First Grow: Black Indica

[Pennywise]

If you go outside especially in a garden be sure to change clothes before you go into your grow space. Best way to avoid "the Borg"

How long till buds grow?

How long till buds grow?

Buds won't start to grow until it's getting at least 12 hours in the dark (end of summer coming into autumn), unless you have an auto-flower which will start to flower with age rather than light and they usually flower within 28 to 35 days but I've seen some go longer before switching.

You can force it into flower too if you want, just put it somewhere dark yourself for 12 hours or more everyday but make sure not to let any light at it when it's in the dark all the way until harvest or it will switch back to vegetative growth!

Once it does change to its flowering stage you should see pistils around 10-14 days later.

...Well done with the bugs too my friend!

I have it at 12/12, I did 18/6 for a couple weeks by mistake. Dont wont to force anything, as natural as possible.
Do I need to hand pollinate or anything when the flowers come?
Thanks!

When you done 18/6 it went back to veg again, stick at 12/12 for the entire rest of the grow (you are forcing it into flower if your growing indoors and switching the lights - It's not doing any harm to them either this is a natural part of the plants life.. what could be doing harm is switching back and forth from 12/12 to 18/6 and back to 12/12)..

anyway put your lights on 12/12 and from the moment you do that you should see pistils in 10-14 days and another week or 2 after that you will start to see some actual bud!

You don't need to do any pollinating unless you are breeding strains or want to have seeds in your smoke. All you have to do is keep her healthy until her buds are fully developed and then chop it, dry it and cure it.. best of luck, you got this.. it sounds harder than what it actually is for someone starting to grow. I started just like you are and you've come to the right place for help.

April 30th look, should I wait till their 3/4" to plant?

Yeah there ready to go n dnt have to let get tht long

 

[ItsTommyGunnz]

thanks, dont know how it ended up with 18 but 12/12 is what I have normally used.

Yeah it'll be alright though, just stick to 12/12 from here on.. you'll see pistils around 2 weeks later and then some bud around 1 or 2 weeks after that looking good though man.. way better than my first try!
