When to initiate flowering?
meangreenmachinestarted grow question 4y ago
Currently all three of my plants are around 14” and are almost completely filling up their area. But the height is not quite a level table and I was wondering when I should initiate flowering.

If you can't hang your light higher than your pictures show, I would say right now. They will still stretch to some degree and when you force them to flower now, you won't have issues with them growing all the way up to the light.

They will stretch in flower! Expect 6-12 inches of height. I’m guessing your humidity is low because of the squat-ness in veg

Now would be a good time, they will still double in size, maybe even more.

I would flower soon to stop them from wanting to grow up to or past your lights. Good luck and happy growing

How close to harvest?This is my fourth grow and every time I'm doubting myself when I should chop her down.Can I get your opinions? All microscopic pics are on the buds and not the sugar leaves. To me it looks like I'm close, about a week? If I'm off a lot in my time can you explain why? Many thanks!2y ago

Just stunted? Or will I lose whole grow?5 weeks into flower, 3 to go.
Autoflower grown in soil.
Kept in outside shed, with 400w HPS and electric heater.
Struggling to keep temps up above 10°c. It's not killing it, but perhaps stunting growth. A hardy strain.
Will it still convert THC or am I risking losing whole plant?4y ago

Just being cautious. I had a friend visit today. Long story short, before visiting me she went to a nursery notorious for spider mites. I did not know thisHow much should I be worried? She did not touch any plants directly. I cannot be certain that she had any mites on her. I am just being cautious. What is the best course of action? If my current flowering plants get mites, can I wash the mites off and still use the flowers3y ago

Trichomes and lifespanI’m not good at getting good trichome-shots of her - I really need a non-phone-relying microscope.
This is amber trichomes right? I honestly don’t know if it’s from the bud or the sugar leaves...
