Why are 2 plants not making flowers like the 3rd?

[Dirk8==D~Diggler]

These three WW autos from MSNL were all sprouted on the same day. They are on day 56 and supposedly only take “60” days from germination. I was thinking that really meant around 75 days. My question is why does it look like only one plant is producing flowers? They have had a rather stressful life (first grow, MANY mistakes) so they could have potentially turned hermie? I can’t see any seeds forming on the good plant. I also didn’t see any pollen sacs on the bad plants, just the little bud with the two white hairs sticking out.

Inconsistent genetics? It happens. The other two do look like they should start budding out any day now.

If those are at day 56 I hope you have a lot of patience man!

So you don’t think they hermed out? And Jesus I HAD patience, but between those not flowering and waiting for a month to get a Seedsman order it’s starting to run thin! Glad to hear they look like they’ll start flowering, I’m going to try to get some closer pics when I feed this morning to give you guys more to work with

My camera isn’t great but there are some close ups of the ones not flowering. If anyone could help me know if I keep trying with them or just rip them up

Ya, I see no sign that they've hermed. And when the plant starts getting those clustered, whispy, lighter colored leaves at the bud sites it's usually about to flower, so I'd wait it out. Unfortunately breeders flowering times are usually way off. I have a Seedsman NL right now that they said would be done in 70 days that's gonna roll 110 this weekend, and looks like it needs another week or two.

Thanks for the help. I did kind of think that if they do start flowering the whispy leaves are going to make the buds much bigger than the other plant that’s just filled with popcorn

Even that other plant should fill in quite a bit, depending on your setup. It's still really early in flowering and has a long ways to go. I can't imagine her finishing in anything less then 45 days from here, though I'm still learning autos myself TBH.

Yeah I knew that breeders lied but having a NL go almost twice as long as they say is absurd. And I’m under a HLG 135 QB. I thought I was close to flowering being done when I noticed my first pistils start changing color

For plants that haven't revealed sex cut them back to 12 hour days and 12 hours of dark. Takes around six days then you will see the results.

Even autos? And I feel like they have revealed sex because they have the sack with the two white hairs coming out of it (can’t remember what that’s called)

No, pistils will change colors throughout flowering for many strains, and I've noticed it even more in my autos. They will keep throwing new white ones while the older ones change colors.

Also, I think that other person who responded missed that your growing autos. I wouldn't go to 12/12, yours are definitely showing sex, they just aren't maturing very quickly.

Your right though, its one thing to be off by a couple weeks or so, but literally twice the expected flowering time is pretty annoying, especially when the stash is getting low!

Thanks for the help man. I’ll sit back and keep pumping them full of blume nutes until I see some results. I’m using emerald harvest, the guy at the hydro store told me to run them at 1/2 strength. I measured TDS and was at a really low level, like 300 ppm low. So about a week ago I switched to full strength and I’m hoping to see some improvements. I think I’ll go with the H3AD formula for my next grow, I stumbled upon it when I was looking for a better alternative to my current nutrient regimen.

I’m interested in how your Seedsman NL are doing. I ordered some Fastbuds from them and obviously got some of their freebies with it. I hear so many people preach about how important the genetics are and it made me wonder if running the Seedsman freebies is worth the time and space they will take up.

I'll definitely have a smoke report up for the NL when it's done over in my journal. Hopefully just a few more weeks. It's a gorgeous plant but it's trying my patience. I have their strawberry cheesecake autos too but wound up skipping over them because of this NL experience. I'm running all Mephisto and Wicked Pissah stuff once the NL and Asks are done. For autos anyways. Have a whole mess of photos going too.

This is one of her side buds from a couple days ago, day 105 I think.

Yeah just reading “day 105” for an auto didn’t register as being correct in my head lol that’s pretty absurd. Love the coloring though. I tried to find Mephisto gear, I wanted some so badly. But I couldn’t find them ANYWHERE, including their own website. It just wouldn’t work for me. I settled on Fastbuds and read on their website that the zkittlez can be as large as a football. And I believed it. Oh god how gullible was I, now I won’t trust a breeders info ever again (possibly excluding Mephisto, they seem like they have a great reputation). I’m still excited to pop the Fastbud beans, but I’m going into it with much lower expectations than when I bought them.

 

[Gentlemencorpse]

FastBuds have a great rep too. I think you'll do just fine with them. Mephisto is a pain in the ass to get sometimes, but hopefully they get the site stabilized soon. I had a hard time getting on too but still managed to snag a couple packs. I'm a huge star wars nerd and really wanted some Skywalker freebies so I refused to give up.

Thanks for talking to me dude. There’s a lot of good people on this site I’ve really been enjoying it
