- I saw the post at Sick Bay,... first question still needs to be answered, is this the auto version or the photo'? That's the key here, veg' time, and if she's 3 weeks, and is an auto, she won't veg' much more to build size is what I'm saying... By no means did I tell you to can her and start over, I said it's your call to decide.... basically if the time to finish and small size will be worth it, that's all that's behind that statement. If she's a photo' you're fine, you can veg' for weeks and weeks otherwise.... Her stage of maturity gives some hope,... no sign of sexing yet? At this age usually auto's will have shown pistils on presex calyxes, but if she's not mature enough yet (oddly delayed, point in fact), she may stack a few more nodes before that happens and probably will then shift rapidly into bloom... My experience with C+ 2.0 photo is that it's a fast strain, I'd expect the auto to follow suite,.... My point was to temper your expectations simply because most first time growers get bummed out when they just start to turn a plant around, then it goes into bloom and, strain depending, stretch and further node stacking drops of a lot.... So, ride this out and see! :smoking:
thanks for the kind words Archaic mate, but I'm far from the best here! Some of the best are very quietly going about their bizz, not a lot of attention on them,....
I'm with you on the "giving up" thing, I see so many new growers with honestly tough calls on that,.. It's not about expectations and a high bar set though, I feel obliged to offer fair assessment, it's part of the learning curve most all of us went through when first starting, ... I was no different and was told the same by my mentors here,... Now, if that plant was hammered by severe defc.'s, or pests, or nute burned/light burned, any of the major things that can stunt badly, I'd have said so and actually strongly advised starting over because yield and/or quality will not be worth the time and $ spent dragging it across the finish line...That makes peep's unhappy and may turn then off growing, which I also try to deflect them from... (the saying "it's a weed" is 100% idiocy!),... Longer tern starvation tends to do this as well, but age and stage of maturity are not the same thing, and some strains will shoot some growth off quickly if the feed situation gets turned around,... but always that clock is ticking,...
again though, sounds like it's quite the culprit. I'll start looking in the soil forums to see if something peaks my curiosity....I guess this is now purely a learning grow with possibility of a few nugs for all my troubles
