hey man dont worry Im at day 12 of flower I agree things get a little slow growth wise but soon they'll just start budding everywhere quicker and quicker till you harvest :) I topped one of my plants because its top had burnt from the light and it has many beautiful tops now! I plan to flower one topped just to see if it has more weight than the others. I'll post when things get interesting.

after 7 days of my last post, here is the day 38 of flowering

the things are getting slow, it's obvious that i have a problem, heat is one of them, considering i leave the vent on 24/7, is still warm in my closet. next time i'll grow in basement where is 20 C always! and higher humidity. and second, and here i'll let the specialists to tell their opinion, is because i did topped the plants twice.

i'm in 45 day of flowering, and there's not much changes, on the package they say 45-50 days for flowering. i can wait another 5 days, and harvest...... i don't think they can recover. they are too little, and i don't think i'll put together more then 30 grams. anyone knows if this can happen because of heat stress? should i leave them in flowering for more then 5 days? some pistils are getting brown, but i don't know if they are getting brown because harvest is close, or because something isn't right.

heya...just stumbled on yer thread ands skimmed through it. Forgive me if I ask redundant shit!

um...how far above the plants is yer 400? In the pic it looks from the shadow that it's pretty far above em. Did you raise it for the pic or is it there all the time?

I would WAIT to harvest if it were me. I'd drop the light down on 'em a good bit...and I'd get a fan to blow between the tops of the plant and the light...I'd then water em with plain water...and give em time to ripen. Ignore the red pistls...especially if you think you have a heat issue. Get a scope/loupe and look at the crystals/trichomes...and when those are milky and amber colored vs. crystal clear..chop em down

*no matter what the package says* they aren't *finished* flowering until this happens.

good luck

I wouldn't go by what's on the package. get yourself a good magnifier at radio shack and check trichomes. You might have pushed back the harvest date by the stress and whatever you did to your plant....good luck.

Hey man just stopping by. It seems to me your girls aren't getting enough light. Either way, those don't look ready to me yet, maybe another 10-15 days. But definitely get a magnifying glass.
