Plant done budding?

About 9-10 weeks ago, I took 2 of my babies that were getting stretched out, and started flowering them. I started flowering them alot earlier then i wanted, but i didnt want them to stretch so far that they couldnt hold buds.

Like I said, its been somewhere between 9 and 10 weeks of flowering, and since about the 7th week, I havent seen any more growth from the existing buds or new buds on different nodes. Do you think because of the lack of recent growth, that they may have reached their full potental?

I used some bloom boost on them to see if it would help, but ive used it twice over the last 2 weeks and still nothing. Is there a limit that an under developed plant can reach? Or should it keep growing like normal? Im jus curious cuz if its done, i jus assume get ready and hang her....

edit: I can take pics if you want, but I figured its a simple enough question...
 
they may be done
pics would be greart
you have to flush and wait before you cut
what you using for lights
75% of hairs should be brown
 
yo weezer, before I go on i jus wanna thank u, cuz of the last 3 or 4 threads ive made in the last week, you've given me some sort of answer on all of them, i appreciate your time.

when i first started my grow, i was using only flourescents. But I got a couple spot gro lights that have worked wonders for my plants. I kept the flourescents but placed them sideways on the wall to help get the lower leaves a little extra light....ima go take a couple pics for ya, brb
 
here are a few pics ...

theyre prolly finished growing, they just need to mature a lil bit more. i harvested mine late as hell so i have a super sleepy stone, but harvest in another week or so depending on the type of high you want.

you are wecome for the help
i hope it all helped
you got some long hairs thier
when your lights are offdoes it say dark for the whole time ,or are are you takeing midnight vists..
are thier any light leaks?
 
Im about 99 percent sure theres no leaking light....I leave them off all 12 hours. I jus recently moved them to a bigger closet, I had my girlfriend go in the room when the doors closed and lights off while I hung a black curtain over the door and she said it was completely dark, no leaking light anywhere...

but idk if something may have slipped her.
 
Look at his leafs guys, he has spider mites or some other bugs, they have spots all over the place. Also they show you have overdone ferts because the leaf tips are burnt. Flush flush flush. Too much ferts to the point you have burnt the tips stalls growth too.

Bugs are sucking all the fluids out of your plants and keeping them from getting any bigger. It's too late now to do much about that though, just let them finish and check the trichomes to see when they turn cloudy. It's a far better method to know when they're done than going by the color of the hairs.

Don't use any hard bug sprays or bombs now, that will end up in your smoke and make it taste like crap as well as being very bad for the smoker. You could try Safer brand bug spray but avoid soaking the buds and try to just get the leaves only. I would just say F it, and leave it natural though.

When your crop is done you will then need to do some serious cleaning and bug bombs before starting up again. I do a full bleach wash down, a full array of bombs to all rooms including adjoining rooms, and then a week later another round of bombs, and maybe even a third round while starting the new plants.
 
well mlov
i would flush 3 water to 1 soil
so if you have 5 liters of soil than flush with 15 litres of water.
than harvest in obout 10 days
if you have some black strape mollasasa you can feed them that a couple times
1 tablespoone per gallon

i dont think you have bugs...
asure as i can be looking at a pic
those spots are not are not from bugs
they are eithier from a lack of too much nute or not enuff
yes he has nute burn
but he is probly not feeding a balance diet
dont spray any shit on them
 
I noticed the leaves, but I was thinking he sprayed the leaves - too close to lights and leaves burnt where the water droplets were, he did a foliar feed and his nutes were too strong, or he sprayed the leaves with a chemical to get rid of bugs and burnt them with chemicals? It was just weird the way the spots looked, mainly near the middle of the leaves. It didn't really look like bugs were attacking - then again I'm having a little trouble focusing my eyes right now.
 
I didn't think of foliar feeding nute burn, you could be right. Still I would get out a magnifying glass and look very carefully for bugs on the underside of the leaves just to be sure. Confirm for us whether or not you sprayed anything on the leaves that would leave those spots please.
 
yeah...i can tell you that i do use alot of nutes. Because of the fact that they started so weak cuz of the horrible lighting I was using, I tried to give them a kick in the ass. Those spots on the leaves are burns cuz i jus recently started spraying it again with water. I have 3 other plants in the room that are a little over a week into flowering that are looking really nice. Full of greenery.

I have the bug problem under control, Ive been spraying once a week for a while now. I pay pretty close attention to that. All in all, i was jus curious about that particular plant since It hadnt grown at all in a couple weeks...this is my first grow and i have the 3 other ladies still to go....
 
Spraying with water alone won't cause those spots, but maybe the bug spray could, or if you did do any foliar feeding with nutes in the water you are spraying. Don't make your buds taste like crap and toxic with bug spray this late.

How long did you veg for, you may have started flowering too early by the look of it
 
I can tell you that I definatly did start flowering that particular one early, because it was stretching alot and getting to the point where there was going to be no bushyness -- and it would have been alot harder for the stretched stems to support buds

Get a fan blowing on them to strengthen the stems, another option if you're getting too much stretch may be some low stress training (LST). I've found a fan can work wonders. You don't need something that'll blow them over, a nice little breeze will work.
