Well it look like their just starting?Cant tell,they need food for the stretch.

The biggest 2 were planted on 1st May. The others 6 weeks after. Ill take a couple more snaps closer up, as I think they might be pre flowering - I hope!

I hope not! The bigger ones are approaching 4 feet now, and I only have 2-3 more feet above them lol... May have to bend them over and put some more bamboo up.

Thanks!

If vertical space is an issue then I'd definitely start some LST to bend them down and even out your canopy.

Whats your light hours? below or right at 15hrs will trigger them

 

[Tropical Grower]

Right now we're at 12.5 hours of light, this will reduce to 12 over the next 6 weeks.

Yeah then, feed them.There starting.

 

[Tropical Grower]

I feed/will feed them the following:
- Fish fertiliser every couple weeks (will switch that to tea containing molasses and Epsom salt, and worm casting)
- Dolomite lime (1 tbs to potting mix once/month)
- Epsom salt foiler spray every couple weeks
- Fertiliser
- At least 1x pure water between feeds

Open to suggestions if that isn't sufficient

Keep with the N(worm castings and fish) these girls will need 14+ ish weeks before their finished.

Would you guys say that this is pre flower, week 1 flower, or other!?

Just looking like pre-flowers to me. Once flowering starts in earnest they will form little clumps of those on their way to becoming buds.

With sativas they can take a long time to really get flowering in their native climate. Indoors when they are under 18 hours of light then switched to 12/12 they are forced to flower artificially. I've grown a lot of those indoors over the years.

Sunlight hours have been very gradually decreasing from 13 hours when I planted. We have exactly 12.5 hours of sunlight today, and that will decrease to precisely 12 hours at the end of September. I therefore hope they will be looking a lot different by that point! Will keep this thread updated, and thanks for the help <3
