Hey there, new grower, long time med mary user. I planted this gorgeous female in May, she was 7 inches tall at planting (clone, local shop). She's now about 4 feet tall and still no buds. Water is ph balanced I use all Organic ferts, and nutrients. She has a strong skunky smell when up close, and deep green foliage. Her root system appears to be quite strong and hardy. I'm using ph balanced organic soil with vermiculite. She never gets straight hose water as Sacramento is know for its high chlorine content (not high enough to harm my veggies apparently, but better safe than sorry) Here are two pictures of this lovely girl. Please tell me what to do, what I may be doing wrong, and perhaps when I can expect budding. Thanks KHMS
by the way, if you can bend those branches closer to sideways, you'll get tons of new growth upwards, which will mean even more buds (like you're gonna have any shortage...!!)
Great advice. I'll also post a few pics of the root system. I've got quite a few friends asking me to clone this for them...havent a clue how to do...yet
It can take over a week with 12/12 or basically less light during the day and more night before flowering kicks in. Basically a hormone builds up as the days gets shorter and boom it starts. When the process kicks in youll see a growth spurt and the bud sites start to form. There impossible to miss your plant will start looking different. Your plant is so big you will most likely have to support it as time goes on as well. You can use anything from ropes, stakes, string etc. She will be considerably taller then that fence I bet.
Awesome. Okay, so I'll get the support structures from my sister from when she grew. Fortunately, the neighbors behind me have 6 plants. This is the largest and greenest plant I've grown. I have indoors that are budding but the outdoor plant was confusing me. Due to how this one is looking, I'd like to learn how to clone it.
looks like you have some yellowing/dead leaves way down low. should definitely consider some small lower pruning of that yellowing stuff. Just a heads up, it'll give you better overall plant growth
