I no grower so I could be wrong but I can't really see any buds on there so I doubt they're near ready yet.

the shorter days should force them into flowering now, but i don't know exactly where you are, and the climate, light hours, etc for that region...

ireland? fuck me mate! i'm VERY surprised they're still going...do you have a sheltered garden? also, you'll need to harvest them soon, as the first frost will kill them...

I am surprised myself, they are very old now about 14 weeks but they dont seem to stop growing, they have been neglected but i am dying for a smoke.What type are they? They were supposed to be either hollands hope or white rhino i think

they're not one of the 'white' strains, a lot of strains can be turned purple by the colder outdoor temp...

Any way you could move them inside, they don't look like they'll be done soon enough to not be killed by the cold. I think to get them to flower inside you need to put them in 12/12 light, with zero light during the 12 hour dark period.

Good luck.

They are in 12 Hours of Darkness naturally now as it is dark early here.I LOVE THEM!!

Hit up the growing Section.

When they actually have buds on them, check the colour of the trichs on them, when they turn a cloudy slightly amber colour they're ready I think. Oh and get them inside if possible.

Try the growing section though as all of what I've said is stuff which I think I remember reading someone else post, so may or may not be right.

it's going to be a while before they're ripe. if they are quality strains then i'd build a shelter to keep them warm during the frosts. i have one over my haze plants now (recent pics of the frame are in the pic section) and it doesn't take much...in my case i used a 'cabana' frame (tent-type structure for camping/the beach) but any 2 x 4 frame will work, or even take the top off of a table. cover with plastic sheets and voilla...instant greenhouse! (well, sorta kinda instant). it'll cover ya for the lighter freezes as is but if it's dropping below 25-28F, i'd add a space heater too.

but judging by the pics i'd say at least another 2-3 weeks...

What If I took them out of the ground and put them in large pots?If not possible then ill make some diy job and cover them.Just hope weather holds out.

yeah if you try to transport them inside it could do about as much help as a nice cold frost. digging up the roots of plants that large isnt good for them.

give em a trimmin and also a little tip that really helps improve the herb....when its ready to be dried snap the trunk(like main stem) and let the plant lay on the ground for a couple hours, the broken stem is a warning signal to the plants so it shoots all the good stuff to the buds so after a couple hours of laying there hang them up and youll have some nice green

dont type in all caps....but i agree then need to be put inside

10-25-2005, 08:39 PM
sorry to say, but there is no "good stuff" to shoot up to the buds. it doesn't work like that. it's all about the trichomes and about all you'll get with snapping the trunk and laying the plant on the ground is dirty buds that'll need to be cleaned...
