When do they fatten up?

[Bassin253]

Wondering when the bud fatten up 40 days of flower and I have just a bunch of white hairs wondering when the will form some buds. First grow so I'm a newbie

Strain- grape ape from clone
Soil FFOF 5 gallon smart pots
Nutes full fox farms line grow big big bloom tiger bloom and just started cha Ching at a low dose

How do you thing these are coming along do you thing I will have a ok yeild?

I use all the same stuff as you but a 15 smart pot , do you use cal mag ? And do you ph your nutrients? This day 28 of 12/12 jack herer

 

[Bassin253]

Yep ph to 6.2 after I add nutes seems like I've seen a lot of new guys ph the water then add nutes no cal mag I'm in soil and was told I didn't need to

 

[Snakefarm1991]

yeah definitely Ph after you add your nutrients to water, what kind of water you use?

 

[Snakefarm1991]

I use reverse osmosis water and you have to add cal mag to it

 

[Bassin253]

Yea just using tap that I let set out for a day it's worked good

I used water from my well for my first year never ph'd and my plants did pretty good (problem with tap/well water is they do have cal/mag in it they also have a bunch of other shit you don't want in your weed) then I switched to RO water but didn't ph or put cal mag in it and it was my worst harvest ever.
I never give my plants just water anymore either just nutes and its seemed to help.

When my plant was in my 5 GL smart pot I used a gallon of nutes every feed

Ok so big question when will I see buds just hairs now

 

[Snakefarm1991]

Very soon , I would snap off your fan leafs that are covering up you hairs so you buds can stack up, what kind light you running is the real question?

 

[HEKTOS]

patience is a virtue.

You'll get sick buds,Don't forget grape ape ain't the best yielder.

 

[Gregor Eisenhorn]

Damn, I'm in the same boat as you OP. 40 days and another two weeks left to go, but nothing is really happening.

Some strains really pack on the weight towards the end.
Or it could just be a low/medium yielder,doesn't mean it won't be dank.

Very true, it's a Blue Kush from Dinafem and I stressed her the fuck out during my grow so that could be the problem. I'll just give it another three more weeks and see how we do.

 

[HEKTOS]

Yeah,I was gonna ask how you came up with another 2 weeks,let her go till she shows you she's done.

Ok so be patient they look good

If nothing is happening then you probably have more than two weeks to go. Using the naked eye look at them like bread in the oven. You will notice they will start to turn a golden brown color as they finish up. Most strains/phenos are different so you cant really say i'll cut at 8 weeks or whatever just let them go till they are baked i like to say.

 

[Gregor Eisenhorn]

You you're right, it's just me being impatient. The strain finishes flowering after 60 days, but you're right every plants different. I've noticed that for some time nothing is happening, no bud growth whatsoever and everything is in order.

I'll just have to wait and see, patience was never my strong point.
