scooby i got something i wanted to talk to you about. my plants are in day 15 of flower and they havent shown any signs of starting to flower yet and im starting to get a little worried. in the past ive let things go above 300 ppm to see how things go and my plants always get tip burn and leaf curl but they never took this long to flower before. it might sound kind of crazy but with this one strain i got blubonic it seems like the healthier i keep the plants the longer it takes for them to flower. my crop is extremely healthy right now and i havent had one problem. i made sure i never went over 300 ppm from day one and all leaves are healthy. is it possible that the plants arent getting enough big bud and its causing the plants to flower later? i started using big bud on day 8 at the ratio we talked about before which is 50% ml of the 2 part. im starting to think that because my ppm is so low because the plants cant handle the nitrogen, than maybe i should be measuring big bud by the gallon instead of doing that ratio. with all the other additives it doesnt matter but i read in another thread that big bud makes your plants flower sooner so maybe its a good idea to do this to make sure the plants get enough of it. because of whats been happening i just bought some bud ignitor and added that tonight to see if that can hurry up and make them flower. i heard bud ignitor makes plants flower in as few as 3 days.

just to give you a heads up of what ive been using. first week i used 2 part bloom, barricade, and b-52. now ever since the second week ive added big bud and bud candy plus everything else plus starting bud ignitor tonight. could the b-52 be delaying flower at all? i know AN says not to add it the first 2 weeks but i thoughs that was because it cuts the stretch down which affects yield. this clone i got stretches a little too much so i figured fuck it il just use b-52 from day 1. what are your thoughts on this scooby am i blowing this whole thing outta proportion or is this a problem? and theres no light leaks. this is the best crop ive grown in my entire life so far because im using my new aeroponics system everything is going so fuckin incredible except for this one thing

hey tree. i would't be worried too much. i think it has more to do with your new setup. actually, in an aeroponic, rdwc, or undercurrent system the nutrients are more readily available to the plants because water is actually your growing medium and since it is so aerated the plants can uptake it much more efficiently. this is why a lot of guys run much lower ppm's in these type of systems. if your plants are super healthy i wouldn't even worry about it. i think if anything they are in better shape than your last system and you are probably just getting a slightly longer stretch period. maybe due to the availability of the nutes. i wouldn't worry at all. if it was a nutrient problem i think your plants would show you that.

thats the first thing i started thinking but have you ever grown a strain thats mostly indica that showed no signs of flowering in 15 days?

plenty tree. i wouldn't even worry. in my opinion...the quicker you put them into flower the longer you have to wait for them to show sex. most times when i do 2 month veg periods or such, my plants are showing sex in veg. i tried a couple SOG experiments and some of my strains took a 11-20 days to show sex. i think it takes them longer when they are younger and you switch them to flower. plus the new system might be adding to it. sounds like your plants are really healthy, that's all you should be worried about.

i hear you i thought stuff like that was only relevent when you grow from seed. you just made me feel so much better what a relief lol. it would be a travesty if something went wrong with this crop, this looks like an easy gram per watt to me and thats with no veg time. i appreciate it scooby! il let you know how things work out. this is a great reason to add bud ignitor in my routine from now on. 2 1/2 feet plants with no buds wtf lol
