Flowering question

Ive got a lovely indica dominant lady flowering for 2 weeks on friday....I'm feeding her hydroponic-research veg+bloom nutes (I believe I mixed 2 tsp per gallon of water) she is under 12/12 lights .....how long until I start to see the finish line , that is, wen will my girl start to bear juicy delicious funky fruit!? Any way to speed her up and what should I do to increase potency of buds in these final stages? Also what should u do to maximize my yield also?! I wasn't for certain I even had a girl until after first week of 12/12 I noticed preflowers n pistils popping up everywhere, so I didn't research any potency And yield techniques..... Thanks guys.....will try to get pics up tomorrow

It happens before you know it.. how long did you veg? It will be ready in 5-9 weeks.. and I wouldn't try to speed her up too much or you might upset her...

Don't forget that Indica genetics flower up to 8-10 weeks So in about 2 weeks your calyxes will really swell.

Nothing you can do to speed them up, and potency is purely genetics assuming your growing conditions are on point. There's not a whole lot you can do to increase it since you've started flowering already. But try training it to where lower budsites receive more light.

supercrop that bitch NOW!!

I vegged for several months i think i started back in april.....Growing conditions were not 100% ideal i figure i should get a pretty decent smoke maybe a half oz or so, shes a fairly small bushy plantAnd im gonna look into super cropping, what is the best way to do that?!

You'll start to see flowers soon but they really swell up the last couple weeks to a month before they're ready? To super crop you take your tallest growth tips and just below them pinch them with your fingers( kinda roll them with the stem in between until it gives) then pinch them 90 degrees the other way. The stalk should be soft at the spot you do it and your stalk will bend over. This lets the lower branches catch up with the taller ones and makes it much bushier.

snap her neck like she talked bad about yo momma lol jk.

i dont think youll want to do that it will slow or even stress her and thats how you get hermies why do ppl suggest this idk try low stress training first does the same thing creates multiple bud sites same as scrog hell some plants like mine i just push sideways to let more light thru the canopy but its ur call lol

People have been super cropping for a pretty long time, if done correctly and if grow room conditions are ideal you won't get a hermie from it.

True. I'm new (first grow), and I supercropped one of my plants to try it out, even ruptured the main stalk. She grew hella fat at that snap point and rebounded in one day. Now she is a thick little momma full of flowers and no seeds. Just my experience.

BUT, I supercropped during veg. I wouldn't supercrop during flowering.
OBIWAN, at this point I wouldn' supercrop. That kind of stress can probably fuck with hormones at this stage of the game. Right now hormones are what are driving your lady into flower. Unnecessary and excessive stress could tip the scales towards some male hormone production, which even if it didn't cause a full fledged hermie, could fuck around with your potency. No one wants that.

Again, I'm a newb, but that' what I've been learned. haha

So i fucked up bad this morning.....i got of bed half sleep at 6am just as my lights were coming on for the day and i started the LST i figured id go with tying the branches back instead of super cropping, i got the main stalk tied dwn so there is a slight curve. I went to tie dwn a branch on the top node wen i noticed that i was inadvertantly pullin the same direction the branch grows off tha stalk resulting in me splitting the stalk at the top node....to give a better visual (posting from my phone so i cant upload the pics) my top node is similar to tha letter Y and i split the stalk right btween the two arms about a half inch long

I tied the split so the stem with string to hold it together n hopefully heal the plant back to one piece..... How will this affect my flowering?! What should i do? Or did i trip myself up at tha finish line?!

Bumpity bump

anybody out there? she seems to still be going strong

You should be fine. You're growing a weed after all, they're incredibly hardy plants. If shes still looking well I would say you're in the clear.

well thats another way of topping

thanks yea ive been checkin on her more often now and she seems to still b going strong, i was just afraid that this would b too much stress and cause her to herm on me.......but ive seen the number of pistils almost triple in the 2 days since it happened, idk if thas normal for this phase of flowering (friday was week 2 of flowering) or if she went into overdrive to get ready to reproduce


and funny u say its another form of topping, should i remove the string i tied around it to hold it together or leave it there?

Too bad you don't know what you're talking about. You can supercrop all the way up to harvest day.
