have the light at 50%, at about 42” above the canopy. All I know is I’m 10/10 pissed off.
I also gave a Pk booster at one pinch per gallon
Wait one more week. Certain genetics wake up around week4-5 and then catch up super quick. My green gelato showed just stretch and some pistols until week4-5 and then budded and at week 9-10 I harvested. Just because a seed company tells you it’s between 8-10 weeks doesn’t mean it’s just that. So don’t waste all the work and time by tossing them away.
@SAC87, Good luck !! Hope everything turns out well.
@DankBudz, thanks for the response. I’m going to leave it for now. I had a chat with @Mrs_Larimer and got some advice. We’ll see what the next couple weeks brings.
@MaryJaneUSA, Yep, I'm at 3 weeks on my gorilla zkittlez and buds are much smaller than the other strains. But I have every bit of faith it's going to be just as heavy as the other ladies.
Maybe even heavier ! Would NEVER toss away flowers with 7 weeks left personally.
Crazy shit can happen with these plants in a short period of time.
Good luck SAC87 ! Hope shit works out for ya!
Iam so sorry thst you are pissed. I opened the pictures and thought wow, what a nice grow. Ive been watching your video , and i can see preflowers...... is it possible that the tmps are above the 28 degreee=?
and yes its like mmjd said some strains need longer toshow flowers.... and need longer to be ready..... well i wont cut the whole bunch down, ad start with clones who may have the same genetics...... iam quie sure in 2 weeks you will have some nice flowers.
and last question are they a little yellow or is it the light=? if they are i would up the nitrogen a little because they need it atm... and until finishing the stretch
@SAC87, ok... i would say stick with the calnesium the hole time( in flower too) and for the next 2 weeks add some nitrogen too... they will need it... and i would guess they are 7-10 days slower than "regular".. but what is regular.......... ive seen classic sativa strains flowering a looooong time.... altogehters it a beautiful grow.. very well done.. and i like your nutrient handling.....happy flowering time... greetings
@MaryJaneUSA, ya from past strains it seems the flowering time is a general rule. Have you found that longer strains take longer to transition to flower? @Mrs_Larimar, ya the temps got up to 85 and more a couple times I’ve found til I found out one of my timers was not working right, but only a short time til the fans came on then would be around 77.
The “end of day” pictures are lights off, so if you’re talking about yellowing in those I can add more nitrogen. I do find this bulb looks quite yellow as it’s dimmed to 50%.
If you could look at those and tell me why you think about the nitrogen.
If I have stunted with heat how how far behind would you say I am?
Thank you for the help.
