Hi all, been faceplanting all over the place but now back on track.

Problem is i have no idea what stage i'm at?

had lighting timer issues (girls getting 12 hours of dark a week!! Grrr), low temps and nute lockout!

By the grace of god they have been very forgiving and are looking great but now i need to add pk13 at the advice of the shop who haven't led us astray so far.

problem is that i know what week i'm supposed to add it and by what ratios etc but i cant find any advice on what they should actually 'look' like?

This is what they look like..... Help please clever people out there.....

probably a little more than 3 weeks for sure. dont know what youre adding but id say you got 4 weeks left at least. great looking setup though nice lookin buds too. watch out for sacks and bananas if youve had lighting issues. good luck

they look at least 3 weeks maybe 4 so at least another 4 to go you can start adding pk13-14 now at a low dose and see how they respond its trial and error some strains lap it up some dont like too much. so take it steady feed a little and increase slowly over next 4 weeks. good luck with long term lighting issues the plant will be very suseptable to turning bad on u!!!

It's skunk no 1 and sensi claim that it is a 45-50 day flowering period?

Should I ignore that pretty much and go with a roughly 8 week schedule?

Looks very sativa dominant to me.....could easily be a 12 week flower, or more. They look like they're just getting going to me. If you're in week 3 of flower, the first two don't even really count....so it's more like week 1.5. Patience is hard to come by, especially when all yo want to do is smoke and enjoy the fruits of your labor. We've all been there.

I am going to make this entire post under the assumption you are growing in soil LOL

Them be some hairy bitches...ignore schedules and shit...especially in soil...just feed it and water it.

What you've done so far is great..they look beautiful...all you need to do in flowering is back off on the nitrogen heavy nutes and give it 3-4x more P and K than N...remember your soil holds on to nutrients...you arn't directly feeding the root systems...you are feeding the soil which in turn feeds the roots...when you "feed" the soil it just adds more nutrients back into it to support the plant...Listen to your girls...they will tell you what they need :D

i agree with massah, your doing GREAT so far, they sure dont look burned/lockedout too me. they look to be around the 30 day mark lil cotton puffs not nearly done, check out fdds havrest tutorial, its a simple read as massah said, ignore the schedules especially in soil, just water and feed its better to be hungry than over fed , i feed feed feed but that me maybe once a month i give only plain TAP water but im using the g/h veganic line, so its not really chem nutes.. diffrent principal I GUESS,... IS WORKIN FOR ME =0 :fire:

Why would you use it(13-14) if your getting good results from the current flowering nutes with N ?

Only because I'm flying blind and am following the shops advice?

Like I said, they've not steered me wrong so far? This is my first grow but I'm learning as I go (I hope?)

Heh, thanks for the advice buddy, which still makes a lot of sense and helps add to my limited knowledge to date! I wish I was growing in soil now :-)

Im running an ebb and flow hydro under a 600w hps, again at the advice of the shop. Got a kit.

Been smoking for years and fed up of being ripped off and finally found a nice quiet spot to do it so venturing in!?!

Not silly but highly inexperienced :-)

You live and learn??

Ha ha, wtf? :-)

Ive tried to do as much research as poss and so far never come across sacks and bananas?? The lights are now all good, I had a dodgy timer but now I'm concerned about banana sacks. Ha

Thanks on the setup, totally guided by my local friendly hydro store so can't take any credit really but it's doing me proud!!

You can also try "the Lucas formula." I do it now with general hydroponics and saves a lot of nutes and gives better growth rates as I can tell. Just do a little search on it, it may change your mind. :)
