Do pre-flowers mean slower growth
MaryJones
started grow question 6y ago
My plant has started showing it's first few pistils (white hairs) in veg. Does this correlate with a decreased growth rate?

Hi there! No, I don't think that the pistil showing should slow down the growth at all and actually at the first stages of flowering the stretch will begin and she starts to grow even faster!

During the initial swap from veg to flower it will slow. But as shag said only briefly and then goes into the stretch stage.

How much yield from this setup?
As a first grow I chose to have 2 different Auto Strains from Fastbuds and opted for a Sativa and Indica ... maybe it’s a mistake or maybe not, however do you think I can grow both successfully in a 60x60 tent and how much should I expect to yield with this setup?

Are these males?
Are these clones turned male? I cannot tell. They are clones from nice well established mom. They are, and have been very weak and not really doing much for weeks as I've paid much more attention to mom. Should I ax these? Don't have seed room.

Temperature too High, Can’t bring down.
This is my first indoor grow and I’m having problems keeping the temp down from the higher 80’s while I have my light on, and I’m just barely hitting 79 when it’s off. Starting to get concerned as my seeds are just beginning to sprout and i don’t want them to endure any stress.

Almost done? What do you guys think? How much longer should I let them go?
Today marks day 80 since they sprouted and day 53 of flower. Thinking about chopping in a day or two and wanted to see what some of you guys thought. Will they thicken up more if I give them another week or two? Do the trichs look almost ready?

When should I harvest?
Hey, what do you guys think? How long should I wait before the harvest? It already looks good to me I have seen that other growers have taken longer with this strain, but my plant is much further developed in week 11 than in the other diaries

Flush ppm question
I am in the flush phase of my first grow. I never tested run off during growth. The first flush run off measured 3500 ppm. I then ran about 11 liters of water through my 3 gallon fabric pot and I can’t seem to get my ppm lower than 1450? Any suggestions?

Hello again, in my previous question they told me to throw away the plant? It is true that I have a closet next to it with plants in 4 weeks of flowering. But couldn't you remove the affected leaves and spray mushroom insecticide?

Transplanting time
I am thinking about moving her from this 4l pot to a 11l pot. I know i can't change the pot during the flowering, but there is a correct timing to do that? Is now the right time? She is an autoflower with 22 days of life, thanks!

Week counts
Would anyone else like to see growdiaries start showing instead of 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks, and so on, show as 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and so on. The way it looks now, as you enter the 2nd or 3rd week it seems like that week is already done.

When could I start to harvest?
When do you guys think I could start harvesting? I’m in week 9 of a Fast Eddy CBD grow. This strain only had 9% THC so I didn’t know if this would mean the trichomes don’t go as milky.

opinion on bud maturity ?
About 6 weeks since flip from flower and wanted to know if the orange/browning of the white pistils means that the bud has already reached its max size and will only ripen ,but bud sizes look pretty small to me does this mean yield will be low ? or am i just overthinking.
