Day 37 flower and no buds...?

Yeah, i'm not sure about the soil... just kinda mixed some homemade compost with some pro gardening soil and worm castings and some perlite for the soil to breathe...

I PH my water between 5.5-6 every water :) My natural PH is about 7.5 or so, pretty high I guess aha

So I guess its most likely a deficiency?
In soil your Ph should be between 6-7 not below 6 that would be for hydro. If you're at 5.6-6 you're likely missing out on the major uptake of key nutrients. Trying Ph to between 6.3-6.8 instead it's a more solid range for soil.

Have you also checked to make sure your plant is not root bound? Mine became root bound towards the end of flowering and caused some issues for myself.

check your timer...

if thats not it, then my guess is that its an Auto flower. OR just garbage genetics. I have grown thousands of plants from seed, and I have seen something almost identical to this. The plant never produces any real flowers... it just looks stringy. Could be a mutation...
If it was an auto wouldn't it be flowering I have some autos in DWC rt now 14 days into flower I have have buds they aren't huge yet but they are there and getting bigger by the day? Just curios to why you think they are. I don't know a lot about autos this is my first grow wih them but so far so good. Have a bunch going outside too at different intervals which I like being able to do so I constantly get new smoke coming in

Timer actually was messed up for a few days... all the buttons were mixed up but I fixed it about a week ago.. that could be a huge factor im guessing?

of you transplant during flower your plants will stop producing top growth and go back to growing roots.

Looks like an Arjan strawberry haze I grew 10 years ago. it flowered so slow and produced the smallest buds. Sage kush does the same thing too.

imo it's a 16 week pure sativa or just poor genetics
Damn :( that sucks...

Ahh okay I will try that with my flower feed... It was rootbound but just transplanted a week ago... to 15 gallon pots from a 5 gallon. So i hope that will help as well...

For soil isn't that (5.5-6) a bit low? Suppose it depends on the nute values, I run at 6.5.

This is a kush that was flipped 6/15

This is at about 50 days.

Yeah maybe my ph is a bit low... but i wouldn't think it could make a problem this drastic... hopefully not anyway lol..
I'm not Jorge, but I've learned a half a point can be an issue. Soil is more forgiving, but you still have to help the plant help you.

Timer issues? Might be worth investigating again. What if its not working properly?

@Pat666 There are auto genes that produce larfy garbage. Hopefully u dont run into those. Even credible breeders produce bad seeds, it is beyond control. Breeding is predictable process, but only to a certain extent. Anomalies will always occur.

Yeah, I had double checked and even triple... Gave it a few spins and it seems to be working fine, this is really stumping me....

Did I read that right that you transplanted to 7 gallons then almost immediately to 15 gallons? Anyway I've seen plants not grow after transplant a lot and it isn't recommended to transplant to such a large planter indoors during flower. You should allow the plant to take hold in such a large transplant. Also the plant will never use that much soil indoors. You can't transplant down in size so I think the only thing you can do is kick the plant in high gear by reducing lights hours -1. Hopefully you are on 12/12.. Go to 11 on 13 off..

Could be wrong but it sounds like a plant working on it's root system

You could be right.... and there was a big gap in between transplants... i went from 5 gallons then was rootbound, then transplanted to 15 gallons about 1 month later and now i feel as though its stunted quite a bit maybe due to the transplant and new root growth ?

How many outdoor harvests do you pull?
I would say to quit fucking with them, get a light meter, a water meter, and a ph tester.
Let them grow.
