Do these look normal?

Week 7 into flower.
They seem loose and not getting bigger. Im expecting these calyx to swell up. Might be a landrace from the carribean. Must be mostly stativa. Opinions and advice much appreciated.

Sorry, looks like week genetics. Definitely sativa so normally a longer flower but those somehow look mostly mature. What do the trichomes look like?

Is it an outdoor grow? Not sure it will get firmer buds without strong light

Agree on the weak genetics. Going to look for a magnifying glass or loupe today. Will post pics.


What r u feeding? Week 7 do you have other pics?
Alternating tap water (7.4 pH) and fox farm tiger bloom (6.0 pH). I have a lot of pics. Anything in particular I should take a pic of that could give some better insight?

I think it is fine. My sativa did that on an outdoor grow and i let it go for 16 WEEKS. It was worth the wait.
16 weeks! That’s 9 more weeks. I’d be looking at 2nd week of January 2021. I’m in the lower north east. My state just voted to legalize recreational.

Yes outdoor. I build a small green house using the white 55% opaque 4mm plastic. I keep it inside at night and rainy days. Placed a small heater inside to keep it warm when it gets cold. At this time of year there’s barely any sun hitting it. I’d bring it inside but not sure it’s worth the $1000 indoor grow set up. I’d probably be better off purchasing better seeds and starting a new grow indoors. Time to go research indoor setups. Then convince the lady of the house.

I was going to say foliage looks like high PH. Using Bloom alone won’t help you with this strain. It looks of pure sativa my friend - a delicacy

In the beginning I was adjusting the pH. I would use a small amount of the fox farm grow big. It’s acidic and just a teaspoon to a gallon of tap water was giving me 6.5ish pH. Then I repotted and added the espoma acidic pH addendum. Figured it’ll save me the trouble of adjusting each watering.
-What should I be adding to the watering as at this point?
-Is it worth the effort and cost?
-Without the perfect lighting will nutes alone carry me through flower with better buds in the end?
-would defoliating at this stage be beneficial? Considering less light I’m think the extra leaves help?

Probably need some more K. Maybe I’ll pick up the potash addendum and top dress.

Landrace Sativa's can go 16 - 22 weeks in flower and never really produce fat buds
Back in the day Colombian gold used to come heavily seeded and hardly a bud
But it was wicked good
There is a tendency to hermie in land race genetics that was the reason so many bred hybrids to stop that and shorten flower times
Yours actually look pretty good with a long ways to go

It's hard to say... Not sure of the strain or lighting.

Landraces generally like 13 hours of light. Without better than ideal lighting you will be flowering for even longer than we are all thinking.

Removing some lower small growth will help at this stage. As mentioned you have a long ways away :eyesmoke: :peace:

Local nursery was out of potash. They had some ff beastie blooms. 0-50-30. Pickup up a 6 oz. for $30. Got home and checked amazon. $20. All I wanted was a $7 bag of potash and somehow I spent 4x that. They also had a bottle ff pH up and bottle of pH down. Both were $30 each.

Makes me wonder how this ff makes these nutes.

From your last photos and leading up to now, I would guess another 5 weeks minimum. you will have to be especially careful of mildew or mold under sugar leaves. Main colas may have to be picked earlier because they will finish before the rest of plant. Stop feeding on 2 weeks.
