Technical Issue Help... almost 3 months... no flower...

[Mañ'O'Green]

Update on grow... yes i know i shouldnt have the lights on while imaging! but shes looking a lot bigger now... no longer stretching!

does she look healthy? the main cola looking pretty thick. there are some very small buds on the lower side of the plant... im assuming because theyre not getting enough light?

thanks!

You are right we cannot tell the health of the plant with the grow light on! Not all buds are colas but you have a ways to go and they may surprise you yet!

Update, main cola first pic an a side cola 2nd pic... i can see some browning pistils.. im feeding 580ppm full bloom nutes and dutch pro explode.. no cal mag used..

should i use cal mag at this stage? more lower leaves are falling off.. colar leaves are green and strong looking.

how long do you think till harvest?

thanks!

You got a few weeks til those buds swell up yet. More hairs will turn colors. And check your trichomes. A jeweler's loupe 30x/60x is cheap on amazon. Under 10 bucks for 1. Trichomes tell you when its time to harvest. Dint harvest when trichs are clear. Wait til all cloudy or longer of a wait for amber trichomes which most growers are after 10 to 20 percent amber. Some even go a little more I've heard other growers say. I usually chop when all cloudy or 10 percent amber

Pistols are a good indicator at when to start checking trichomes. When the pistils start turning I start checking when about 50 percent of the pistils have turned red or orange or brownish color and curl inward as they havent caught pollen and that is there purpose. Now there dying and starting to work on potency instead of wanting to get pollinated. Hence why seedless bud is more potent than seeded bud. Seeded bud gets reduced in potency cuz the plants focused on seed production instead.

awesome thanks for the clarifications!

and as for the grow light... this is what i have.. its got a switch for veg mode and flower mode.. or you can turn both on.. i was told for autoflowering just keep them both on... but because my seed may not be auto flowering due to broken genetics.... ive just kept only the flower mode on...

Depends on your grow environment. Temp and humidity?

 

[NorthernLights_420]

You cud definently use both on. The more light the better for budding. But you dont want your temps getting to hot or humid. So based on your grow environment it depends if you shud be running it or not. Grow room under 72 degrees Fahrenheit I'd flip it on and monitor temps closely for a day. I try to keep it under 80 degrees Fahrenheit during flower. And between 40 and 60 percent humidity in flower.
