so if a golden thai can do it why cant something else?basically contradicting what you said. soooo all the people ive talked to are all wrong? people have seen it take up to 21 days at least to show signs of sex. i seriously doubt u have grown every strain with every possible stress happen to it. if u were right my GWS would be showing signs of flowering right now , but its not and my pure kush is steadily showing more every day... just my 2 cents.I suppose a 16 week Golden Thai would take an excessive amount of time to show pistils, but in 12 years of growing I've never seen a plant go more than 14 - 17 days after switching to 12/12.
20-30 days? No.
I have checked everything twice, light schedule is right on the money. I have looked the girls over again from top to bottom. I am going to give it a couple more days and see what happens. If nothing changes I will start over again. I have kept a journal everyday, so the days in flowering are correct, beginning with the first day of 12/12 lights. Some could call that pre-flower and perhaps I should not count that as days of flowering. Thoughts?im on day 16 on 12/12 and one of my great white shark as yet to show anything. my other strain is growing more hairs every day. ive been told this is normal too. it can take like 20-30 days to show signs .
Hugo Phurst, no light at all, all pumps and power sources on the outside of the grow box.No light at all? No "power on" lights, indicators?
I would hope that perhaps you are correct. Auto by mistake seems unlikely, but you never know. I will give them a couple more days. By the way I have some WW auto I just got, what is your experience with autos?no sign is a good thing at his point ,females tend to take longer to show their sex ,males show first so they can produce pollen and be ready to impregnate the nearby females,but Ive always seen signs in the 14 day range too,males always first in my experiences,I would let em go,they might of gave you autos in error,my autos took around 25 days to flower
Smokinrav, Alright I replaced the timer as you have suggested, so that should be taken care of.I still think its a timer issue. You need to replace it. That thing is going on in the middle of your 12/12 dark cycle when you're not watching.
Best thing is, it's a cheap and easy switch out just to be sure.
I also agree that it's not such a bad thing that no pistils are showing. You're in a stasis place right now, and all the flowering potential is still there as long as the plant stays healthy.
If she's overgrowing your box and not showing pistils, feel free to trim her back.
hey man how r ur plants? im on day 19 flowering and i think im starting to see something finally, ill see within next few days tho for sureSmokinrav, Alright I replaced the timer as you have suggested, so that should be taken care of.
She is over growing the box in height, my lights are a max height and she is touching them. I am thinking about LST, tying down the tops to 90 degrees or so to get more time and room. I probably will trim some of the lower growth, she has plenty of fan leaves that will remain. This is Day 53 and Day 26 of 12/12. Right now I am running 2700K red spectrum T5's two bulbs, hope that is enough light for her. My PH ave. holds at about 5.8 to 6.0. Rez temp about 77 F and box temp ave about 80 to 85F.
There may be the beginning of some pistels, hard to tell at this point. I will take some update pics today.
