ok im 16 days into flowering WW and BLZ and everything is going well i'm just wondering how long till i should to start to see signs of bud?

also wondering about the stretch. like its only 16 days and they've almost doubled since i put them into flower. the only thing i can think of is i'm actually using propper marij nutes which ive slowle introducded since flowering when i could afford, now i have the full canna classic range. mayb that gave them a boost, they got through veg with only fish emolsion and seaweed extract.

cheers

Should start to see hairs anyday anytime I've grown WW it seems to strectch a few days longer then my other plants another thing to remember is the younger your plants are the longer it takes them to show sex during 12/12 I usually wait for them to show their sex before I switch the light cycle but alot of peeps don't have the light or the space for such big plants gl with your grow bro WW is a devestator :p

if you see the white hairs then they are budding. If you dont see white hairs then they are'nt budding yet.


How long did you veg for?
what light cycle are they on?

im on day 9 into bloom with WW and it dont even show its sex yet
it can take upto 3weeks to show sex depending the age of the plant or the stress it has been under from over nuted or cold or temps etc.

9 days is nothing to worry about.

thanks they are on 12/12. no sign of hairs yet (what you mean by hairs exactly tho? there are sets of 2 or 4 spikes around were the branches come of, also there r small "hairs" over all the stems but they have always had all of these). they are pretty young. like WW vegged at ~18cm, like i said they r almost double that BLZ was a lot smaller, i topped the WW and they are now about 20cm each. but i'm training the white widow it would be about 35cm if i wasnt moving around the colas. making an evan canopy. more than a week and a half at that rate of stretch n im in serious trouble.

its my first grow. its been a mess, but at this stage its all on track.

"its not real untill i see bud"

Where the nodes join onto stems or near to those spikes you start to see small little pods. These will either develop into Female calyx's with 2 white hairs coming out or groups of pods.

If you see hairs (pistils) then it is female.

Just keep looking for them.

also any pics on first signs of showing sex/buds (mine r femisised).

and does that mean i have 2 flower longer? if younger plants take longer to show sex etc.

im so confused as to flowering times. so time for a bit more info, in growing seedman WW and seedism BLZ. websites say 8 weeks for SM WW, but ive also read "give it up to 10 weeks to get full crystal/thc production" talking about WW in general. and for BLZ the site says 8-10 weeks, then the breeder says 9-11 on youtube. then someone one here say 11 weeks max, 7-9 hydro.

well i'm growing in hydro, and using canna full range, with canna boost accelerator its suppost to cut flowering by up to 20%, n now the possibility that younger plants may take longer to flower. hence im confused. i wanna flush for one week before harvest so just flush when 1/4 of the trics are amber? and not be too worried about the times?

ok so ive looked closer, and no neither of them have "little pods", im guessing it may have something 2 do with them being young + its probably a bit early to get worried.

i see a few people have grown WW on here before, from what breeder, i have seedmans, but want to have mr. nices "black widow" on hand for future grows/breeding. but yer for now if one of grew the seedman strain i would be very interested in the outcome.
