k, so here my plant, vegged for 4 months on 24/0.
been in flower since feb 28th and is still coming up a bit slow. im assuming its because of the long veg period and the fact that my water is really hard.

anyway, im wondering if anyone can tell me about how much longer they think i should leave it go for? i know i needa get a good magnifier to check the trichomes and be 100% sure but i cant seem to find a good one anywhere as of yet. so if anyone can tell me about how much longer they think by lookin it would be greatly appreciated.

+rep for all help!

I am blind in one eye and I cannot see out of the other, however it looks like those buds to start pumping iron.
I will take a wild guess and say they need to grow for a few more weeks.

Good luck

yea, she still has til the end of the month atleast anyway for the 3 month mark. im just wondering if i should leave it go past that cause she does seem to be quite slow going. would there be any longer of a flower period where it was vegged 24/0 for 4 months? i seen one guy on youtube who had said he had to flower his for close to 8 months because it was vegged for so long. wether or not theres any truth to it i dunno. it does seem to be quite a longgg time for one plant.

what about the whole molasses thing? does that actually work to help bulk up the buds? and can i use any kind of molasses or does it HAVE to be blackstrap? i just feel she's a bit scrawny for how old it actually is.

Yep. It gets expensive quick sometimes. i was just trippin' b/c if i vegged that long, i'd end up touching the ceiling by the end of flower. Now that i think about it, i MAY do that with just 1 plant.

The molasses aids the roots in nutrient uptake and provides simple carbs. It is supposed to make more trichs too, but that is up for debate. i'm getting ready to replace my molasses with aloe juice, at least one to see the difference.

maybe ill pick some up then. cause where my water is soo messed up thats probably whats wrong. im not getting enough nutes to er i guess. i do have some yellowing already so that might be just what i need to perk her up. so does it have to be the blackstrap stuff or can it just be any kind? i dont really know the difference between them, lol.

Your water can not be the only problem. If you veged for that long and they are still that small then your wattage must be very low or your nutrients really suck something bad lol.

honestly man, i cant even argue with ya there. the shit i picked up for veg was 20/20/20 plant prod ultimate? i dunno, complete crap imo. and the soil im workin with isnt the greatest either. i kinda jumped the gun on everything. next time around tho im gonna pick up some soiless pro mix, you can get it here for like 25$ a bundle so. & deffinately gotta look into a rain barrel too. my city water is comin out at around 300 ppm. & my light is 2 - 75W = 150w hps security lights that were put into one fixture so thats not that great either. i have a 600w kickin around but it cost too much to run for one plant.

If so, use MG veg and Bloom. Lightly, like 1/4-1/2 dose. LOTS of flaming coming up, but just my humble 5 grow experience. Get a good flush though. No MG time-release soil.

Honestly you say you have been flowering since 2-28-11 so they have been in there 9 weeks I would say look at the crystals to see what color they are if they are milky white pull it. Although depending on strain that thing is done bro. You are lucky to have as much as you have on there with only running those 2 75 watt lights. I am surprised you even got that much... Pull em dry em and smoke em is what I say.

Check out my grow + rep if you like it.

dude .. ok first off.. wat strain ? or do u know if its more indica or sativa? im guessing sativa just because ur that far into flowering and not getting that huge of buds.. i switched to 12/12 4/19... and as of right now.. i have like gram nugs on the tops of my plants and i veggd mine close to 3.5 months only because we couldnt get our DIY cloner to work. so had to switch to rapid rooters and clonex.. or rapid rooters and rootech.. and so far so good got like 64 clones rooted, and 17 grand daddy purps seeds and 3 mendo purps seeds.. in the clone and seed 4x4x4 box.. with 20 26w cfls and 4 led 16w panels.. and boy are they all starting to grow now.. finaly got a nice root system and bam growth.. also got 14 diff strains single seeds all nice healthy gotta take clones from them still only took clones off the plants already flowering but anyways im expecting to get about 3-6 ozs a plant off the 4 footers .. maybe more who knows.. but im using the Bio Canna Organic line.. im like 90% organic.. 10%other.. cause i use canna pk13/14 which i guess is not organic.. and i use snow storm ultra.. let me tell u pk and snow storm.. man i got nugs like size of quarters and there the crystalliest shit ive ever seen.. and the guy i got my clones from .. his were not this crystally .. his were amazing but not like this .. this early..
