Ok, I'm guessing I'll get chewed out for ignorance and amateurism, but alas:
Put two Auto Assassins from Short Stuff into the ground a while back. I didn't care much about yield-optimization or reading all the books before - I figured I'd learn by doing. I only wanted enough of a harvest to satisfy my own needs.
The plants are now on day 44 (counting from the day they went into the soil, I guess day 40 since they sprouted up. They are under a 250w HPS, 18/6. From the start, one of the plants went tall and one went more bush-like. I thought it had to do with the lamp placement, but switching them around didn't help. The tall plant started to show some flowering a while back, and so did the bushy one a few days later. However, it seems like the bushy plant has stopped it's flowering completely. Only a few, very small buds on the lower branches, while the top looks like they still should be vegging, even though they don't seem to be.
I've used generic grocery store-nutes. A lot. I realize that as I start reading the threads in this section. Added standard dosage to the water about 2-3 times/week. Tall one is about 95cm (37 inches), the other a couple of inches short. You might notice some leaf burn in one of the pictures - I've now heightened the lamp (to it's maximum).
Have I messed up the plant, or am I just paranoid and it will get a flowering boost soon?
Attached are five pictures: both plants together, 2 close-ups of the tall plant's top buds and close-ups of the bushy plant's lower branch bud and the top of the plant.
