5-6 weeks into flowering, going slow i think

[bob h]

Whats up homies, been growing some indoor for the last 2 and a half months, plants look pretty healthty but it seems to me that flowering process is slow judging from pics iv seen on othere threads iv reed. from day 1 iv been watering till soil is dried out 3 inches deep, i use budzilla every other watering, it has a NPK of 30 30 70 and i was wandering if thats enuff for the plant to get some big as buds or may be i need to up the quanitity, i mix 5ml per litre and give the plants half a litre every othere watering.
got the weed under a 600 hps.

Any help please brothers il try and get some pics up soon as.

these plants are 2 and a half months old are they gona produce more buds or is it to late

 

[angelsbandit]

They are just starting to flower - the buds will get much larger.

 

[bob h]

cheers thanks for the post bro, jus getting paranoid that something was wrong with them.

 

[tybudz]

looks like they can go for around 12-14 weeks total so about half way. let um keep goin !! they will fill in alot !!

 

[bob h]

sweet bro will do, iv seen other threads pics and their buds are huge so i thought i was doing something wrong

depends on genetics, heat, light, etc. Some strains are meant to go past 11 weeks and some not past 8. High heat slows growth as does low light

i have 600watt hps about 2 feet above them. not sure on the temperature but got a fan on them when lights go on. am i able to resoil them when they are in flowering i think the bottom their pots are abit soggy and iv caught some fucken gnats flying around.

You should get thermeter. Its recommended to keep temps below 85 degrees during flowering. You might be fine, but it be nice to know. Also, gnats can reduce/slow growth too. Adults suck sap from the leaves, the larvae eat the roots. Are you treating for the gnats? they can be defeated in about two weeks if you treat for them properly. I had gnats and I killed them off in about ten days. Gnats dont get to live in your house and eat free weed! Kill those fuggers off lol

fucken gnats i hate those cunts. had quite afew flying around about 4-5 weeks ago, i dried soil out for a few days then drenched with neem oil, put up some sticky cards and that reduced the numbers heaps. only see a couple here and there lately. fucken dont really want to go through the hassle of resoiling, what did you do to get rid of them. il get one of those thermeter soon as.
thanks bro

I used a two prong attack. Use neem oil for two weeks straight. That kills the adults and heps to prevent them from laying eggs. Use daily for two weeks. Neem isn't an instant killer but works over the course of 10 to 14 days. You can use gnatrol or mosquito dunks to kill the larvae. The larvae live in the soil feeding on the roots for about 10 days before surfacing. There is a bacteria in the that stuff the makes the larvae stop eating the roots immediatly. Use both treatments for two weeks and the problem will be solved. Dont skip treatments. Thats the number one way growers fail in treating for those bitches. Good luck.

2 words for the gnats. Diatomaceous Soil. The adults can't land to lay their eggs without dying from their fragile wings being scraped off by the silicate soil, and the little larvae have a waxy protective layer that gets rubbed off as well by the abrasive soil, killing everything off within a couple weeks and adequate dry times between watering. The process is mechanical, so you don't add any new chemicals into the medium, a bonus imo, and the additional mineral content is harmless or even beneficial if anything gets broken down to a point that the plant can use it.

You can use Neem (organic), dunks (microgranism) and DE (physical). Neem will prevent the gnats shell from thickening and makes it easier for the DE to puncture the exoskeleton. Neem prevents the gnats from: laying eggs, eating leaves. Dunks stop larvae from eating roots. DE will not do that. DE will also choke of the air to your soil. If you use Neem and dunks, you wont need the DE.

shot bro, thanks for the rep man.
