i got two plants from a buddy when they were about a month and a half old. they where in small 1/2 gallon pots. i put them in 5 gal buckets as soon as i got them on june 26. i think they might of got root bound from the small pots cause they are only about 3 feet tall now. i have been using spectracide immunox every two weeks since i recieved them it was really humid in july. it has been three weeks since i have used it since they are flowering now. i started covering them in the evening on august 20 to force flowering (to try to let them finish before it gets to cold it got down to 39 last night but supposed to warm up a little for the next 7 days or so) so they are about 5 weeks into flowering i stopped covering after three weeks. i started using dr earth bud bloom when i started covering. this is my first grow so any help would be great. should i still be using the fungicide? should i stop with the dr earth? i will try to get some pics up within a few days. thanks everyone! getting ready to order my seeds for next year any suggestions on strain and from where do u order from?

i wouldn't "flush" them. i would start watering them with plain water though. they still look like they could go another 2 weeks.

no still got them out. had a frost the other night but i covered them weather looks good for the next 10 days so hopefully they will finish i will post a few pics in the morning still a few weeks away. i think if i can make it till around the 25th i will be pretty happy but not real sure if that will happen

Weather's been kinda wonky around these parts lately, but is there any way you can move them inside? When night time temps fall below 50, it's going to slow growth. If it gets colder, it could stress them or damage them. Got a light?

yeah i think they are alot farther away from being done than what i thought about a week ago. this is my first time so i could be completly wrong but i thought most plants finished between 60 and 75 days and 60 days would be october 20 the only reason i know days with them being outside is because i covered them to force flower just to try to get them to finish. i did just find out today that they are trainwreck clones. i have not looked up to see how long the flowering is on them yet. but im starting to wonder if they are not about a month or longer from finishing because all the hairs are still mostly white. i am really trying to get some pics but i just moved and i am not sure what box my camera is in. this is kind of off subject but came across some blue dream a few days ago and that is some tasty smoke!!
