new pistils at the end of 12/12,,, WHY??? +rep.

[bigbud x northenlights]

I didn't say only sativa, it's just more common for sativa to go on flowering for a long time.

The determining factor in ripeness is trichomes. Hoe can growers not know this? This is where THC is forming! this is the whole reason for growing!

If the trichs aren't ripe, there's a good chance the buds are going to continue growing. Get a pocket microscope for $10 at radio shack,m and read up

Here's a roll it up thread every grower should read Everyone should know about Trichomes

ok, i wont say again, i told u i already know about trichomes. read the post.
this thread is not about checking trichomes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

look at my sig pic, does it look like i need to read up on how to check trichs, i already have a julers loop to check them thankyou,

this post is about pistils late in flowering and why members thaught it happened.

try reading the original post by me!!!!!!!!

As has already been written here, IMO, it's a survival thing. Since the majority has ripened, and isn't being harvested (yet) the plant sends out more pistils looking for l.o.v.e. (to ensure survival of the species)

 

[cowboylogic]

northenlights is a indica!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i aslo do know about checking tricks, i have a fiew grows under my belt, just wondering what others thaught on the matter so late in flowering, thanx for ur input. bb x nl

It happens all the time, all is ok. Be patient and give them s few more weeks. The will pay you back well for your time.

some one said that it can produce its own pollen sacks at the end if i leave them will i get a lot of seeds or just a small amount

Yep.
Like I said though, watch for pollen sacs. I've been bit before. I've had several over the years that would also pop out a few pollen sacs with this spurt of growth. They never showed a sign of herm before that.

There's usually not that many, showing up mainly on the lower buds.

 

[lowryder666]

OMG.

I've heard of a cocktease but a budtease!!!!

The little bitch!

I won't worry so much now I know I'm a gonna get the goods at the end

I'm so happy I know this now

You need a rip my man...he was trying to help, and yes you started the thread, but it's not YOURS. BTW even though NL Looks and acts very indica, it's even got thai in it's background. so when someone tries to help you and others, try not jumping their shit. Usually peeps will be more willing to help, if you don't fuck with em when they try.

just a thought

i was mearly stating that i already knew about checking tricks, god man look at my sig pis, does it look like i need a lesson on how to tell when to harvest????????

that wasnt the initial question, i think u should read through the thread properly before commenting tom me like that, i wasnt asking for helpm m8.

just wanted to kno other peoples opinions on the matter in hand, and their experience in the matter when they get new fresh pistils late in flower, im not on here to argue m8, peace

Wow why are you surprised your buds are still growing if it's not ripe.

You're the one who called this the "end of 12/12"

Please explain what made you think this was the end of 12/12?

it is actualy very near the end of 12/12 m8, i never said nothing about the buds being ripe!!!!!!!!!!

i had my own theory on the matter (late pistils) wich was correct, i was just interested in what others thaught, i was board so i thaught ide start a thread about it, clear now??

im not here 2 argue,

what theory is that and how do you know it's correct?

nl is not an indica, it's a hybrid leaning toward the indica dom side. newer seeds of nl are NOT the nl that we used to get, it's a replica, a reproduction. so, unless you have a pre-99 cut, you don't have real nl.

the plants are growing flowers because you are feeding bloom fertilizers. it's as simple as that, and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

and remember, a few grows doesn't make you an expert with 20 years experience.

I'm not so sure this is absolute . . . I get new flowers during a month of flushing, well after all traces of all nutes should be l-o-n-g gone?
20 years? Hell, I had more than 20 years 20 years ago.

you also draw conclusions without reading and comprehending the text. look at my quote, and my post before that. p and k will create new flowers. during the final stage, the plant still has stored nutrients. and as i stated, this is apparent with most hybrids, as well as landrace (which most are not privileged enough to have seen).

the fact is, nothing is unusual, that's just the way it is. don't worry about it, harvest according to trichomes (on mature calyxes).


i don't check trichs, i look for the swell. when things get big and poofy and calyxes are the size of tears, they come down. yes, there are always white pistils on every strain i harvest at that point. as fdd says, when they're done, they LOOK done.

fuckin RAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!!

this is like the fucking freeway. anybody going slower than you is a fucking idiot and anybody going faster is a goddamn maniac

none of you can grow pot, only me.

lol, you brits are a trip. name calling is very childish, you know...

not all of what i said was directed to you. i just want to know your theory, and how you have proven it correct. i mean, here you are saying bloom nutes have nothing to do with it, but you used bloom nutes to flower the plant. it's not possible that what you fed BEFORE you began flushing has anything to do with it, right?

get YOUR facts straight, and stop being a child. if they're ready, cut them down, and forget about the odd white pistils.

they are down as a matter of fact and u stated that i was still using bloom nutes thats why i may have extra pistil growth!!!!!!!!

IN FACT i wasnt using nutes, i cut down the nutes to 1/4 strengh even before my flush, so when i actualy did flush there were hardly any nutes to flush anyway!!!!!!!!
MY FACTS ARE CORRECT TO WHAT I WAS SAYING M8.
if u havnt got anything tidy to contribute to this thread then move on.

my theory was = sudden growth spurts of pistils late in flower are = the plant knowing its at the end of its cycle therefore making one last effort to catch male pollen to reproduce, 60-70% of the plants pistils are dying or dead by now and the plant knows this, by putting out new fresh pistils the plant will have more chance of catching male pollen to reproduce.

if u can find a better explination feel free to add to that, i appologise for name calling, it just seemed as if u were telling me about my grow when actualy u know nothing about it

go back and read all of my posts in this thread. what i said was you use bloom nutes to flower the plant. these nutrients are stored in the plant. after the plant has no food, it doesn't just stop growing. if you used a general 10-10-10, you wouldn't have this going on, it's the flower boost that results in rebud. if you get new growth at harvest time, it means you're doing something right. that's when you gaining mass and weight. if your stems and leaves are green, the plant has plenty of stored nutrients to continue growing/flowering.

i'm not trying to tell you anything about your experience or your plants. i'm generalizing. the only reason i'm posting, however, is because you say you've proven your theory (hypothesis), and i'd like to know what proof you obtained. if you reread, you see the irony of it, and why it's mildly amusing to me. i'm not picking on you, just messing with you. the way you talk is just... idk, funny? "MY FACTS ARE CORRECT!!!" .... do you mean your hypothesis (idea) was correct? facts are facts, they're called that because they ARE facts. what i'm pointing out is when you have an idea, it's a hypothesis. once you've proven your hypothesis correct or incorrect through experimentation several times, you develope a theory. a theory is not a fact until it's been proven by several scientists.

so yeah, it's kinda funny.

hey bbxnl have you ever seen that again while you were using bloom nutes?thats gonna help

cant believe ur still going on after ivr tried to make the peace, i have recieved an infraction because of u winding me up, i cannot believe u r trying to give me a lesson on growing here, with my own plants, wich i feed not u?????????

il say it once more and im not replying again, i understand fully how nutes work, how the plant stores and uses nutes ok.

i also told u that i had cut down to 1/4 strength nutes.

my schedule before flushing was =

ph'd water with no nutes
1/4 strength nutes, bloom + 1m per ltr boost
ph'd water no nutes
1/4 strength nutes as above
ph'd water no nutes and so on until i gave a 14 day clear flush.

before giving the final flush i flushed the pots with 3 times the volume of soil, washing away any nutes or salts left in the soil so by the time i was into day 6-10 of the final flush there was nothing or literaly next to nothing left or stored in the plants, thats why leaves turn yellow late in flower when flushing!!!!!!!!!!

ur posts are very patronizing to me, i just harvested 32oz off 4 plants m8, thats 8oz per plant in a small grow box of 1mtr square with only 400w hps.
seems as if i know what im doing dont u think????????????????

basicaly u were being a d*ick 2me and patronizing me, wot do u expect??
