first grow fail... what would you guys do?

[weeduk420]

Hey guys this is my plant its almost to the end of flowering and im very gutted at the size of the buds.. im tempted t just flush and crop her cos i doubt theyll get bigger now im guessing theres a week or 2 tops on her if that! so i need advice would you guys still let her grow? or just crop her? she has had one hell of a stessfull life.
here some pics.

If the trichomes are hazy to a amber color chop it down if all the hairs are still clear dont do it yet, What type of lighting are you using? maybe add some more for the next grow

 

[weeduk420]

its only 2700k eco light sort of cfl big one tho and ill flush her now leave a week an crop

 

[jamie497]

I have a 150W 6400k eco cfl light. How many watts is yours? Once the trichs are cloudy and the pistils have turned orange and have started to skrink and shrivel chop her down. You might not have much weed but if you dry and cure it perfectly you'll still have some great tasting weed. What strain are you growing btw?

 

[frmrboi]

I'd cut and smoke, that's depressing to look at.

 

[Barnsy73]

What is strain is it ? I would chop it myself flush first looks like it might be hermie is there sacks on it ?

 

[weeduk420]

aint a hermi lol no sacks no where no idea of the strain but its stinks skunky with a sort of lemony citrus sort of sour smell loadsa crystals on it tho myns about 100w 125w 2700k light

and ive been using pk 13-14 overdrive and canna terra flores but ive just been using pk 13-14 and overdrive the last few weeks started using pk 13/14 about 4th week of flowering tho and that supposed t make buds massive so is overdrive

 

[KronDonSmoker]

I would say live and learn, One I wouldnt start flowering till the plants are atleast as tall as they are now I wait till atleast 12 inches. 18/6 lighting and then if you can spring for even a 150 or 250W HPS they are around 100 bucks so not too bad and it would help out the growing alot

trial n error lol least it has bud n its alive ...sort of.

Lol yea if its got something you can smoke not a failure I say. Lot of different tricks you can try out when growing, My next one is topping so I get 4 main colas of heavenly goodness

 

[weeduk420]

yes im gonna do that next time i hear u can top the nodes aswell to get 1lb off 1 plant.

 

[KronDonSmoker]

it is possible but a lot goes into the amount your going to get like the genetics of the plant soil nutes how powerful of a light. Ill be happy with 4 oz per plant when I do my topping

get hps to stop those giant gaps u got between buds. we'll call this one an error. get the new light and start next grow confident ,dont repeat mistakes.

 

[Johnny Retro]

I tried so many times when I was younger to get some bud to grow never had it go then I found RIU and first grow was great out of some bagseed !!! Just keep reading and you will be very happy with the results !! Watch how much better ur next grow will b It will amaze you that you did that I personally didn't want to kill mine so I revegged them just about to flower them now over a year old and look great !!

 

[Bauks]

how long did you veg it for?...looks like one of my victims of early flowering ....look at the trichomes chop when you prefer

Am i too high right now to where Im not reading this right..You went into flowering and then went back into vegging for a year? Thats crazy got any pics of that plant? Plus thats a sweet truck in your avatar although I think a cherry red is always a good luck for that timeframe of vehicles

 

[Bauks]

Ditto ....RIU Is a Plant saver...... it made the difference between 3 failed grows and jumping right into hydroponics with success

Yeah I do have some pics don't want to take his thread over but here is one plant I kept them almost dormant just ph'd water and kept taken clones I chopped alot off about a month ago so they would be ready to flower and as for the truck cop magnet would love to have it red going to get rid of it and find a nice house with nobody around to grow my plants

The scraggly one all the way on the left was in a party cup root bound gave it to my buddy like that and he gave it back 6 months later like it was still in cup messed it up wanna see what it does,I gave it some room
