Way Too Slow...WHY?..Please

[fishens]

I am sorry to keep posting but this is really bugging me. My one and only is 25 days into flower and she looks like 2 days. I just looked at Iwantfugeo's post..12/12 32 days and thats what I remember my last one looking like. Please, you folks with all that knowledge must have an idea of what is going on with my girl. She is a California Orange & I have been giving her Fox Farm Big Bloom since 6/24..first day of flowering. Please any short answer from anyone who might know is appreciated. Thanks

take a picture???? could be root bound ??? maybe its plant shock???

[fishens]

thanks so much bukdatass for responding. I checked this morning for root bound. Not root bound..in fact the roots are hardly there. I have given her very good & even living conditions & she looks very healthy, I don't think shock. Could it be the lacking of root formation? Maybe i should concentrate on root formation right now instead of bud??or would that mess it up more?? I realize without seeing her you are just shooting in the dark, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again.

The only thing i can think of is try flushing your plants...if it's not root bound then i have no idea what it is, but flushing your plants clears the root system if there is a build up of salt from unused ferts (you prob already know all this.....) worth a try i guess.

[fishens]

Yes I did try flushing, even though I have never put any chemicals on her. When i saw how week the root system is I was surprised, because on the outside she looks really healthy. When i tied her over a couple of weeks ago she was 20". Should i maybe give her a dose of root juice or is that not recommened this late into flowering? Thanks for any help.

You might try a root stimulator, this grow or the next. I used that after each transplant and my roots tried to go into the next room. (very small dose!)

[mscaboo]

you are supposed to continue veg nutes for 2 weeks into flower,plants need alot of n in the first 2-3 weeks into flowering.

is there any way to get a picture up?

What lights are you using?

[fishens]

So since i didn't continue with my veg ferts & i have been using Big Bloom for almost a month, I might have stunted my babies roots. I am a bad mom. so i can give it veg ferts now for a couple of weeks?? i don't know that i have much to loose..at this rate it will be christmas before anything happens. Thanks to all for your input. Sorry no pics right now.

BigBloom isn't your issue. If you follow the FoxFarm schedule, you'll see that it's used all but one week throughout the entire grow. Maybe go ahead and continue with their program by supplimenting with TigerBloom, BeastyBoyz, and Chaching.

Pictures would help. hellz...every little bit of info you can provide helps. Lights...temperature...pH...etc.
