My first grow of a few plants. The plants are healthy and happy and have been flowering since December 1st. Growth is slowing now. Buds are not compact nor very trichome-sparkly.
Questions: It’s budding is very loose, as seen in photos. Any way to intensify the buds?
See conditions below. Less light duration? More-or-less fertilizer?
Suggestions? Thank you so much!!!
Conditions: Strain: White Widow Source: Bought as clone that was grown with 18 hrs of light. Flowering: Bought November 9th. With less light it started flowering by Dec. 1st. Light: About 12-16 hours. I place it in windows and on porch (when above 60 degrees, San Diego) to track with the Sun for about 10 hours. And I have it in the kitchen at night so it gets another 2-6 hours. Fertilizer: Gave it a healthy dose of PK, 3-12-12, about a month ago, then last week again. I worked it into soil and also fed it as a tea. Water: I don’t overwater and give it rain when available.
Again, any suggestions on helping it get more “bud-y”? Is this loose budding a White Widow thing?
See photos…
Relax , you"re doing fine, just keep on doing like you are, shes a baby yet, shes gonna explode soon and get Nice,
Trust me I"ve grown some , no pruning, clipping, topping, lst, nothing, just let it grow and see what it did.
Lite nutes, TLC, grew 5ft,8" tall less than 4 months.
That fertilizer I’m not familiar with it I have a gro going that’s inside and I can show the newts that I use hop that can help I use fox farm ocean soil and you can do a full grow with no newts but with newts fattens them up I will mentioned you in it so you can check it out
By PK, I meant Phosphoric Acid and Potash, as in 3-12-12 flowering fertilizer. I understand that too much nitrogen can “burn”… ** Can adding too much Potassium and Potash cause problems?
Too much Nitrogen can Delay flowering,(N) ,/ (P) Phosphorus and (K) Potassium
3-12-12 is more for Flower and Bloom phase, I"d suppose you Could start these nutes at 1/4- 1/2 strength, I’m not familiar with your product brand,
Anything too much can cause problems, remember less is more sometimes, study your fertilizer and add accordingly, slow down a bit patience is Key with growing and Read Read Read !!
Is rain ok for early-mid flowering? Indoor plants love to be set out in the rain. My W.Widow is an indoor-window woman and I’d love for her to get a little nature into her if that’s ok at this point.
