i have a plant 60 days in flowering and before 2 days started producing crystals and some red hears
The strain is acapulco gold form Barneys Farm.The breeder says flowering time 65-75 days but i don't think that my plant can be ready in 2 weeks..is it any problem that slows the flowering period or is something from the strain phenotype?
i'm using 4-10-40 bloom fert.. every 2 second watering 2.5gr about 1050ppm with water.
light 2x80w cob's led.

They look good, that is a sativa strain, i wouldnt be suprised if she went 85 days.
The only issue i see is that they may not be getting enough light.
i am not sure if u lifted the light to take the pics, but u want your LED's as close as possible to those colas.

Also, your NPK ratio isnt ideal. U need more P. Also in the early stages of flowering you need more N. High K is good for the last couple feedings but it looks to me like your plants are going to be N starved before they are ready. This isnt a big deal, but next cycle i would feed a little more N for the first 4-5 weeks and more P from start to finish.

I have never had a plant finish in the exact time that the breeder says. Good rule of thumb. add 1 to 2 weeks to whatever the breeders say. Only after growing the same strain for several grows and learning the best care for that strain can the breeders time be achieved.

led lights are 10cm from tops..left and right colas are the biggest but i can't place the light over the big collas...lights are on center to get enough light all main collas...maybe i started this flower booster i bit early....i will use some doses of my veg fertilizer witch it has enough amount of n-p...Also if this plant goes for 85 days i'm expecting a decent yield for 160 watts only...thanks for your reply

Back off the potassium and go with a higher phosphorus. High potassium can cause a calmag lock out. I think you have a month left. maybe three weeks at least.
