Hey! I'm new to growing and a medical patient in Rhode Island. I was given seeds by a local long time grower but he told me he was unsure of the exact strain of te seeds. Due to being laid of and other issues I did not have the money to set up an indoor grow so I decided to try growing a few outside.
I started the plants outside in mid may and moved them to 7.5 gallon plastic pots in the beggining of June. I thought that these pots would be their final destination. The plants were fine and very healthy until I returned from a 4 day vacation in the beggining of July in which the plants started to show signs of a problem. The leaves were browning along the middle veins then brown spots would spread throughout until the leave was dead. This was mostly all on older fan leaves. I eventually figured it must be a mag deficncy and trusted with a cal mag product.
During this time I lost a few plants to a ground hog and a lot of leaves from the deficiency. I decided I need to transplant the remain 4 plants into 10 gallon smart pots on July 27th and the plants took a few days to get back on track. Due to not knowing the exact strain I have had to kind of guess as to what these plants like and don't like a lot! They look like mostly indica although a couple have a purple hue and slightly different look.
My question is shouldn't a mostly indica strain have started to flower earlier than mid August here? It seems like other people's plants in the area are further along flowering. I have gone though a lot to end up with what I have now and I'm affraid my plant won't finish before frost. I'm just a bit concerned the deficiency or maybe something else delayed flowering.
