Hey guys....
Question for all you polyploiders out there. My polyploid is taking significantly longer to flower than my other plants which are already slow being BIG and sativa dom. They are all the same strain but I do see two different phenotypes.
What do you guys think about this? I started freaking out, thinking it's a male. (I already culled 3 males and the distinction was quite obvious with my strain, showing within the first 5 days of flower. Poly has a few white hairs and I am fairly certain if it were male I would have seen some male preflowers by now. Today, 11 days after the switch to 12/12 it is barely showing a couple... literally 2-3 white hairs at the top bud site whereas with all the others you can truly see the buds beginning to form.
My only thought is maybe the mutation caused it to develop slower and it is just now reaching sexual maturity. I saw someone mention they couldn't bring theirs to flower... but I wasn't sure if that was because they pulled it or because they literally couldn't get it to flower.
Obviously... most of you have had no issues getting yours to flower. My next feed I will be using a bit a Bloom booster in addition to their normal feed. (I use quarter strength BioBizz Grow, Bloom, and then Top Max separately). BUT now, after seeing this discussion on nute burn... I am wondering if I should just back off and let her do her own thang. My thought was because she was a conjoined twin of sorts she might need MORE feeding... but it seems you all have come to the conclusion this is not the case.
She seems to drink at the same rate as the others these days. I mentioned earlier on she was needing her own watering schedule but not since switching to flower.
I am REALLY excited to see her bloom and she's holding back on me! So do your polys keep up with your other plants Or is mine just giving me a hard time?? Any thoughts, suggestions? Anyone have a joke to tell? Hehee.
