My Biggest girl up close

[owenh]

this is my biggest baby at 3 weeks flower how is she looking

 

[richjames]

3 weeks of flower? Hmmm.... looks a bit slow going, but could be cuz the strain. Anyhoo, she should be gettin fat soon, good luck

 

[owenh]

there have been some temp battles with cold

 

[richjames]

Really? Damn usually it's the HEAT. She don't look cold in the pic, no purple. I'm sure she'll take off soon though. How cold did it get? Inside?

 

[owenh]

not cold enough to turn her perple or to kill but 51 is the lowest on a couple cold nights, i have to insulate my new growroom when i get the cash and that should help out a lot but for now i have a space heater so that is doing the trick but trying to keep the temp at one place is a monster job lol, i guess i need an external thermostat too lol

i think you can start backing out the nitrigen about now. 3 weeks she should have formed buds already. those fan leaves in the pic-are the lower ones that spindly? what is the NPK ratio of your nutes and what ph are yuo running-soil or hydro

 

[DougBenson]

mine didn't start showing till about week 3. I'm 7 weeks in and barely have 3" buds. Sometimes it just takes 10-14 weeks to flower. I easily have another 6 weeks. But damn i'm going to get a lot of pot. Keep it up it will come around. patience.

could be that yo dont have enough light.

 

[owenh]

400 watt hps

and i am using general hydroponics 5-15-14 maxi bloom its has soil and hydro mixes

ph is about 6.8 ish

6 plants in the flower room each in 5 gal buckets

 

[Izzo1978]

can anyone tell me how to post a question???

 

[owenh]

click on the new thread button in whatever group you want to post in i believe its up at the top

 

[DoobsDay]

a 400w hps is a bright light indeed, but how far is it from the plant? with enough fan id sit that sob 8+ inches from the top of your plant, depending on how big it is (theplant). but if the rest is how you say it is then it sounds like youve done a good job, and just give it time.

 

[richjames]

Shit ya, get them shits as close to the hps love as u can without burnin her tits off. Depends on ur setup how close u can get em. Some people get there's like 4-6inches away, but theyre usually runnin cool-tubes or an air cooled hood

 

[xxtoadxx]

i have one under a 400 hps and shes that far along if not further @ 8 days....

 

[owenh]

well since i have some tall plants and some short i am kinda making a comprimise on closeness but to the tall ones the light is about 10-12 in away due to me not having a air cooled hood and the temps are good at tat distance

 

[Tomogchi]

I would raise up the shorter gals.... Put something underneath the bucket so that they can be close to a uniform size for equal light distribution......
But looking good!

Me and my buddy had a friendly competition, growing one plant each in my closet. Long story short, he went apeshit withthe scissors on his plant and his is like half the size of mine, So I put his on a bucket to even everything out. Its workin well.

 

[greenleaftoker]

Damn.. sick setup but avg results, check mine at 3 weeks on cfl's.. look different.

But it could just be the strain, and as you mentioned temp problems.. be patient.

Goodluck
