Developing Really Slow in Flowering? PICS

here are my girls side by side. went into photo period oct 10.

thelma- left
Sally- Right

Now during veg sally was ahead of the other 3 i started with. now she looks sick?

Ffof
Tiger Bloom

previous problems:
phosphorous def

They look Nitrogen deficient at the very least. Have you checked your soil Ph or your temps?

temps are 75-85. I used bottled water, and 2 tbsps of tb per gallon. Never had this problem before...

anyone else?

yeah nitrogen and other micro nutes add some ff grow big i think for micro nutes

Can't really tell you if they're nitrogen deficient with that hps light on. It makes everything look yellow which is a sign of N deficiency. Take photos using a flash or lit by cfl or an incandescent light source so we can see the real plant color. These wahoo's calling it N deficient must not be growers. Are they the same strain? Different strains can grow at extremely different rates.

Same strain- same age. but she nearly stopped growth after week one of flowering. Phosphorous def was pretty bad early on om veg. so im leaning towards that as the problem- stunted. had signs of n k def after it went long enough without p...

in conclusion- she got chopped and cooked. just had a peanutbudder sandwhich.

thanks for the reply,

*EDIT
do you know if big bud m.n. be a good additive with tiger bloom?
-powder form

almost one month into flowering right? can you get some pics with the hps bulb off? its really hard to tell anything with hps bulbs on. also they dont look to underdevoloped for only being 3-4 weeks into flowering.

do you have access to some FF big bloom? if you can get some give them a generouse dose of it. like 1/4 cup per gallon. hold off on adding to much your going to need to give them a dose of grow big in week 7 and 8. your probably looking at another 6 or 7 weeks before they finish up. how long did it take before flowers started forming after switching to 12/12?

After a few days of flower they started to show. by the end of the first week the one on left had buds- one on right had a few hairs and it froze- wouldnt grow any further.


Nutes I have atm;
ff tiger bloom
--Grow Big
Age old Grow
and a micro nutrient- big bud


Took a few pics with the flash- to try and get the plant color- I cant just turn the hps off... there is a schedule- to mess that up would not be wise. in order to preserve the dark period I cant look... :-\ hopefully the new pics help

Perhaps I just need a green light bulb.

How big are your pots? I moved mine to 5 gallon buckets that I bought from home depot for about $2.50 a piece, and they took off! This is 2 1/2 weeks into flowering under a 400W HPS

wow- very nice looking, skolar.

They are in 3 gal buckets.. but I only vegged 3 weeks in 6x6 square pots.

I have a 150w hps. small space grow.

thanks,

150w light is probably most of your problem i flower with a 600w and think its slow. when you take a picture with flash just snap them when the light first clicks off. in the first 15 minutes or shut it off for 15 minutes. doing this once you snap some photos isnt going to stress your girls. just make sure to keep the light off for a good 10-15 minutes as to not cause damage when it fires again. 3 gallon buckets could be hurting to but they dont look root bound.

I'm going to have to 2nd that. Check this chart, you can see how close 150w should be to the plant. For small enclosure, 250+ watts is best.

I push mid 80's with the 150w. my. Oil cab is less than 2 ft wide. 1 and a half feet deep on one plant. 16000 lumens is recommended for a 2x2 area. And I don't have enough?

More light is always better. Maybe get some better ventilation too.
