macsmoke24 · Mar 20, 2010

hi all this sativa has been on 12/12 for 6 weeks now,and she is only just starting to go into flower,the seeds where free from a seedbank.they say they are ww but im'e no so sure about that,what do you all think,is it just a slow starter and she will come on strong now or not? allso i hear about domanant sativas any ideas on that,all input welcome,thanks.

it looks good. remember sativas take longer you are looking at 9 to 14 weeks. remember if there is light leaking into your grow room when its lights out can cause the plant to slow down. try going in the room when the lights are off and see if you have light leaking in. thats usually the reason for slow flowering. make sure you have a bulb or two within the right kelvin readings. for veggie you want like 6500k and for flower you want 2700k or around there. bulbs with 2700k is the red light of the spectrum and tells the plant its time to flower. ur plant looks nice though. try mixing 2 tablespoons of syrup or molassses with a 2 liter of water and water your plant with it. when i did it my buds doubled in size in 2 days. good luck

i forgot to add,the plants are a bit stretched because i had other plants in the flower room and had to keep lights at a higher height than i would of liked,and allso had some nute burn but flushed them and i think all is well now.could they have been a bit stressed and slowed down flowering.the plant you can see in the pic next to this is only 3-4 days of harvest so don't think it is really unhealthy just nearly ready for harvest,thanks.

Looking good man. How long did you flower before you started your 12/12

macsmoke24 · Mar 20, 2010

only vegged for 3 weeks.

so do you think all is well then,just a case of being patient and wait and see.

Yes, sativas are notoriously slow finishers. Judging by the looks of her now, I'd say you've got at least 4-6 more weeks for that baby, probably more like 6-8 weeks. Looks like a nice healthy plant though, and your yield should be quite nice by the size of her. Have patience and she will reward you in time.
