I am posting for my friend because he is not online at all. He is growing hydroponically, has for years. What happened is when he moved the plants to the bud cycle, for the first time, nothing happened. It's been 6 weeks, no budding activity. There was no difference in the way he grew this crop and dozens of others before this one. Should he burn the crop and start over? He already, about 2 weeks ago, tried 48 hours of complete darkness. Still nothing...
1) Crop is being grown hydroponically from cuttings, been using this same strain and method for literally years with no problems.
2) Crop was on 18/6 light cycle for 30 days, till about 28-36 inches in height
3) Crop is on standard hydroponics grow solution - Brownish, Orange & Green (he said you'd know)
4) Growing Solution changed and lights dropped to 12/12 6 weeks ago.
......at the same time as every other crop, this crop simply failed to respond
5) Light type: 1000 watts HPS
6) Strain: Purple Afghanistan
7) There are white pistils showing, but no other budding activity
Plants are also not growing vertically either.
9) Crop has been shocked by 48 hours of darkness, that was two weeks ago, still nothing (he did say that he noticed a small sliver of light that may have been present).
Any ideas appreciated...
