WW xBB,bubblegummer,pineapple skunk, and a white lavender(fems).Plants were supposed to be ready in 8 to 9 weeks and tomorrow will be at week 12 of bloom.Growing in happy frog soil.using advanced nutes grow micro,grow and bloom package.1000 watt sodium lite(trifecta).also had 3 auto flowers that were supposed to be harvested at 9 weeks from seed that i cut at 14 weeks with crystal clear Trichomes.Been on water(ph at 6.8) with some molaasis mixed in for last 2 weeks.soil ph is 7 on all pots.Last nite had local grower with 20 years under his belt check them out and he cannot figure out what is going on.He spotted my biggest WW x BB had some bananas starting on it so i took it down last nite before they got big and started spraying pollen.Other grower said they will sometimes do this when they get old.humidity at 50 temp at 75-80 degree,s on and 70 with lites off.I have yet to witness a Trichome to be cloudy.Also took down a white rino because it just got old.Plants are starting to get yellow leaves from lack of nutes and the one i took down last nite will be around 4 ounces of midgrade sensi if i am lucky.the white rino is not very good either as i had no choice but to take it away from its sisters.I have 12 clones behind these under the same conditions in another room and am trying to figure out what is going on so i do not end up with another pound and a half of midgrade.Is there a way to induce the Trichomes to start turning.Any idea,s on the reason this is happening.My clones are on same system with sensi and big bud in the nute mix.All plants are 4 to 5 feet tall if that makes a differance.

Did u threaten them. If not try that if that doesn't work put the main stem between your ass cheeks and grind up and down till you get a few splintersin your butthole if that doesn't work . Slap your dick on the biggest bitch u have and make all the other hoes watch. Hope one of these solves your problem!

I am guessing it has to be something i am causing with the conditions i have them in or the nutes i fed them.the plant i took down was very well developed with nice big buds.The top was 9"s long and over 3"s thick with at least 13 smaller cola,s that were 4" to 5"s long.They were swiched to 12-12 august 5th and 9 days ago i went to 10 on 14 off in hope of helping them change.Even adding 2 weeks for stretch they should at least be starting you would think.I also see i will have to check and see about blocking some people out of my threads that offer sick advice.

OK, in my method of counting your girls ( flipped on 8/5 ) achieved "End of Week 10" this morning. You need to allow 2 weeks after the flip, you shouldn't count that in your flowering time. Based on that ( and the fact the breeders almost always short-change the flowering time ), I think you have 2-3 weeks left.

thank you for this info.I see one of the pineapple skunks beginning its change with a little cloudyness tonite and am looking fotward to the rest doing the same.I now see how it helps to know your plants.Being my 1st grow i am not very patiant here at the end.
8 are left standing and am hoping for the best.My clones started showing hairs on day 6 of bloom.Should i also give them the extra 2 weeks on the count.

Day 1 should be the first day you see pistils, yes you are correct. Some plants throw hairs earlier ( your 6 days ) than others ( up to 2 weeks for indicas ).

Again, always allow a few extra weeks over what the breeder says is the flowering period. 99% of growers will agree with that statement.

As a footnote (should you ever grow 12/12 from seed) the counting is the same. Day 1 is the day the plant reveals its sex ( ie throws a hair for females, shows a ball for males ).

Try to be patient. My first grow I picked off two plants, speed dried the buds in the oven, paniced and ruined half my batch in the short span of two weeks. If you do get antsy, take an antire branch off, and air dry it (sometimes a light bulb from a lamp underneath it or a small fan helps speed the process without damaging the outcome) and at least that way in about three-four days you'll have something to pick at and smoke that wont disappear like dust in the wind.
