The guy with the 6ft lady!

Okay as most of you know I have a 6ft lady (White Widow) that is 6ft + tall and It looks like a plant I've never seen before other then a X-Mas tree. So about 2 weeks ago I transplant my girl from a 8in bucket to a 5 gallon bucket. (yes i know I should have done it sooner) but anyways this girl is not budding!! I have her under a 400w HPS and 216w Flour and 4x 20 watt CFLs. I have a ton of light for this plant. I am giving her Tiger bloom nutes and shes sitting in fox farm soil. I know your thinking WTF too. so its been over a month and 3 weeks sense this thing has been started 12/12. All i can see is white hairs. the temp is 79-84. The light is hanging a foot above the plant and the flour is hanging in front of it sideways and the 20 watt cfl's are all around it. So My question to you today is Why is my plant not "F" ing budding! If you need more detail please let me know. Comments Comments Comments please Lets figure this out.


P.S. There is not a Light leak.



Pictures are crap but do your best to see please. Thanks to all whoam help!

By looking at it, and what you've stated, I think its not getting enoght light ABSORPTION. The leaves are might thin, and this may inhibit the a out of photosynthesis necessary to perform normal function at normal durations. Also, because you transplanted a bit later than recommended, your lady is paying you back by taking longer to bud...karma...nature can b a beeotch.

This is normal, the majority of the flowering process happens fast and at the end weeks of flowering, From what i have studied the plant isnt really even in flowering till 2-3 weeks after 12/12, Patience and you will see nugs soon enough, Just dont disturb the light cycle and its all gravy,

its been two weeks sense transplant but its been almost 2 months of 12/12

it should have an increase bud production very soon...if not in the next two weeks, all I can advise is be patient. Other than that, it would be your call.

so about to more weeks and if it doesnt start showing something I'll post pics and see what people think. I started an auto grow in another room because this plant is taking way to long. I'm thinking im waisting my time but Idk. How much bud do you think this will produce? ive never grown like this before I have no clue why it looks like a tree

Has she been losing leaves lately or was she always that sparse?

I think your plant got rootbound, too big of a plant with too small & dense of a rootball. It happened to me, now I transplant to 5 gal before I start flowering.

looks like once it fills out it will produce lots of bud because of its size and its worth your time dont worry

You never know with these things. It could EXPLODE in the next two weeks, it could stay s t a g n a n t . Its all about phenos, and ideal growing conditions...less stress, means more energy directed towards colas, etc. She is a biggun, tho.

No other then the little leave at the very bottom that fall of of every plant....

Weight on buds comes from Tight Node spacing and bushy plants... You my friend have neither.

The plant in places looks like it is trying to reveg a little here and there, are you sure you are giving this plant 12 hours of constant darkness?


Personally i would toss that bitch out and start again.


How close is your 400w light from the plant?

You need to keep lights as close as possible without burning the plant and for gods sake look into plant training.

Here are some starting points for you to search.


LST low stress training
TOPPING
SUPERCROPPING

These 3 things will help you keep a smaller plant that is bushier thus giving you more bud.


Sorry to have been the bearer of bad news and say start again but you have to cut your losses and move on, learn from it and dont make the same mistake.

Very much a possibility...more of a probability.

Well I transplant her from a 8in to a 5 gallon when she was 5 ft tall. but it's been two weeks now and I thought by now her roots would have grown down and started bdding but maybe it will take longer?

If it got root bound does that mean its done for or does that mean it will take more time?

I hope you right about that I dont want to have to get ride of this plant.

did you loosen the root ball? because it might have been rootbond and grown up after there was no more down now in cant grow down when thres a place to go

I hate to say it, but I think you need to scrap and start over. I hate repearing advice, but learn, and adapt your methods. We all fuck up.

Great for cristmas that, seriously what jondamon said is how it is. Check for light leeks. Also that thing looks predominitly sativa. iv had one take 4 months to finish. Although it never looked like that.
