Is there still more vertical growth to come?
Is there still more vertical growth to come? I’ve switched to flower a couple weeks ago and it looks like my tops are starting to bud or is it just more nodes coming in with lots of female hairs??

Seedling is in its 2nd week of veg, using Promix BX, new growth is great but stem seems a bit weak. Not stretchy just weak. Wondering when to start nutes as soil is supposed to have no nutritional value as is. Can't seem to find a clear answer.

Will she get fatter?
Will the buds fatten up more or is this as thick as she’ll get? Perfectly content, just don’t wanna chop her too soon if there’s some time by the end of her life where the buds blow up. 😇 In week 11 flower - strain is supposed to be 9-10 weeks flower. Trichs not amber yet.

Flowering stage
Hi there, It is now 9 days after the light changeover and there are still no signs of flowering, no pistils, none at all. I am now wondering if it is normal for it to take so long ?!

Autoflowering times
how can i make sure my plant doesn't grow too slowly to be an autoflowering? I ask this because I see from the other diaries that after a week more than two leaves generally appear and become very large, unlike mine

Deficiency help
What deficiencies are these? I’ve flushed her, ph’ed her water and I’m giving her a good amount of nutrients - no nitrogen for the past two weeks I think. Is this just an age thing? I don’t need her to look perfect before harvest, but I’m afraid it’s affecting the bud maturity.

The humidity in the air is on average 40% in the room where the tent is located. In the tent the humidity can drop to 30%. I add 2 soaked wipes which bring me to 50% humidity. Do you have any other tips for increasing the humidity of the tent?

Keeping smells down
So how do you keep smells down? I'm getting ready to plastic the basement windows and there is only smells in the basement but if your in my driveway you can definitely catch a wiff if the wind blows the right way. It may be legal but there's no reason to draw attention either.
