PIC'S OF BUDDING TIME!

[midniter]

I have 5 plants of alaskin ice growing & also 5 plants of nevberry and 3 ak47, i was wondering why the ak47 has already budding very well at 3 weeks into our flowering season here & yet the big plants are 12 foot high and huge but they only have the white hairs now.I have been feeding them tiger bloom & big bloom for around 6 weeks now and i figured they would all start budding around the sametime.I'm kinda getting worried that the stavia plants are getting to big & could be spotted from the air.I have grown many times but i have never quiet had any get this big before they was finish budding.So is there anything i can do to speed up budding process with another fert or should i just let them go.I notice the ak47 today had hairs already turnning red on them. (I thought i'd put thred back on here so people could see the plants from themselves & see if everything going ok!Sry i was back alitle to far on the tall ones but only way i could get them in the pic lol!

Nice plants guy.:thumbsup: I dont believe there is a thing you can do but wait. Your sure not going to get a trash bag over them babys. Depending on where ya live and the amount of decreasing sun light will be what your looking at. Once there is less sun and more dark, thats when your buds will begin growing. Iv got to locations and the ones thats getting the least amount of sun are budding very nice, however the one getting all the sun is only beging to start to show pre flowers. I dont think there is any nute, or fert that will get your buds growing. The ferts, nutes will make them bigger but not earlier.

You might try to tie a rope to the top and pull em over a bit to hide em. It wont hurt them and if you can catch some shade it might help a bit, but us outdoor grower are at the day/night mercy.

Yea i got 3 plants that get 2 hrs less light than the big ones & they are budding very good ,i was wondering if fishing string is to small to tie them down with?I figured it might cut the plant since it was so small & i don't won't it to cut into the plant.So whats a good kind of string that can't be spoted so easily to tie them down with.Thx for the info!

sounds like your giving bloom nutrient before they start blooming...don't do that ...wait till you see flowers:rastasmoke:

If i were you id use twine. Its brown and will not stick out. If your worried about it cutting into your plant, just put some folded up cloth around where the twine will be. If ya have an old hose, that would be perfect. Just use about 4'' of it and put the twine inside it and bend it around your plant. The twine is pretty strong, but yeah i wouldn't use fishing string, because the sun will hit it at some point and a spectrum of light will show in spots. This would look "un-natural", but the twine will blend in:thumbsup::rasta:

Why do you use tiger and big bloom.Ever try Jack's bloom?:rastasmoke:

Well to be honest i put thread in here at 1st of the year & ask what was the best ferts to use since i had always used the miracle grow & the potash balls,and they said Foxx farms was one of the best.I have't to say by the way they have growed this year they were right,because the feeding schudle i use was the one foxx farm sent & there huge this year.I have some plants that have stalks like small maple trees.I am alitle worried tho they might get seen from above,but a nice lady above left me a thread on what to use to tie them down so i went and got the green ribbon tomatoe tie up & it worked great.I did tho however plunked some of the big fan leaves off!I'm going to feed them 3 more time this year & stick few the potash balls in & i think that wil do it.
