hi n thanks to all that stop by n leave some info.

my question is....

my plants are 8 week strains and on tuesday they will get the 6th weeks feed. last week was the first week of reducing feed so a week after tuesday they shud be flushed for 2 weeks.. ive not got any hairs changing colour yet.. is this normal and shud i be reducing the feed.

do the hairs change or start to change at a certain time or what.????

im sure that my last grow at this stage the plants had alot of hairs changin colour. ive had really cold temps for the last 3 weeks and lowest recorded at night was 5.6c. would this cause the plants to slow down and be ready later than the 8 wks. shud i reduce feeds as normal and see wot happens..

even my leaves are all 100% dark green. no yellowing in sight..

please help as im not sure wot to do..

thanx ppl.

Well I'm a new grower and learning myself but I have read allot so here are my two cents (jump in any time guys if I'm screwing up).

First off, I assume your doing a lowryder strain (from your statement of an 8 week strain). I admit I don't know allot about it but, pot is pot.

Is this grow from new seed or clone? You state at this stage on your last grow the hairs (pistals) were changing color and you also stated it had been rather cold. I assume your grow room temperatures also dropped during your dark period so I'd say your crop has been delayed in maturing.

Have you changed anythig like nutrients? I'd give them some more time since harvesting too early would lead to an inferior harvest.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

im growing white widow and some bigbud afghani clones. they seem like they have a long way to go but would the plant not be programed to only go the 8 weeks.???

ive not changed the nutes but have slightly reduced them. my ppm is still up around 1100-1300.

here is the chart i go by and it says reduce on 6th week.. can i get away with keeping the same strength for a few weeks or wot.???

29menace · #6 03-09-2008, 05:49 PM

it says reduce in 6th week and how can it be possible not to do this.???

i thought all plants were programed to do wot they do and even thru cold times they shud still do wot they do, if cold weather can affect the time in which you flower can some one please leave me sum info.. thanx..

sorry the 5th week is wen you start to reduce the feeds and ive already done this and on tuesday i will be at the 6th weeks dose and i dont know wot to do as all 8 of my plants only have white hairs.. if the cold temps of 5.6 have slowed the plants dwn does this mean they will go by the 8 weeks.??????????????????????????????????????

need help ppl.

You cant go by charts & preset time frames,these time frames are only rough guides,you need to look at the buds closely,the condition of the bud is what tells you when & what to do,not a time frame,there are way too many variables in growing that effect bud development to have hard nailed times.

Scope your buds out & look at the trich's,they will tell the story.
