Flowering with hairs BUT NO THC

[JerzeeAmbeez]

I have 2 females about 4 1/2 weeks into flowering (12/12)
Both are healthy and showing decent size buds covered with white and amber hairs BUT NO THC
Both have a very light fruity smell with no real sight of resin
I don't know what strain they are but... I'm wondering if I have done something wrong, I have been trying to increase the THC but using sugar water and nutes but it doesn't seem to work
I need some advice on what to do?
*Maybe increase my dark period, Add more nutes,Flush it(if its a lock out), or just time... cause if they are mostly sativa should I just wait... The THC that are on them now looks like they are fading away*

They look like they are doing fine. Just way too early yet. Probably another 2 more months.
What kind of lights are you using?

Patience, Grasshopper.

If you want advice on your nutes, tell us what you are using now. There are nutes you can use to increase bud size.

And do put some more light on that poor girl - you're on the path to air buds.

PC :smokin:

At 4 1/2 weeks, they should be bigger than that. Are you using HID lights? If not, there's your problem.

Saying 'no THC' is kinda odd. I think what you mean is no visible trichomes. I've seen that on lines with very weak genetics... the plants that after they finish get tossed in my hash scraps pile. Some strains don't really get a frosty appearance. They can still mess you up but good though. Wait until you get the smoke test done to say it was a failure.
Your soil looks soggy btw... I think you don't have enough drainage.

I use 2 70W hps,100w hps, 2 150w CFL, 3 100W CFL
I've been using bone meal 4-12-0, garden lime,triple phosphate 0-46-0,Schultz plant food 10-15-10,miracle grow... a bunch of different stuff out of grandma garden, but I dilute it with water a lot of water my ph level is 6.6, I just watered them that day(lol)
I was hoping it was just cause it kinda early or a long flowering sativa but I don't think so... This strain does seem to suck a lil bit tho my other 2 ladies are covered with "trichomes" the smell is incredible! Like skunky fruit
But I'll just wait till I smoke some - darn I try increasing the dark period
Thank you ALL! Stinkyattic,Dejay,Pharma,killer weed,
I just hope for more "trichomes" and a good high
Peace, Love, and Happiness

Can nute burn decrease THC or the "trichomes"? and will using bong water hurt my plant? I use bong water for increasing my ph level, in my water ph tester its off the scale its royal blue10.0+ .... I don't think it hurts but I WANT TO MAKE SURE

[stinkyattic]

Don't use bong water. Use pH up/down. And you've got lime in there so you shouldn't have a problem.
You WILL need to flush that plant though. It's scorchy. Take the drip tray off that pot and slowly pour about 2 gallons of pH 6.7 water through the soil.
That's quite the fertilizer cocktail...

[JerzeeAmbeez]

Yeah Stinky, I just started flushing them about 1 day ago(the wet soil pic of girl1).... they had a lil burn... I thought that was a bad idea with the bong water(burnt weed water) but my friend convice me to do it, but it was just a few tbs with a lotta water...
LOL, I took the drip trays off from last time...remember the dreadful spider mites...lol
I've f* up growing so much when I was younger that if I put my mind to it, I can tell what I did wrong or what the plant needs from love and feeling...
Before it becomes a real problem(the spider mites last time killed me tho) But I'm always up for different "crazy" new ideas just to see "what happens"
We are all chemist...
One day I'll know it get it right!

Listen to what stinky said. I too have grown a few strains which were crosses of skunk 1 or a form there-of and the buds were very big, had mass amounts of red hairs, but hardly showed any trichs at all. These types of strains will get you high (not a great high), but the taste, smell and bag appeal is not there. And like stinky, I too will not grow them again.
Give them some time though.
Bong water? Come on.... I'm not trying to be a jerk, but do some home work and you will find that you probably have something in your kitchen that will help your ph besides using nasty-ass bong water. And keep it simple, you have way to many things going into your plants.
Peace out all.
