of coarse we cant see up close but in my opinion those plants are still going. A close up shot would show the maturing you speak of. From the pic I see bright white hairs and about 3 weeks left to go.
One thing you all are forgetting that I just realized. Once I started taking the time to grow from seed and sexing I realized all my growing problems stopped immediately. No spidermites, no molds or other deseases. When you take a clone from a friend or shop, you take on ALL the problems...
Look for bunches of those little balls. They hang like fruit when about to open. Bananas u will see later in flower. If you see hanging balls castrate that bitch and get rid of it. sacks will open very fast and it takes only one.
It look to me like it hungry or overwatered (because the droop) The leaves are wide like a kush, similar to Bubba (by the way I grew tons of Bubba before I lost my genetics) When your light is too far away from your plant and sometimes a starving plant will stretch. I do agree it looks a...
Keep it up, dont listen to nay sayers because at one time they were new at it too. Im on my 4'th year growing indoors and I still screw up sometimes. So press on and learn from your mistakes........(which it sounds like you did)
Grow it up ------>smoke it up!
Molassos is a great alternative to the incredibly over priced bud densers that idiots fall for. Use balckstrap unsulphured and mix 1tpsp to gallon of water. Works good in veg too if growing more organic.
Respecting your parents is respecting yourself, if your parents specifically told you no (I really dont think they were asked) then it would be disrespecting to the fullest point. But keep in mind if you get busted and your parents are in control of the home IT can be taken and parents...
You can buy window mounted vents to fit inside the open parts to vent out. If you can cut in the ceiling and through the roof and vent out that way it would be a better route.
You know, I have to say for week 5 of flowering something isnt right. Are you using cfl's? I run a 1,000 HPS and at week 5 my plants are falling over. Heres a pic.....Sorry about the light on.
Well, I think it would really freak out the plants uless done more like the sun. Start your cooler lights first, in a few hours your HPS kicks on, then let it run for a few hour then it goes off and the cooler ones remain on for the rest of the cycle. This may create a sun rise/set effect...
