HELP Need a step by step guide to follow

[Squirtin Dirt]

Both AK-47 from very well known seed Bank. Planted same time(day 1 was May 1st) and everything else the same along the way. Week 7 total, week 3 of flower (I think?) They both look shitty but why is one throwing pistols and frost on leaves and the other is like stuck in veg. Bigger one started showing white pistols like 2 weeks ago. Maybe 3. Smaller one seems to be froze.. first ever grow. Extremely frustrated and disappointed in myself. There's no way either will be done by week 10 or 11.. barley any nutes Givin since in OF. When they did get nutes it was 1/4 strength. have always looked mainly healthy. Temp varies small amounts. Ver y conscious about overwatering. PLEASE HELP.

They’re alive and green, that’s the main thing

Is it necessary you harvest in 10/11 weeks from planting? If not, don’t sweat. No rush on figuring out a solution. Slow and steady is key.

i can’t say exactly what the issue is — hopefully someone else can chime in. But it’s possible one may be an accidental photo seed, and the other is just a little slower than advertised? Not saying this is the case, but just a possibility.

What is your light cycle? One option is to switch to 12/12 to see if you can force the non-flowering one to flower, at least then you’d know for sure.

Solid advice.. thank you. Been 18-6 it's whole life.

Main thing is, it's a learning experience and it's supposed to be fun so don't let it get you down.....one thing that can help with worrying about over watering is a grow bags....they drain and dry out pretty quickly so can alleviate that worry, can be as expensive or cheap as you want....Dollar store cloth type grocery bags work well. Nice little set up you got there

there looking pretty dam healthy bro so well done and don't look at other growers' plants and how they look as all setups aren't the same

Go easy on the nitrogen bro. Looks like she’s getting a bit much nitrogen. Which seems you are getting some symptoms from it. Too much fertiliser or it’s in a possible lockout from the nitrogen. It can happen often with nitrogen ending up locking out stuff. The salts themselves turn into nitrogen I’m certain. She will throw pistols in her own time though. Mine usually start flower around week 4-5. If im correct in saying this... ur soil choice naturally has a lot of fertiliser in it. Your light won’t yield too much because of it’s size no doubt that’s why the girls aren’t up to your expectations. Download photon app and check the ppfd. That way you can bring the light lower if the ppfd is low

Thanks for the reply. What light at the very least would you recommend to get decent yeilds.. not trying to spend a bunch right now but if you think my light is a major setback I'd be willing to up my light game a bit

Well, the looks and the sticker on the light tell me Mars-Hydro, the ballast on top means it's not a ts600...so a ts1000, ts2000,...I run 3 x ts 1000 in my 3 x 5 tent.....your area looks to be 3 x 3?.....it will work, it is not a major setback.....concentrate more on your style of growing, whether you want to be micro managing every little thing or more Ronco, set it and forget it simplicity like me......but you are gonna get bitten by the upgrade bug...we all do, so you might want to look into adding another down the road....I like to saturate this living shyte out of my plants, trying to find the white out on the top...

TS1000 indeed. It's odd size storage shed. Somthing like 3.5 x 7.. I hate that really good lights are so spendy. I guess you get what you pay for.. thanks for the advice my man!

I have a ts1000. Totally decent light and features for the money. You can grow great plants with it! I wouldn't try for more than 2 plants with it. 1 at a time may be best. These plants can get a lot bigger than expected.
