Hi all new here. I have some girls in flower been in for nearly 13 weeks now (trainwreck).
And some (scot og) in the same room.
Being grown in 11l pots in coco coir
All have been topped. Under 2 600w lights in a 2.4 x 1.2 tent.
Environment is good stays around 22c -26c tops.
Good air flow
I had to expose them to bit off light during dark period but not alot.

The scot og is a 9w strain and only just starting to be ready to harvest, But looking nice.


The trainwreck is an 11w flower And looking like its on week5. Has had a growth vertical and more bud sites, haven't spotted any balls yet. Have about 5 off them some doing better then others. But none are getting dense. All hairs are white sticking up. Plants them selfs seem healthy.
Should I cut my loses and harvest?
Or could I repot into a 30l pot and keep in darkness for 24hrs and hope it reverts back to flower.
They have potential to do really well and unsure what to do. Picture is the worse plant affected and about a week old

You have nothing worth harvesting and you seem impatient
Those plants need about 6-8 weeks before they fatten up
Good luck and Welcome to RIU :weed:

Not on that one I don't lol Others don't look as bad.
But yeah why I asked that question I need the space. Never had this issue before if it needs another 8 weeks thats nearly double the time they should off took

There was 2 power cuts so over the space of maybe 2 weeks I'd say probs about 4hours
How would power cuts expose them to light? Did you have to open the tent up due to lack of ventilation?

That amount of light shouldn't do anything unless they were exposed to 15 minutes of light in the middle of the dark period over the course of those 2 weeks.

The plant in front in the second picture looks somewhat reveggy. I can't tell

Yes I'd say so. How would I revert them bk to flower? Would this affect yeild and quality
Like I said I can't tell from those pictures. I'm going by the look of the plant that you said has been flowering for 13 weeks. You don't really say how often and for how long you exposed them to light during lights out. But if you were going in regularly in the middle of the dark period over the course of time you could very well have confused the plant and it might not reveg but stay in a state of semi flowering for awhile.

That plant doesn't look like it's been flowering for 13 weeks. I've had 20 week sativas that were much farther along at 13 weeks. Something isn't right.

Check your timer.

Thank you for advise , if this is the case will it sort its self out after a few weeks and continue to flower or should I scrap them off

I'm not going to advise you to scrap anything. I'm just saying something isn't right at 13 weeks of flowering. I've had plants reveg in the middle of flowering and corrected the light hours issue I had and finished them out. I wasn't impressed with the end result or the time it took and will never do it again. My plants had gone into full reveg which doesn't appear to be the case with yours.

When I had an issue in flowering and decided to keep going I had plants in the veg room ready for the flower room and clones in the cloner ready to start vegging. The time it took ended up backing everything else up and turned into a logistical nightmare. That's just my experience but if that plant starts flowering fully you're looking at another 8 weeks.

dude, quit messing with the light cycles, even if the power goes out. agree with @xtsho something isnt right, this isnt adding up. Also, that doesnt look like a legit trainwreck, unless its from CSI it probably isnt real. I've been running Trainwreck for almost 2 years now and it usually finishes in less than 60 days, not 11 weeks
