You shouldn't have too much to worry about - just make sure they're back in their 12/12 cycle. A few things that may happen from the 'light leak' is a possible growth shock (slight slow-down) as well as some freakish looking leaves.... those are things i've heard of resulting from light changes in the flowering cycle.
so my buds shud b oryt then??
thanx dayzt uv bin a big help to me too mate so again thanx bruv.

Without seeing any pics etc its gonna be hard to tell what it is, but to me it sounds like they need food!! Have you started to give them bloom food?? or what are you feeding them!!??

I LOVE this book and it has helped me with everything, see if you can grab a copy it is well worth the money!!

Stay Strong Bruv!!

Well my girls are nearly at the end of week 2 and there showing some nice budding areas already! so i guess that you moving them might have put them back a bit, so you may have to flower for a bit longer!! chuck some pics up bruv and let me have a look see if there is anything i can see!!

I will be putting some pics up on my journal at he end of week 2 which is on the wensday! have a look at them and we can compare the difference!! 1 of them is Barneys Blue Cheese i think, but wont know till i harvest or see full buds that i can compare against each other.

nice choice you have there. i myself am in the process of taking care of two little girls, bluecheese and lsd both from braneys already feminized. but the big difference is im doing it in a small refrigerator with 150 hps and four daylight 26w cfl's, Let us know how nice your little babys come out, ive never had blue nor lsd but so far the blue is kicking ass in vegetative stage, good luck and keep us posted

The light leak will be what has held them back from flowering!!! This may have stressed them and is def why they have started to flower later!!! WATCH out as you go. keep a good eye on them as i hear that it could pos make them go from being female to hermie!!

Think you just need to get it sorted so theres NO light at all when their on there 12hr night cycle!! also the redding of the stems has happend to some of mine i think that can be due to high fluctations of temp!!! being it getting to cold or getting too hot!!

Im new as well so get some more info from others!!! or look on the threads that help with problems with your plant, they are bloody good!!!

Hope it all sorts out!!! Stay strong bruv!!!!

yeah man that light leak is a killer once youve started flowering so do your best to prevent them from getting light, also if you have money to spare you can always buy a green light so that way you are able to work in the dark with the green light on and not have to worry about stressing the plants, its pretty good when you have problems with light leaks, and as far as red stems mines used to have them also with no problems in the end, i guess its either the pheno or weather as well, let us know whats the temp you have them in at dark and daylight

Mate thats nasty!! I would say that the ones that are floppy have been getting the most light in there 12/12 and its confused them!! Not sure if you can save them but what i would do is may be chuck them into veg again under 24hr light!!(if u can that is) i think after a few weeks they might sort themselves out.
As for the others you may have been luck and just keep them on 12/12 and make sure its dark when it should be!!!

All the best mate!!!!

Okay. Haven't seen it that bad in person before but I've seen pleny of journals and that appears to be a case of heavy underwatering. :cuss:

Either you haven't given them enough/as much water as they need or those plants are locking out water some how (can happen if roots are screwed up....tough for you to tell in soil). :-(

I don't believe that the confusing light cycle would do this to them. They're way more likely to herm or even re-veg with the light issue you described. ;-)

My best guess is to try and water the hell outta them....but don't overdo it. Kind of a tight rope, I know. :wall:

As for the light poisoning issue, you have 2 options. Continue with the flower and keep a close eye for male parts. If they arise, just chop those balls off (seperate hermed plants from all female ones as needed...you don't need hermed seeds). Hermed plants can still be harvested but you have to remain dilegent in taking out those pollen sacs. It takes some serious work but it's doable. :?

Option 2 is to re-veg them. Go straight to 24/0 or 20/4 or even 18/6. Again, they could still herm from this as well but by succesfully revegging them you're essentially pressing the "reset" button on the flowering plant. Do not attempt to reveg if they are much past 2 weeks in flower. The nice part about your plant not really flowering is that it'll be easier for them to re-veg.

Also, try posting in the plant problems area with those pics. Like I've said, I've seen that exact same issue before enough times where I would imagine someone has succesfully dealt with it.

Hope all goes well bro. Don't stress too bad. Just do whatever research you can in the meantime. These are remarkably resiliant plants and you always have the option of cloning the ones that look nice and healthy. ;-)

F***:cuss:

Forgot to mention that when dealing with potential watering problems, knowing your temps is key too. High heat results in the plant losing water quickly sagging as well. And overwatering can cause a similar effect as it throws off the air exchange that the roots need.

There's a sticky in that Plant Problems area that's about Plant Moisture Stress. Maybe post your pic in there and see what that guy thinks. He knows these issues well.

baggins, bomberfrost and butters,

thanx to u guys for the speedy reply i really appreciate it... unfortunatley because i was freakin out so much, i really really felt like i had to do sumthin!

i read somewhere something about something which basically sed cut off everything and leave only new growth.... i honestly dont kno what the article was about but it kinda made sense to my situation so i did it!!

also ur comments about re-vegging gave me more confidence because thats what i was thinkin to do after the surgery!!!

because there was ALOT of flopping i had to do ALOT of cutting so they look like
skeletons ryt now!! i dont kno if what im doing is ryt or rong but i had to do something.
2 b honest i think this myt work... they are under 24 hour light in the veg room now


oh yeh and all most all the stems wer really soft?!?
i kno i mentioned this before but when i cut said stems they wer hollow inside!!

it is hard for me to believe my plants could reach critical in so little time...

what do u guys think, will this work??

once again, i had to sum major cutting so if u have a weak heart, look away......now!
