Sweet, to each their own I guess... No matter how your grow style works for you, I still think you need to get the light leaks sorted

@Mambawana My two weeks above is incorrect (please note had a massive xmas dinner and drinks) Hope u had a great one. Yeah general btw 8-10 days i screen capture my grow log.

At what day does your plants kick into flower? I've always experienced it between day 8 - 10. And I grow between 10 - 20 strains at a time. I recommend you start bloom nutes from day 1 flower and not 2 - 3 weeks like suggested by sites like growweedeasy etc. The extra phosphorus is like a signal to the plants to go into flower. Btw I also like the energetic high and I have been harvesting colas of my plants for the last 2 weeks. So maybe cut yourself a few colas and see what they look like after they dry, maybe the pic we seeing is deceiving us and your flowers look different in person.

Okidoki. I must have read something that led me to think there was light leaks.

@CleanGreen I was not being a dick I promise. Telling you what I see. You supposed to take it that there's something wrong somewhere. Maybe it's just the genetics or something but I suggest you look into it for the sake of all the hard work you put in. This is a random pic of my current grow at around day 18-20.

@PsyCLown Wow Charlottes Angel.. Any reason you got that strain? mostly CBD right?

@PsyCLown I do a perpetual grow, so i take my cuttings, clone them for two weeks and vegetate for 8 weeks. So this also dictates my flowering time. The biggest factor for me is but rot. I try to grow weed cheaply so i have no environmental control, last harvest i had a cola the size of my manly fist..... Beautiful cola, cracked her open full of rot! If i had the space and ALL the right equipment sure man i love to experiment, but in my case i have limits.... But what you dont know you dont miss Ill try to make some pics b4 harvest next week, but at this stage they are not photogenic.. cant see the trees trough the forest lol Merry Christmas. Forgot to add: Excluding the the flowering time i add two weeks transitional stage, so in theory the are under flower light 14 weeks.

Have you ever let this plant flower for longer? Harvested according to the Trichome Colour? Looking at the picture, and pictures can be deceiving, it still looks as if the bud could swell some more and cover / hide more of the pistils. Although I'm sure this could change a bit between strains. Perhaps consider giving it a try, or perhaps on just some of the plant - so harvest most when you normally would and leave some there to mature a bit more. I haven't tried this myself but have heard of others doing this with success. I'm sure a larger harvest will be appreciated too :D Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk

Light leaks was also my first thought, They look like they at day 18. Check your timers etc to make sure they still in their correct flower cycle times Hope you figure this out

I agree with PsyCLown... Those ladies still look like they have a full 2 months to go still. And the eskom power nap... Looks rediculously bright for lights out. How light proof is your grow area?

Yea maaan!! Merry Christmas to all

Merry Christmas 420 South Africa... Hope you guys and your families have an awesome day filled with love and joy... here's to sharing the FIRE...

So buy yourself a ballast for the 400W and you will have yourself a proper grow light. You have 2 choices: Electronic ballast Magnetic ballast Even though there are some differences both give the same end result. Magnetic ballasts are alot cheaper and quite reliable long term. Electronic ballasts has advantages like being able to dim the light. Quicker at igniting the lamp. Post a pic of what 400W light fittings you have and maybe we can work something out for you.

I actually.have 3 400w hps lights, but no ballast.

Update time after a long break of not posting. I do apologize for not updating but life happens.... This is an updated pic of the tent..... Since the last update I have stopped using Bio-Bloom due to costs. So now all of them is on mineral feed. And I am not complaining about the results. #1: Bruce Banner x Girl Scout Cookies This one is amazing and is surprising me from the moment of flowering. She is smelling very fruity and sticky when touching leaving you having to clean your hands otherwise everything sticks to your hands. Definitely gonna need gloves when trimming this lady. She is in her 6th week of flower and already rock hard. And with another 4 weeks to go things is gonna get super hard and heavy #2 Bruce Banner #3 Wow this strain is just one of those strains that needs to be kept alive. The crystal formation is amazing and the smelss when handling her is intoxicating. She also hardens quick but the real pleasure is when she cured a bit. That taste is just mind blowing and the stone is strong. A definite must for any grower that likes a strong and tasty strain.... #3 Chocolope Flowering slower than the other ones and not as hard bud as the others. I think she will probably take a bit longer to finish up than the other ones. I topped her in the beginning and have a few main colas forming. At some point I will have to clean her up a bit more but I'll let her flower some more and keep that bottom strip for hash. #4 Red Cherry Berry Well what can I say??? She isn't in the flower tent that long. I put her in on the the 20th (Friday) and she is just showed pistils. I flowered this strain out before and hoping to improve from my previous attempt And that's about it for now. Have a awesome day and Christmas.

totally forgot you have that peyote cookies! You're in for a treat

Interesting how strains can differ soo much. My Charlottes Angel is also around 9 weeks into flower although the bud development is very different. Although looking at your pics, I don't think I'd want to harvest those plants by the end of December. If you're really desperate for bud, consider harvesting a branch or two and let the rest mature properly - you've waited this long, why not let the plant reach its full potential before you harvest. I'm sure you won't regret it. :) Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk
