Plant taking much longer than others in flowering, dark green/black colored leaves

furrycnorm · Jan 16, 2012

Hey guys just harvested 2 of my 3 vanilla kush plants. They are in ffof soil and all ff nutes. The other two were chopped days ago and this third one doesn't evel look close to ready. The hairs are still all white and none have turned brown yet. The leaves are also super dark green almost black when the other 2 never looked like that. Any ideas?

Hey buddy..

sounds normal as long as its healthy.. you get that with some seeds.. some are just stronger than others; genetics is the issue and what would be why its slower than the rest.

Every seed can grow differently brotha! I gage harvest time by trich color, as soon as I see amber I chop!

Yo.. i didnt read it all.. i think that plant overdosed on nitrogen..if its super dark green.. it will have a growth stunt.. but if the other plants are ok then i guess this may be a weaker one.
try reducing the nutrient levels.. look up nitrogen overdoes, the leaves go super dark green and it stops growing because the plants using energy to try and flush itself.

If its a nitrogen deficiency should I flush now?

verify that it 'IS' a nitro overdose.. not a 'deficiency'.

Its hard to say.. take a picture and post it up so we can take a look atleast; dont want you to flush for no reason!.
is it just the colour of the leaves?..

has the leaves curled under or over at all? any other symptoms or just super dark green leaves?

Nitrogen [N]

Nitrate - Ammonium is found in both inorganic and organic forms in the marijuana plant, and combines with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes sulfur to form amino acids, amino enzymes, nucleic acids, chlorophyll, alkaloids, and purine bases. Nitrogen [N] rates high as molecular weight proteins in marijuana plant tissue. Marijuana plants need lots of nitrogen [N] during the vegetative stage, but it's easy to overdo it. Added too much? Flush the soil with plain water. Soluble nitrogen [N] [especially nitrate] is the form that's the most quickly available to the roots, while insoluble nitrogen [N] [like urea] first needs to be broken down by microbes in the soil before the roots can absorb it. Avoid excessive ammonium nitrogen [N], which can interfere with other nutrients. Too much nitrogen [N] delays flowering. Marijuana plants should be allowed to become nitrogen [N] deficient late in flowering for best flavour.

Flush with PH'd corrected water only; give it a good flush until your certain all salts and minerals are flushed out. wait for it to come to itself again and start putting nutrients in again.. go easy.. remember its always better to be a little under then a little over when it comes to nutrients. and double check the ph level of the medium the plants in to ensure there is no lockouts.
