hi guys

this is my first grow and everything has went ok so far. im in the last week off flowering and i have noticed that both my plants have started to grow again at the tops off the buds... never seen it before and no light had got to them during the dark period. was wondering if anyone has had this before? also when flushing out the plants how much water to i give them and how often?

You can gain 30 to 40% of bud growth in the last two weeks, unless your referring to node growth?

i have actually just realised when i went to take these pics that my light was on, found the timer came on for 40min aprox 4 hours before it should come on for its 12hr cycle. so im guessing that this has caused my growing. how often should i be flushing out my plants, i filled it until water came out the bottom off the pot and into the try... is this ok?

much appreciated for any help

You only need to flush your soil if you have salt build up which can come from the type of nutrients you are using. Usually with good organic nutes you dont have to flush. Some flush a full two weeks prior to harvest and some don't. I have done both and seen no difference at all.

I've had something similar happen before. Noticed the first night I think - the light had been on for about an hour. Turned two of girls full hermie. Keep your eyes open for male parts appearing. Good luck - hope it works out ok.

ok so im unclear, they have been getting an extra 40min each day of light so they have been on a 12:40/12:20 type light schedule? if this is the case it definatly shouldnt put them back into veg...

they look like they are foxtailing kinda....i would give it a bit more time see if that new growth fills out with buds.

he is too late in thegame right now for polination to really mater. might end up with a few underdeveloped seeds but shouldnt effect his crop too much as he soundls like he is chopping soon.
