Female won't develop buds

[Hikuntry]

so I'm having an issue with a female barely developing buds. Today is the end of week 4 from the flip. Growing 3 blueberry all flowering nicely and 3 critical mass of which two are doing great but one is just lagging like it's stuck in week one. Of course that's the plant I took my clones from. Any chance this girl will ever come around. Almost sacrificed her tonight cause I'm sick of looking at her Do some just never really develop. There all in bubble buckets and like I said 5 out of 6 are cranking along. Are the clones gonna do the same thing? Thanks

If it stresses you out. Kill her. It's your grow. Your plants. You know she's not like the others. Bad genetics or whatever. She's not making the grade.

Either put up with her lagging growth or compost her. This decision is on you.

I know the decision is mine. All three of these came from the same mother which is why it's strange that this one lags so much behind the others. I was hoping that someone could share a similar experience and end result where either she exploded after being behind or just never developed

I wish I could tell you she's gonna be a big one. Something to keep in private reserve.

If she's lagging compared to the others. Expectations of her exploding...catching up. Imo, it's not gonna happen. She's a runt. Clone or not. Something didn't take right. She's behind the grade curve.

if i have several plants sometimes i get a runt, if you have plenty of space for her let her do her thing, if space is tight compost it and give the others more elbow room

Thanks I think the bigger issue here is the only clones I took from that strain came from this lady. I assume those will potentially lack in bud developing?

If all 3 are from the same mom it could just be a dinky "dud" branch. To me, it sounds like there might be something else effecting her. Any chance that she is being exposed to light during "lights out"? Sounds like she's trying to reveg.

There's no chance it's a light issue. This one is in the middle of the tent surrounded by the other 5 flowering. I'm going to say some genetic issue. No my question is do I take more clones? Today is day 30 of 12/12.

I wouldn't clone that one but probably wouldn't kill it either. Not sure why it would be different from the rest unless you stressed it from taking cuttings which seems viable if that's the only difference.

you got pics of the grow? Interested in the blueberry tbh lol. My favourite strain actually, it's been real good for me in years past .

Here are some photos
Today is day 29 since flip
First photo of all 6 plants. Three on left are critical mass three on right are blueberry

Second photo are blueberry

 

[Hikuntry]

These are the critical.

The third photo shows lack of bud development. This is my first grow in twenty years and my first dwc grow ever. I had some issues during veg first over feeding then under feeding. But everything seems to be right on trap since the flip!

They look good, really good for your first DWC, bit of canoeing on the slow one, what are the temps and PH? I would just keep doing what your doing with the slow one, it's not lagging by much really and yup could have stressed her a bit.

 

[racerboy71]

how long did you veg them for? were they sexually mature before you flipped to flower, meaning either a, alternating nodes, or b, preflowers present before you fipped to 12 / 12?

It happens. Ive taken clones and had completely different shapes come out of some of them and had them finish a week or 2 later. It's the genetics so sometimes you get a plant like this. It doesn't necessarily reflect a poor mother if your other ones are doing fine.

I'm in a cold basement but h20 terms are 65 to 72 and tent temp is usually 72 to 80 degrees. with my inexperience I had lots of trial and error with nutes and ph. I check daily and adjustEd ph daily throughout the veg. Lots of ph up and down to keep between 5.5 and 6.5. with my poor feeding schedule I was getting a ph fluctuation of about .5 daily. for the past three weeks I've been spot on and my ph drifts only .02-.05 daily. I don't think of added any ph buffer on three weeks. these were planted on Dec 26 and flipped Feb 09. thanks!

I have found with my setup my leaves will curl if PH goes up over 6 for some reason. I seem to get better results keeping it 5.6-6 but I know that's not the norm.

How could it be genetic if it's a clone? Are not clones the exact genetic copy of the mom?

Hmmm, I used to date a girl with ity bity tities......O holy shit were those nipples sensitive!
They didn't even grow much after she got knocked up (I wasn't dating her then)...

She wore Lee's......I wonder what kind of "gene's" the plant wear's?
