This is our first operation, and it has been going well. We were very fortunate in that we had 25 clones practically fall into our laps, consisting of "White Rhino", "Sweet Tooth", and "AK-47". Now, i'm not too sure if That's what they really are (could be made up names), but the "Sweet Tooth" shows classic Indica qualities, and the "AK-47" are defitely Sativas, while the "White Rhino" could be either, but I'm leaning more on the Indica side for those plants (We have the Grow Bible for reference).
Now, I have heard that sativas and indicas have different grow schedules, and I'm beggining to see that. We're into the sixth week of bloom, and they're looking pretty nice. The "Sweet Tooth" are nice and squatty, and denser than stone. "White Rhino" are also very dense, but are growing higher than "ST". But our "AK-47" have grown taller and more spinedly than the others, and the buds are really spaced out. I understand that sativas can take longer to grow to full bud than indicas, so my question is: How long is too long for indica plants?
I just want my "AK's" to be able to catch up with our other plants, so I was thinking a week or two more of nutrients should help alot. But our indica plants' pistils are already turning armber, and some even look almost orange, so we're thinking we might want to start flushing in the next couple days here.
But can a bud get too ripe? Does it it start too rot, or lose potency?
Or perhaps it's something else? I've also read that most sativas require less nutrients then most indicas, but we've been feeding everyone equally (GH Flora Series schedule, one per watering, every other day, in Promix(?) Organic soil). Could that be it? In which case, would flush maybe help to trigger growth more growth in our sativas? However, they don't show any other signs of nutrient lock out, or salt buildup.
Any help would be much appreciated. I'm sorry I don't have any photos, cameras on the fritz.
