Thanks for the explanations. I've changed the light schedule. Now they get light between 8 p.m and 8 a.m. That way I'll stick to the time schedule more easily.
Some photos...
Just finished 8th week of flowering and they've fatten up especially in the last week.
I took some shots of lower buds today to capture the trichs. Can you help me interpret them if possible?
It's kinda hard to tell from pics, but they still look 'sparkly' meaning that there is a significant % still clear, so give them some more time. I'll guess you have 1-2 weeks yet for full ripeness.
Thanks @stinkyattic
I've been giving them pure water for about 15 days. A friend of mine told me that the plant would use its stored nutrients located in those green leaves. Should I give any nutrients in the next watering? Or continue what I have been doing and give them water only...
This close to harvest, just water or water with some molasses in it is fine. You started flushing a little too early- now that you know how long this plant takes in your specific grow setup, you can time it better next time. Flush should be no more than the last 2 weeks. Your plants look great though.
I guess there's something wrong with my plants. They are close to 10 weeks flowering and still not ready. Maybe these signs the leaves have been showing have to do with slow bud formation?
I'd appreciate any help on what to do...
Your leaves are a pretty dark green.. what is the NPK on your bloom fertilizer? Forgive me if this was already mentioned. Having high amounts of Nitrogen in flowering can delay the speed at which the plant produces flowers. If that's not it, then you've probably just got yourself a slow blooming strain. Some of them require loads of nail-biting patience! :jointsmile:
I haven't given them any nutes for more than three weeks.
What are those brown spots on the leaves? Especially near top of the plant... I've just lifted up the hps, in case it's heat stress.
It's probably a problem (or problems) with deficient nutrients from lack of fertilizers. I know you weren't thinking it would have taken this long, but they definitely should have been getting more Phosphorus and Potassium over the past three weeks. It's up to you whether or not to give another bloom feeding... I probably wouldn't since you're this close to harvest, and you don't want to leave the buds tasting like chemicals. If your pH is in a good range, you might think about throwing in some blackstrap molasses. About a tablespoon or two per gallon will do just fine. The plants really seem to tolerate and actually enjoy these feedings right up until the chop.
