was wandering if anybody could help me?..........I wanted to know do you start counting the days in flowering when you change the light cycle to 12/12 or is it when you start seeing the white hairs? Thanks ;-)
 
Ok thanks.... With that being said, I am at 41 days at 12/12 I have seen koalas form but buds don't seen to be fat in general. Will buds fatten up once they really ripen and I begin flushing? Will post pics but my babies are sleep right now
 
They will fatten up towards the end assuming you have good light and overall conditions. Hard to say more without a pic.
 
I count from the day after the first sign's of Bud...
If you are +40 days into bud, they will fatten up some...so about 3 more weeks for you...
Why are you flushing? Did you over Nute it?
I vote feed it till the day you chop her...
Flush... Unless you have problems...
Good Luck....
 
I haven't flushed them yet. Still using botanicare nutrients (bloom + sweet raw+ hydroplex)....switching to botanicare nutrients (ripe + sweet raw + hydroplex) for 2 weeks then I will go to using Clearex for the flush.

I changed from using my bloom nutrient mixture to my using my ripeing nutrient mixture at day 42. Can someone tell me if I'm ok? I am wandering y it seems as though my buds aren't big. I have about 2 weeks and 2 days til my target harvest date. The last pic are of some clones I have topped and basically cut because I thought they'd root slower than they did and they would replace my ladies in my top flowering chamber but my harvest is taking longer than the rooting took. Any suggestions on what to do with them for another 2 weeks (i.e. lollipoping, LST)? I didn't do any of these methods on my ladies that are flowering. Again, this is my first grow so take it easy on me please. I am using a Yielder Max grow cabinet I got from Universal Hydro with a 250 LED panel light and top light with Botanicare Nutrients. Temp is 72-78 humidity 55-58. Peace and thanks!

You don't need to flush if your using organic nutrients.

You have a lot longer than 2 weeks left on those girls being that they are so sativa in stature.
 
Thanks for the info. BillCollector99 any idea of about how long? Also do you or anyone else know if my girls will be harmed if I go back to using the bloom mixture or should I continue with the ripeing mixture. None of the hairs have even began to change to amber
 
Yeah from the looks of it you got more then a month to go on those as they are barely started. might be since you just have the led light which I dont care what is said just is no where near an hid light.Are you following your nute feeding chart as it will tell you how much of each nute and for how long. Your bloom nutes go all the way til right before flush and your additives go in with the bllom nutes. the amount and mix depends on each maker. Around week 4 most have you add some nitrogen back in to keep them growing.

If all goes well your buds will fatten a whole bunch....you'll be starring at 'em the last few weeks wishing you could smoke it now as the buds will start looking amazing.
