So im eight weeks in to growing some indicas which i vegged for about 5-6 weeks. I began flushing my last water because all of the right signs.. leaves have been yellowing and pistals have been turning brown for a couple weeks now(started probably around week five). Yesterday i took a microscope to some of my top nugs only to realize that all the trichs are clear, i didnt even see ANY that were milky. buds are still somewhat tiny, so i dont really know what to do. suggestions?

are they recieving a good amount of light....and have you got an intake of fresh air....small buds can be anything from poor light and bad condition i.e no fresh air and stale constant air.....pics would help dude

Remember they are on plant time, not seedbank bs, so you buy the strain time. If they tell you 8 weeks figure at least ten and if you got a larger plant that will take longer to ripen. Its like cooking a whole chicken compared to a chicken breast. Give it some nutes and pull it when it's ready, quit counting days. This was my worst mistake in the past. Paying attention to the calender and not to the budz.

not much is wrong, I do not know how old the light bulb is, it culd be pretty old idk, we also found a couple mites on some of the plants but no serious infestations. Ill change the light and post some pics when i get home, air circulation is fine i think tho.

if the trychs are still clear and all your leaves are yellowing its because the plant still needs nutes and the flushing is preventing that from happening, thats a long veg so probs a big plant, if my trychs were all clear i would still be feeding not flushing. totally agree with bill wilson about looking at the plant and not the packet it came in time wise. all strains have different phenos and even in the same strain in same conditions you will get some that take longer. pics will help a great deal so ill check back when you put them up. if your trychs are still clear you may still have 2-3 weeks, dont rush it, being patient will help in the long run.

some strains actually have clear trichs not all strains are the same..besides that i would ask what carb booster you are using if any? and how close is your light to the tops of the plants?

first of all dont give it nutes your time is up. the fan leaves will continue to yellow and fall off as you get closer to harvest time its part of the process (depends alot on strain). watch the trichs everyday and make sure you look at the top of the main cola and the bottom smaller buds. make sure most of the plant is ready. you dont want to give it nutes becuz u already flushed it and when you go to smoke it. it will snap crackle and pop from the left over ferts. what i would do is water with 2 tablespoons of molassess or syrup in a two liter bottle and water with that one good time. the natural sugars stimulate the microorganisms and do something and give the plant a "boost" the first time i did it my buds doubled in size over a 3 day period. so yes the best thing to do is give it the molasses water next watering and make sure it gets good and plenty of sunlight. and no nutes cuz in two weeks it will get cut and harvested and you dont want the nutes still stored in your plant

if you still have tiny buds at 8 weeks flowering then its either the strain or something is going wrong in the grow, you really do need to get some pics up. if the reason your not putting pics up is because your grow is not as good as some of the other peoples grows then you need to remember not everyone was great in the beginning, it takes experience and by putting your pics up and finding out whats going on you will be given any help you need.
for example i just had a skunk 11 that went for just short of 12 weeks, now it got very big in the end. the one i am doing now is at about 7 weeks and will only have id say 2 weeks to go. you didnt even tell what strain you were doing, is it bagseed. i hope it works out for you in the end, good luck with it.

Oh sorry, i have nine plants going. I have two jade super frosts, two chocolopes, 1 lavender, 1 black domina, 1 purple trainwreck, and 2 MK ultras(all started from clones). I havent put pics up yet because the only camera that i have access to at the moment is the one on my computer and it kinda sucks.this is the lanvender like two weeks ago http://imgur.com/Je6g2. but size hasnt really increased too much size(leaves have just began to yellow a lot more). And i dont know if supherized molasses is no good, everybody on these forums says that unsulpherized is the shit. sharks are gunna win the cup this year!

well if you gave it molasses already just give it water now. if you want to experiment you can go to a grocery store and buy vanilla extract or orange extract or any flavor you want. orange and lemon seems to be ppls favorite. and 3 hours before you harvest your plant water with 30% extract and 70 percent water and when you harvest a few hours later it will help add a taste to your buds when they are ready to smoke. i read it somewhere and im trying it this year....good luck
