[Capt. Skinx]

veg- 45 days. signs of sexual maturity.......
12/12 -10 days
13/11- 6 days, now
STILL no pre-flowering or sexing
no light leaks, plenty of ventilation, almost 680 W of T5 flouro, proper Lumens and color....
what gives?
can't afford any HIDs, so please no suggestions about that.... surely that isn't my only option, is it?
ALSO: I have had 90 kinds of hell trying to post pictures. SOOO, if anyone would like to see them by email, I will be trusting and discreet.....

Be patient. Some strains take longer than others to start flowering. Have you also started using flowering nutrients?

Why can't you post pics? What trouble are you having?

Give it some time man, it's bound to flower im sure.I have a plant that took over 30+ days before I saw any kind of flowering/pistil activity.

[Capt. Skinx]

once weekly: a tea mixture of 1g water, 1 tbs Blackstrap Molasses, 2.5 tbs Jamacian Bat Guano. about 1/4 gallon per plant
every other week: water sparingly
pix: just can't seem to make them transfer.......
have read the destructions to no avail.......

Flowering nutes have a higher composition of phosphorous over nitrogen and potassium; e.g>>15-30-15

[Capt. Skinx]

any recommendations on flowering nutes? soil. organics ONLY, please....

[bombbudpuffa]

I'm using neptunes harvest and my plants love it. Oh and it's hydrolyzed fish so it won't make your house smell like bodies are under the floor...lol.

[Geter-D1]

:rofl: bodies under the floor huh .... stoney bud pretty much said it , but if i may add just cause they show there sex still doesnt mean they have reached enough maturity to flower , sativas in my experience are famous for it it takes them longer to do there thing, go to .......... www.foxfarmfertilizers.com

You might try looking in the organics section of this forum.

I'm a hydro guy...

til when I can visibly see the familiar "V" pistils with the unaided eye..........

Each strain's clock is different.........

If your box is light tight, giving higher phos nutes, and have close to 5,000 lumens per ft2, your doing what ya gotta do.......

Be patient, Grasshopper, you too will be able to walk upon the rice paper.;)

[Capt. Skinx]

Both plants have little white pistils EVERYWHERE at two weeks of 12/12!!!!!!

those are your preflowers. Good organic nutes IMHO are botainicare series pro blend and liquid karma and cal mag plus

[mndovrmtr420]

good organic soil, Happy frog by fox farms or garden and bloom brand.

Is it ok to put a pre-flowering plant like the one described above (white long hairs) back ino veg? So far two days of it (veg)and my plant's not too stressed. I'm just worried it might affect my yield.

[Capt. Skinx]

mndovrmtr420:yeah, man. I use Fox Farm Ocean Forest right now.... Is the Happy Frog better, you think? My results thus far have been astonishing, considering I've never grown before. IMHO, if it ain't broke don't fix it, but I would like to try that botainicare series pro blend..... Dude at the local Hydro shop redommended it. Will try next feeding on 23/24Aug07.....new pix soon

[Capt. Skinx]

also, I see a lot of peolpe asking if it is ok to put a preflowering plant BACK into veg. WHY?!?!? if they show alternating nodes and preflower like mine, they are sexually mature and doing what you want, correct?

[bombbudpuffa]

WHY?!?!?I'm guessing to get bigger plants and bigger yields.

[Capt. Skinx]

it won't shock the plant?

[bombbudpuffa]

it won't shock the plant?It could but probably not too bad.
