3 Weeks Flowering.

[Alborosie]

Hello , my royal queen ice has been flowering for 3 weeks and the problem is , I search for 3 weeks flowering plants and on all of the results the buds on the plants are huge and my is so small. The only thing I can think of is that it was not mature enough when I switched to flowering, it was only 22 days old maybe thats why . thanks

she's bushing out and yer growing in soil, and not giving it co2...its going to take longer to flower...expect a good 60-80 days to flower. The plant looks lush and healthy and growing at a normal pace. People use several techniques to accelerate growth, and you just witched to 12/12 3 weeks ago, it has a transition period going from veg to flower, so you'll start seeing more flowering going on soon

I cant put it outside for co2 , its very cold and the plant will freeze if I do that. What techniques ? 80 days that is very long lool I want it before christmas hehe

 

[resinousflowers]

[Alborosie]

Your plant looks nice my friend, I'm a noob and this is my first grow. I got 2 plants both exactly 3 weeks into flowering today. I am using SHIT lights so I have alot more stretch goin on. What kind of lights are you using on that girl? I JUST got tiny buds forming. I spend at least a half hour examining and tending to my babies before the lights go off and a half hour after they come back on. Maybe thats enough CO2 from me? I'll show you a couple pics if thats okay so you can see the difference.

your plant is barley starting to flower, its like 1.5 weeks into flowering at the most. you gotta change your npk ratios, the plant looks to be lacking in potassium(singed tips everywhere) and nitrogen(lime green color, and yellowing at the bottom).

i think ed rosenthals npk ratios for flowering = 1-2-2 or multiples of that ration.
the flowering ratios i use are anywhere from 2-3-4 to 1-3-5

 

[dirtysnowball]

your gonna get a nice harvest imo, how tall is it

 

[Alborosie]

This is my first photoperiod plant , I had only autoflowers before . Im using 3 30 watts cfl what about you ?
thanks

 

[Alborosie]

Let me tell you what I used , Normal soil and perlite , the first time i added any nutes was yesterday and it was miracle-gro pour and feed.
Where I live it was the only things I could get , and you said its yellowing at the bottom ? all the leaves are the same colour , maybe you said that because there was light coming from left side.
And I agree it looks like 1.5 weeks flowering . thanks

its around 65cm

oh wow I thought u might have been using HPS or MH. I got a t8 ballast above them with one cool and one soft white bulb and 2 26w CFLs one on each side to accommodate the lower sections. Atleast u got 3 for just one plant. I am WAYYYY under-lit here lol. I didn't plan on growing them though, I just found a couple bag seeds and decided to germinate them. Both ended up being female oddly enough so I decided to keep them. I have never grown anything before.

 

[Hypocrite420]

yea all I have been using is MG moisture control soil, MG tomato food (for veg) and MG Bloom Boost (for flower) MG transplant solution and Superthrive (each time I transplanted). My tallest one is probably about the same height, the smaller one is shorter but real bushy cuz I FIMed it at 2-3 weeks old.

I wanted to buy a 400w lamp but what Im going to spend with electricity using that would be better just buying weed from dealers.
I was growing it in a pc case where I have grown short rider and snow rider but this plant is too big for pc case so Im growing it normally lool
When i bought snow rider Attitude gave me free feminized seed and its the one Im growing now

 

[Hypocrite420]

awesome. I want to buy some nice seeds if I can finish these babies without killing them lol. You used attitude? Would you recommend them? yea I looked into a 250w HPS and you can find a good deal on them, but you are right it does seem like those things use too much power unless you plan on growing a whole room full and selling it doesnt seem logical for a small personal grow.

 

[Alborosie]

Yeah their seeds are great , both of them snow rider and royal queen ice germinated perfectly , I just used wet tissue hehe you should get some seeds from them
When Im older I will make a growroom with 1000w lamp lool

 

[Hypocrite420]

yea thats the way to do it, I live in the Washington D.C. area so I really dont want to play with a big operation. They SLAM the fuckin hammer down here on the laws. I would really love to leave this area but my girlfriend has 2 kids from another relationship out here so if we leave she will never see them ya know. I HATE the laws here. I have spent so much time in jail for dumb shit non-violent crimes.

No way man...400watt HPS if done right you can pull a pound dry every 3 months...the electricity used would only be about 20-30/month(basing on about .15 per kwh)...tis why we grow...for the price I pay for a 1/2 oz I can produce a pound...seems logical to me

 

[Alborosie]

That sucks man , but I think you cant get arrested for only one plant. Why dont you move to california ? my dream is to live there hehe
