So I've got a fair few bus sites on my ak47 but me other plant dosnt seem to be flowering at all thier both at about week 6/7

 

[Swedge]

Update today but having proba a with my camera

The ak plant has about 20-30 bud sites but my other plant still hasn't started flowering it did stop growing for a while maybe I shocked it somehow but it's back on the grow and is just over 2ft tall where as the ak plant is about a foot and a half

I've not used any nutes for flowering ATM due to me having a fair bit of nute burn even at low strength

I then reminded that maybe my soil has nutes already in it which it does so that could be why I had nute burn at such low doses

Next time I'll use soil with no nutes

All in all I've learned a fair bit on my first grow so far some of the stuff I was worries about to start with I wasn't that worries about during lol

Here's a pic I took today the ak plant seems fine but my other plant has pretty yellow leaves on the bottomm tips look ok though but still no sign of flowering

i would go ahead and remove some of those fat fan leaves on the plant to the left to help with light penetration .

 

[Swedge]

How would you recommend which ones I can remove? There's no signs at all that thier going to flower unlike the ak showed me

 

[Swedge]

So I thought instead of trimming leaves I'll do a little lst hopefully more light penetration now

Noemi wish I done this earlier then I could have ah the main stem bent over but now it's too thick to bend right over

 

[Swedge]

This is from the non flowering plant

 

[devils letuce]

make sure shes good and watered before u do any drastic bending on her .. on the removing leaves i just go through and remove the almost half of the big fan leaves from around the plant .

 

[Swedge]

I will do cheers mate

So I'm a bit stuck on what to do with my non flowering plant

It's 8 weeks in and still nothing apart from the spikes growing at the nodes

I don't want to switch it to 12/12 as my ak plant is still in there it's not far away from ready to harvest I don't think

Should I just keep it in there with my ak untill the ak is done then switch to 12/12?

It's over 2ft tall now

 

[Antics]

I'd just let it Veg until the Auto is done.

 

[Swedge]

Yeah that's the plan for now, finish the ak then switch to 12/12

My humidity is quite low, I know this is good for flowering but because I'm growing in an attic it's pretty much dry air up there

If I ran ducting to the edge of my attic where there is a grill that goes all around letting air in do you think that would bring my humidity up much?

Right now I have a 4" extraction fan at the top of my tent with a desk fan inside circulating, no intake fan

I could fit a fan on my intake ducting to bring fresh air in

Do you think it would work?

 

[Antics]

Depending on the size of the attic, I would imagine that may only raise humidity 5% or so, and I think the increases would be slow, and small.

With a tent, I think the fastest way might be to use a humidifier in the tent, although this humidity will need to constantly be replenished, as the exhaust fans will be removing it.

Thanks mate I thought that might be the case

I've just ordered a pond fogger but can only find them with us plugs so I'm gonna have to rewire it, voltages are fine as it's rated 110v-240v so no need for a step down

My unflowered plant is nearly 3ft tall so I topped it a few days ago and I'm now getting a lot of lower growth

I just wish my ak47 would hurry up so I can switch to 12/12

 

[Antics]

Ah the rewiring is easy. Or if you have an adapter (or want to buy one) it easily converts the US plug to any plug you need. Those foggers are great too, exact same technology used in humidifiers, minus the float level circuitry, and fan.

 

[Swedge]

Yeah if rather just rewire the plug
I've harvested my ak47 plant yesterday just drying now

I can now put my non flowering supposedly auto onto 12/12 and see if it flowers

 

[Swedge]

Pink diesel/ amnesia is now on 12/12 I have my heater on 24/7 along with my fans just the lights off for 12

How long does it take after switching to start flowering?
