Dwc slow to flower

Discussion in 'First Time Marijuana Growers' started by Tankasaurus, Apr 6, 2018.

  1. First grow in soil was great. My second grow I tried a dwc bucket. Started from seed, over watered for the first two weeks and took another two weeks to recover. Then I went really lite on nutes for another two weeks. Finally dialed it in, got to 14” tall and had already been showing pre flower so I flipped them to 12/12. It’s been right at 3 weeks, has nearly doubled in size but no signs of any flowering. Dark star is the strain, using the 3 part GH nutes. Following schedule on bottle but decreased by 35% and keeping my ppm between 900 and 1000. Plant doesn’t seem to like it above 1000. I drain and replenish weekly with distilled water adding cal mag and hydro guard. Is it the strain that’s slow or am I doing it wrong? Sorry for the purple pic. 720 watt led. Has a lot of red done great on my soil grow

  2. Mine did not flower for around the same time then when they did they exploded with growth. And yes that PPM is about right anything over 1000-1200 mine started showing sings of stress...
     
  3. Yea, maybe it’s just not ready. Idk. I change water on Sunday and add water/nutes on Wednesday. Probably have the added nute ratio off.
     
  4. I changed my water every 3-4 days as they would drink it all by then and I would always add nutes each feed and I pulled 14 ounce off 2 plants.

  8. You prefer DwC rather than soil?
     
  9. From comparison to how big the yields are yes.
     
  10. That’s some damn good looking bud. Might need a few pointers. But I might give one girl a run to get the feel. What Would you say percentage wise. The difference in yields?
     
  11. I have only one grow under my belt well almost 2 the 1st was DWC 2 MONSTERS man 14 ounce then next one was Coco and other soil the difference in growth rate is clear as day like someone going to the gym compared to someone at the gym on roids... Give it a go man you will be amazed
     
  12. Alright, 3 weeks later and finally starting to flower but now she is very.......large
