This is my first grow and for some reason im thinking there really small for 5 week flower and only half the plants top buds and side arms have started to join together, the others are just seperate buds still ??? Hopefully they will fill out in the final weeks.its not the nutes because there perfect, its not the air intake or outlet ?? The plants look absolutely fine and are really healthy just smallish buds for 5 week

need more info and possibly some pics... technically your only 3 weeks into flower, but don't worry they will start to fatten up in the upcoming weeks

Cheddaman, you'll eventually get more and more patient.. the more you grow, the more patience you will gain. I use to be the most impatient person before I started growing 4 years ago... but now, 4 years later... I've actually learned how to be more patient with things.. including life. So, really.. growing cannabis has helped me more than just one way.. its helped me in many areas of life.

Anyhow, the more experience you get.. and as you become more and more experienced.. the more patience you will gain. Patience while growing cannabis.. is key to having a successful grow and harvest.

You'll get what I mean eventually.. one day you'll know what I was talking about on this day. ;)

Good luck!

peace.

a few weeks from now your going to thinking why did i ask this question you will be having to tie them up to hold the weight,also do not belive half the things you see regarding peoples buds some are photoshoped or stolen pics,

also as max said i never count the first 14 days of flower as i belive they go through transition phase the breeders guidelines may say 8 weeks etc but that is the time to start looking out at your trichs DO NOT HARVEST BY HAIR COLOUR,climate an touching your buds an pollenation can change hair colour,

get a jewelers loupe 30x mag take a sample of a frosty leaf into a well lit area an check the colour of your trichs you want milky colour for a head high but if you like more of a couchlock high then start to flush when you see a few amber trichs an the rest are milky,
if you see nothing but amber trichs then the thc content is starting to degrade

Ill give you a little brake down for flowering might help you not pull your hair out by the way your doing good just hang in there smoke a lot and let them be. week by week of flowering brake down
week 1 plant slows down growth
week 2 first flowers appear at nodes
week 3 veg growth continues and the plant will grow about 20 to 50% lager then when it started flowering
week 4 veg growth stops and plants energy goes toward flowering also will start to smell odor
week 5 flower growth increases, become thicker also more trichomes are present and more odor
week 6 flower growth slows for some varieties and continues for others (all about strain here)calyx begin to swell
week 7 calyxes sweel more too alsmost bursting, trichomes are erect and the caps swell with resin, maturing
week 8 flowers are ripe and reach peakiness
week.........mmmmmmmm good times be all

as for sativa just stretch this out a bit but same idea
also for increased harvest weight of the buds by about 20% start adding sugar during the last 6 weeks this will increase soil microbials enhance regrowth and make the plant use nitrogen more effective molasses raises energy levels and acts like a mild natural fungicide, it the secret ingredient in most organic fertilizers

you rekon ? im still thinkin its slow growth me! iv been giving each plant 1 n a half litres of water everyday whilst they have been in flower do yo think that may slow the ripening down due to water log ? or maybe its the room size; 10v plants in a 9ft x 4ft room ? or maybe even rootbound , but there in 10 gallon pots and the plants only stand around 3 1/2 ft tall ruffly ? after all i am a absolute novice in this game so its all just knowledge i have picked up from the internet and basically just common sense


be great to hear a few suggestions too ease my mind ?????????

im using canna coco a & b bloombastic for the bloom.....the ph is all good so i no it aint that what the fuk could it be people?????????

me lol ????

when you water, water till about 20% has run out the bottom of the pots. Then let the soil completely dry out before watering again. Your slower growth is probably due to overwatering.

thanks again max its been doin my head in bigtime!!!! you must have been there oneday lol.....iv fed them today and there never dry the next day when it comes to feedin time so im just guna leave them to suck up all the nutrients in the feed they have left from today and leave them for at least 2 days.....good idea mate ???? please say!!!!

ya you def wanna let the soil dry out. By doing this your roots actually grow because they are growing to look for more water and with a better root system you have a healthier plant. Don't know the exact scientific term for it but that's what happens
