I bought a high phospho guano for flowering. very little nitrogen in it.


I'm not a big soil or outdoor grower

The strains all look different. There is one that is very sativa dominant and it has always had way more odor than the other plants.

It looks like we're in the same boat firelane. Mine are about the same size but way more dense. I had been pumping them full of nutes for the past 2 months. I am probably going to have the same strategy. We have gotten screwed with weather this year man.

My guano is amost all phosphorous, so it's for flowering. I've been using a lot of N in the past month or two, s my plants look just like firelanes but quite a bit more dense. I'll get some pics later this week!


We've been screwed out of a real summer this year. I'm scared our first frost is going to be within a month. All i can do is use regular methods for combating frost on other plants and hope that they make it far enough to get some kind of harvest. I've already pulled two males but none of the females have shown anyhing (there were preflowers on one plant)

I have some power skunks that aren't showing pistols yet either. Its a very slow flowering sativa strain. I got the seeds for free with purchase from the attitude seed bank. It would be nice to see them finish up around mid October. Who knows what the weather will be like. In Wisconsin, if you don't like the weather today, come back tomorrow. We already hit 37 degrees on Sunday night, some places hit 34 I heard which is scary but my plants are hearty enough Im not too worried.

Looks like a lot of us are having similar issues. I haven't been to this garden for a few days. Hopefully when i go back today or tomorrow I'l have some better news. Brewing up some transitional tea for them right now and topping the soil with a bunch of guano.

If things look good i'll start feeding them some organic fox farm nutes after next week.


Lets all keep our fingers crossed. This has been a really shitty summer as far as weather goes, and already getting deep into the 40's in late august is a bit scary, knowing that the last week of october is going to be the soonest any real weight will come off of these.

I read through this thread and had the same problem the last two years. 25 degress Celcuis during the day and about 8C at night. This one started to flower around Aug. 15th and I am hoping to let it go until at least the end of Sept. for a total of 6 weeks...hopefully more if we're lucky.

PS: Anyone listen to Rock 95?Labour Day weekend top 500 countdown starts friday at noon :P

Oh I won't be getting frost too soon, but it'll be here before she is done. I think they can go a few frosts just fine. I usually see frost before Halloween.

Do you guys do anything to protect your plants on frosty nights?


My plants JUST started flowering. I will assume haloween at earliest they will be ready, probably a week to two weeks after.

I topped the soil with some 1-10-0.5 guano.

ill probably top it one more time in two weeks. and give them a little more N at that time, then let it ride.

So this is my slow outdoor progress. I live in CT. I always grow a few for personal. None of my plants showed sex till the end of July.

When I noticed how slow they were moving I started bringing them in at night from 7pm to 7am around mid august. Should I of did that?

Sound like a lot of work bringing them inside every night. You don't seem to be too far behind schedule.

Sunrise: 7:06 AM. Sunset: 8:02 PM is the current light cycle here.. ... so it's still almost 13 hours.


I just topped my 5 plants with a whole bag of 1-10-whatever guano.... i'll probably do that one more time at the end of the month, plus feed them directly one time, with molasses added to every watering. We've been getting decent amounts of rain luckily.


The good news is that in this crop, i got 5 females and only 2 males. one plant was lost to animals. One of the plants was a femenized ww seed though, lol. so 4 females for 2 males in the bagseed group. I can't complain!

This crop was basically just guriellia grow practice, so i didn't dedicate much efffort into nutes/genetics.

I'll throw some pics up soon. They're up to my neck in heighth at the begining of flowering, and i didn't put them in dirt unitl the begining of july!!!

I never had to much luck with white widow outdoors.....late bloomer. The days will be getting short and cold real soon. I like your optimisim though. Lets hope the weather cooperates for all of us. My outdoor crop is a couple of weeks behind as well. Good luck

Its not too much work bringing them in. It is more then I care to do. There full 5 gal pots, 6 of em. I'm sick of doing it.

Would it hurt them to stop bringing them in now? they been on 12/12 for a good month now.

Also where they are outside at night an artifical light kinda lights the area. not too much, but it's not pitch black. My plants this year havent met that light. But every year prior has. Does that hurt the harvest alot, or not so much?
