for some reason i keep getting hermies not sure what's goin on but i just pulled two autos (one test line Haze x Lowryder, and one west coast OG) I'm begining to think either I'm over feeding but they're not showing stress, or it's this mixed cfl as my last plant i flowered did the same but not as extreme as this, or it's fluxuations in my ph here but again it's not showing any kind of stress... lastly I thought it was light leaks but these were autos so it shouldn't effect em that much.......

Hey everyone .. I was so busy over the holidays I really wanted to puts some ornaments r somthin on one of da girls and send it in !! but wasn't able too. Any way happy holidays and here's a tip( I used pipe cleaners in odd shapes. Sometimes just in a hook to "weigh down" big fan leaves r manipulate growth. ALSO C PONEY TAILING BYE A-TRAIN...

Hey guys!! also, I'm new at this! Is this pre flowers? If so should I start flower nutes yet? Also I know it's pretty crapy pics but is that also flowering at "every node" I c there?

Everything looks spot on man just wait a little for it to grow a bit and all will be revealed.

As for my hermi situation I'm beginning to think it's because for the first two weeks or so I had them on 24h lighting the dropped it down to 20/4. Seeing as the "balls" were about as developed as the flowers it must of been that since the plants themselves didn't show any signs of stress at all. Or but at the same time I have another 3 plants in there one is west coast og and she looks fine while the other one in the tent had both balls and pre flowers. I'll try to get a pic of the balls now keep in mind I got pissed and ripped em out in a fit of annoyance and rage.

So, i have two auto thc bombs two months in, 18/6 since the get go,,, spewing pre flowers but that's it. Never had this before. I know they are auto beans, , no doubt. One of them is in a seven gallon so I'm not worried so much about that. The other is in a three gal and is showing a bit of fade.... I'm wondering if i have to drop them to 12/12??

 

[slayer44]

I say go to 12 man might as well

Has vertical growth stopped?

If you have the time let them go... I have a dr.feelgood that is auto and didn't show sex til day 56 and is flowering like crazy now under 20/4 all the way... my plan was to just veg her til the other autos were done then switch but she came around and flowered on her own

Ok so ,u have one light source,it's a m.h./h.p.s. Setup. U made some mistakes and had a slow start on your first grow and now u r about 36 days in ,you have 2 plants that r about 20 inches tall,look pretty good, and now r starting to pre-flower. You also have learned a thing r two so far and allready have 3 other plants started that just made 2 weeks and look a lot better then the first 2 did at that age. My dilemma and question is this. ( should I, plan A. Leave the mh bulb in to sacrifice better budding to get better growth from the lil ones? ,plan B switch to the hps bulb to get better budding and just grow the lil ones out for a while?/side note/probably all the way through because of the way the times overlap/ or maybe even plan C go back and forth between bulbs every other day r so? Or wait... Maybe even plan D go ahead and run the h.p.s bulb but try and offset the"issue" bye maybe putting a couple cfl's around 3 the lil girls?? What do u guys think

I say just worry about your flowering plants boss just my opinion

Can you get full spectrum bulbs ,
There is only one person that can make this decision , I would stick with the hps and as many cfl's as i could
Be safe .
