Well lads, the weather has finally improved! my plants have been stuck in slow pre flower stage for what feels like an eternity! Finally back on track now and showing signs more bud growth. Hows everyone else looking? This is my first grow and they're lookin ok I think. When should I expect to harvest? Feel like theyre takin ages, just have a bunch of pistils per bud site.
What set up do u lads have? Ive jus got three in my greenhouse. Are we all outdoors here??!

Well the older leaves often yellow and collapse once flowering begins, its normal, just so long as it is the older ones and it is hapening generally from the bottom upwards. If it is hapening at the top or to new leaves or all over than it could be something else, nute burn for example.
As for specific advice on indicas, I'm not too sure about that, I know my limits! But I'm sure there are loads of dudes on here who can give u advice.

So here are a few pics, they've been stuck in this stage for over a month! Anyone think I'm running out of time in terms of day length? Is mid October usually harvest time, cus if these things don't get their bloom on soon it could be bad!

unless you are growing a strain that can handle low temperature at night then they are not going to do to well in this country try bringing them in at night think night time temps are getting down to bout 5c in this country at the moment which is not to good it slows growth and in some casees bring it to a halt altogether.
try a strain that can handle the cold and flowers early.

Spam spam spam I want some more spam!! :lol: green eggs and spam plz!

Have u fellows ever heard of "Solartubes"? They install them from the exterior roof to your ceiling, and of course, it's a tube. It has a round dome on top, low profile and is the tube is reflective. It's an easy way to brighten any room quickly and cheaply, completely passive.
I was thinking a large one might be able to handle a pretty good sized plant. You can seal the ceiling end with a cap so no light comes out and conceals the plant.

Just a rough idea but some you wintering chaps might benefit. Surely if it did work, you would be finishing inside one right now.... rain be danged..... <----uh buggered?
