I have been using advanced Nutes for about 2 weeks and scattered wood ash on the base about a month ago. I'm at a loss- to be fair maybe the soil is getting washed out too much - its rained a lot this summer

I agree it's rained a biblical amount here too. Pardon my ignorance but isn't the soil in Ireland quite poor in the first place? I've never heard of Ireland being known for it's produce. But regardless with the rite amount of nutes it should be a matter of just getting more to the soil. Maybe a couple more trips out there with more Nitrogen heavy food.

there is a majority of coco coir soil in the buckets with a little potting soil mixed in. I am afraid of over feeding them. Is it ok to feed every day or every two days?

Now see that depends on a lot of factors but first I would suggest feeding them everyday till they green up if you over fert the plants they will show a lil tip burn then reduce and you'll find the balance point .I personally never worry about that too much cause the plants will literally show you what amount to put in by the color and vigorous growth. If your strain is unknown you could try to force them into budding now by shading them at the latter part of the day to get them started

Sounds like a plan man. By the looks of the plants now I think its going to be a long time before they are anywhere close to bud, probably November or December. That isn't going to work- frost is a bitch!

My thoughts exactly get them shaded really good the last couple hours of daylight n force them girls to flower after your daylight gets closer 2 12hours day 12 hours night then you can stop shading and let it take it's course. And in 2 months your smokin :) cheers!

Also if it's still gonna be close to frost time and you wanna get them done faster shade the last couple wks to really get em going if it's gonna be an issue. Just remember to flush straight water those last couple wks to get them clean as possible.

I was told black bagging would help, but others told me It wouldn't make any difference. Pity I can't speed up Flowering

Yeah bagging it would start the flowering process. See it's all about tricking the plant into thinking it's time to flower and it does this by light cycles. Some strains are faster than others and in your case it looks like it's a late flowering plant. The bag thing is just to get it dark sooner but shading will also do the trick since it's late in the year anyway. If you start today you should be harvesting in early November so if I were you I would get on it today

It's almost midnight and I don't feel like running the Kilometer to the grow site again. I will definately start tomorrow evening though. Is a 12/12 light cycle best?
