My Biggest girl up close

this is my biggest baby at 3 weeks flower how is she looking

3 weeks of flower? Hmmm.... looks a bit slow going, but could be cuz the strain. Anyhoo, she should be gettin fat soon, good luck

there have been some temp battles with cold

Really? Damn usually it's the HEAT. She don't look cold in the pic, no purple. I'm sure she'll take off soon though. How cold did it get? Inside?

not cold enough to turn her perple or to kill but 51 is the lowest on a couple cold nights, i have to insulate my new growroom when i get the cash and that should help out a lot but for now i have a space heater so that is doing the trick but trying to keep the temp at one place is a monster job lol, i guess i need an external thermostat too lol

i think you can start backing out the nitrigen about now. 3 weeks she should have formed buds already. those fan leaves in the pic-are the lower ones that spindly? what is the NPK ratio of your nutes and what ph are yuo running-soil or hydro

mine didn't start showing till about week 3. I'm 7 weeks in and barely have 3" buds. Sometimes it just takes 10-14 weeks to flower. I easily have another 6 weeks. But damn i'm going to get a lot of pot. Keep it up it will come around. patience.

could be that yo dont have enough light.

400 watt hps

and i am using general hydroponics 5-15-14 maxi bloom its has soil and hydro mixes

ph is about 6.8 ish

6 plants in the flower room each in 5 gal buckets

can anyone tell me how to post a question???

click on the new thread button in whatever group you want to post in i believe its up at the top

a 400w hps is a bright light indeed, but how far is it from the plant? with enough fan id sit that sob 8+ inches from the top of your plant, depending on how big it is (theplant). but if the rest is how you say it is then it sounds like youve done a good job, and just give it time.

Shit ya, get them shits as close to the hps love as u can without burnin her tits off. Depends on ur setup how close u can get em. Some people get there's like 4-6inches away, but theyre usually runnin cool-tubes or an air cooled hood

i have one under a 400 hps and shes that far along if not further @ 8 days....

well since i have some tall plants and some short i am kinda making a comprimise on closeness but to the tall ones the light is about 10-12 in away due to me not having a air cooled hood and the temps are good at tat distance

I would raise up the shorter gals.... Put something underneath the bucket so that they can be close to a uniform size for equal light distribution......
But looking good!

Me and my buddy had a friendly competition, growing one plant each in my closet. Long story short, he went apeshit withthe scissors on his plant and his is like half the size of mine, So I put his on a bucket to even everything out. Its workin well.

Damn.. sick setup but avg results, check mine at 3 weeks on cfl's.. look different.

But it could just be the strain, and as you mentioned temp problems.. be patient.

Goodluck
