yes, be patient....they will fatten up....wait to 2 thirds of them hairs start to turn redish brown before u harvest. the weeks they tell u for flowering is only an estimate, just give her time and u will see....lol....

[mattj12pint2]

u should be pretty close on ur ph then, but worst case, maybe add just a lil ph down before if u cant check after ur nutes, but i think ull be ok, ur plant will definitely tell ya. but always check. cuz ive seen big changes in my tap waters ph lvls, just try to keep it at or above 6.5 to 7, ur nutes will work great and ur plant will like ya lol

The hairs are a bad indicator to when the plants are done. Too many things can make them turn brown. Get yourself a cheap microscope from radioshack or ebay for like 15 bucks and look at the trichomes (little crystals). Mostly cloudy is a more uppity high and more amber is more the couchlock high.

hi guys still no change with the plant i was thinking of flushing and was wondering what ph the water should be i flush with

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I just wanted to chime in with my 2 cents worth.

I see a lot of folk telling the guy to check PH, this is something that I've never done whilst growing in a good soil mix, and I've always been told that there's never any need to correct the PH of your feed/water when growing in dirt, I know there's plenty of folk who do this, but there really is no need, the dirt acts as a PH buffer.

When I lived in the city my tap water had a PH of 8.5 , I used John Inness #2 for my medium and I NEVER used PH down to correct my feed.

Oh, and another thing, ph up/down should never be used if you are growing organically.

Get some Epsom salt at the store and put a level teaspoon in a gallon of water and water them with it. Give the change a couple days and see what happens.

Could this thread be any more full of damn poor/bs advice? Let it die!

Thoth, organic soil grow is pretty easy but shitty water like 8.5 can cause problems or reduce quality and quantity of the product. Food grade pH down/up certainly is used in organic grows if decent water isn't available.

Mike mike, my advice is start a new thread.

Polish, the plant would be a year old now.
I haven't noticed Andy around much lately either.
