IMG_4377.jpgphoto02.jpgphoto2.jpgphoto3.jpgphoto21.jpgphotopo.jpgI had a healthy plant until about a month ago, she grew 33" in 2.5 months. She has been in flowering stage now for about 3 weeks,and is nice and green and seems healthy, but all sings of growth have stopped. I have been growing outside, then putting her inside at the 12 hour mark in a dark well vented closet with a fan. Here are my negatives, I live in Florida and start flowering in august, VERY hot :( 2nd I found a white sticky milky substance on one of the soon to be buds, (mold?). So can this plant be save? I am using miracle grow as the blossom nutrient. Any help from a grow genius would be much appreciated. I am tring to grow one plant in Florida before I decide if to purchase some quality seeds.

It looks good I don't know the problem I know what not to do.
I had a couple stall on me for various reasons,on one of them I was close so I went ahead and harvested.
Don't do that!
Flush it or whatever you can think of to fix it, be patient it will eventually start back maturing and then it will be worth harvest.
GL!

Hi kcobra and welcome, The flower "stretch" can vary by strain. Some plants stretch for 18 days, Others for 30 days. After the stretch, it's time for the plant "ta get serious" and put all its effort into the buds/flowers. Before it dies :o So no more leaf growth or height will be added. But them buds should be "a plumpin" :weed:

Not sure about sticky "milky" substance? Unless you mean the stuff that looks like powdered sugar? That's normal, it's the trichomes, which are very good :leaf: You may notice the leaves around the flowers are rough and sticky, instead of relatively smooth like they were in veg. Again, this is normal and good. If this isn't the substance you are seeing, take an in focus pic of it and post it.

Your plants are lookin' good to me! Good luck the rest of the way home :weed:

R2T :peace:
 
I would test soil NPK and PH Levels with simple test kit especially if leaves continue to curl down!

White Milky? Need up close pic!

The stretch does slow down 3- 4 weeks, even stop all together as she starts to bulk up those buds. From my experience it's normal.

The stretch will slow down, but you shouldn't see them come to a halt. My first thought is lock out man. It is such a common mistake, especially for newer growers. What soil are you in? Is it nearly as hot as the miracle grow you are using? If so, you should flush with ph water and test your run off water (check for ph and PPM/EC). This is a common way to test if you have a lock out or salt build up. Im thinking that is what is going on under the soil.

Other than the items I listed, do the flowers look to be of normal size for a 2-3 week flowering time?
