Yo is my plant budding already??!

So I got a strong northern lights plant sitting in amend soil for fun. This plant is going strong despite all the challenges it’s faced lol. I just noticed white hairs in my plant and I’m wondering if it’s starting to bud due to the light cycle? I live in oahu, Hawaii so if anyone has any advice lmk thanks guys!

Looks like it.

That plant has struggled because the medium you have it in is not conducive to growing weed.

What’s a good soil medium you would recommend for outdoors?

"going strong" is a bit of a stretch unless its about 10 days old

I dont know what you have in Hawaii. But I use recipe 420. You need something with proper drainage and aeration. A good organic soil with 30% perlite is the generic answer

It’s about 2 weeks old bro

What you think about this one homie?

1. Make sure mom's ok with it.
2. Get rid of those steel death traps.
3. That Sunshine Mix is basically inert, so figure out what you're gonna feed them.

Hawaii is humid so fabric pots would work sweet. Oh, and I love Oahu man. Learned to scuba dice there when I was 12.

Yep, your plant is flowering because our days never get longer than 14 hours. You wont really be able to get plants much bigger than that without using lights. Also, that Kellogg's amend soil is an absolute waste of money and will not grow plants. If you're serious about this hobby, spend $20 on a bag of specialty soil from oahu garden supply or the hydro shop in kahala, if shes still there. I'm sure theres other shops too, but lowes does not have what you need at this point in your grow career.

Also, come check out the Hawaii outdoor thread to see how your neighbors are doin it: https://rollitup.org/t/hawaii-growers.56670/

Just starting using this SS#4 myself this round... I like it.

Then why ask if it’s budding?

What nutrient line are you using now? Still GH?

Yeah.. the Trio.... that's it. I've decided that my well water has plenty of CA.. IF I need MG in early veg, I'll just do a epsom salt foliar spray at lights out a couple of times.

You could add the Epsom to the feed water too like Ren does. But I know foliar works faster.

I've got plenty of Ca in my well water too so I've gotta be careful what I add since it can build up in my reused soil. My ppm is only like 140 though, so it's not bad water, just high in Ca.

And I do try to add extra Mg to keep the Ca:Mg more inline. Epsom and Langbeinite are good, but I'm becoming a fan of Langbeinite lately. That's for soil though. But when I mess with the GH and coco I'm gonna add Epsom.

Mine is like ~320ppm out of the well. Lots of minerals in it tho besides CA... thanks again for the CO free water LOL!

With the current weather we're experiencing.... Im still pumping out 20,000 gallons a day on the lawn.... granted, my lawn is pretty large, but after looking at the forecast, Im gonna have to bump that up to 30,000 or so.
