Buds not filling out

Bojacksmum · Aug 10, 2020

Hey guys,
First post on here but pretty seasoned grower. Never experienced this before. I’m on week 4 of flower, doing a loose scrog. Under 900w (actual pull) In a 4x5 tent. Temp is getting down to 20 at night but 26 under lights, Veg time was 8 weeks, Humidity is set to 55%. Food is bloom a+b, Strain is a AK-49, 4th generation clone I’ve ran for years. Normally strain starts filling out about week 3, but plants have barely changed in a week (closer to 10 days) . I’m starting to get a bit worried about my yield. Think that she’s gonna just be a late bloomer?shouldnt she grow like her predecessors?

Is that one plant?! And I'm sure that plant will pick up sooner than you could get an answer on here. It's too healthy and you obviously have grown it several other times. The earth is still round and coke is still better than Pepsi. Your plant will be fine

That's my opinion anyhow. For whatever reason, it may have slowed down for a min, but if its the fourth clone you've grown out...I dont see how it would do some crazy different stuff unless you changed the nutes or environment

When life gets too trippy, that's the one truth that keeps me grounded

Yes one plant

Also should I be worried because I’m a Pepsi max kinda gal?
I know it seems irrational, but I was hoping to get 4-6 off this girl and now I’m worried I won’t get 2

sometimes plants in flower stall a little bit and then start bulking up real fast

For reference, this is what this girl finished like last time

900 watts of what? Led? HID?

Bojacksmum · Aug 10, 2020

1 x 280 quantum board that’s actual pull is 240
1 x “1000w” blurple that pulls 180
1x “900w” viparspectra that pulls 480

Damnnn. The only problem I can see is the Pepsi max thing. Other than that, damn. Pretty sure your good to go

You have a lot of tops, this is gen 4 but at the same training regimen?

Pretty similar, the only difference is I added the net for support this time

Pepsi doesn’t stand a chance against coke!!! Finally someone that thinks coke is better than Pepsi! But I agree, the plants will definitely pick up. Patience is hard to accept sometimes. I think they will be fine. Looking good

I used to like Coke better than Pepsi but then I tried the Throwback Pepsi with real sugar and I prefer that now. Honestly for me now it's Throwback Mountain Dew, that shit is amazing.

I think you are running too cool for LED (assuming thats what you have). We want to get up in the mid 80's (F) with LED, you are at like 79F (perfect for HPS).

Interesting, I did wonder whether the cold temps of winter were affecting the budding up, which is why I started tracking the night swings, any research I did implied it was safe as long as above 20, maybe I should bump the heater up a few degrees

Cool leaf surface tempertatures will slow growth to a crawl and greatly impact yields. So under LED I like to aim for a canopy temperature of 84 - 86F. With HPS you get a lot of infrared wavelength and that heats up surfaces it hits so thats why we need warmer canopy temperatures under LED.

Yum, Mt. Dew! And you should see all them ultralight hikers, who always seem to look at me in the strangest ways, like when they finally show up at the next shelter that is something like 26 miles from the last one that we had all left together earlier that day, and there I am, a 60 something long haired old hippy sitting at the picnic table with his two liters of heaven / Mt. Dew, a flask filled with old Jim Bean, smoking a fat one while enjoying another wonderful setting of the sun way up high in the mountains! And yeah, all those how the F did he beat us again being clearly displayed on all their young faces is always that priceless! And yep, that really has nothing to do with me, it's the Mt. Dew, that shit is like rocket fuel, so I have to say again, yum!
