do flowering plants still grow roots or does the roots stop growing in veg?

 

[supersillybilly]

they grow roots until they dead

NEED HELP !!!!! My Fruity Chronic juice is in 3ed week of flowering but there are no trichomes anywhere on the plant despite all I read about how fantastic this strain is. This one is grown in MG potting soil+ worm casting under 400W MH for vegging and now under 400W HPS for 3 weeks. Plant was fed blood meal at first and bone meal at flowering + MG plant food with every watering. Other plants of different strains have done well but this Fruity Chronic Juice has produced no trichomes. What have I done incorrectly? Or am I being impatient? Anyone with experience with this strain? When do they start producing the trichomes?

first day of flowering today... small victorys is what its all about.. oh and done some pruening for the first time aswell so well happy with the light getting down to the lower branchs now.

 

[ae86 grower]

some pic`s of my handy work...

got n.p.k 3-10-10 bloom nutes any good? going to give them another veg feed tho prob on thursday or friday as they feel heavy still...

 

[DST]

I would hold off a bit until wacking them with 3-10-10. Perhaps mix it with the veg nute you use.

 

[ae86 grower]

yeah i was going to veg feed next time, but you would recommend the feed after to mix it with the veg? would only start with a small amount anyways and work up to any kind of strenght.

 

[ae86 grower]

heres the veg nute i use

 

[DST]

drastic changes are never good for your soil medium or plant. Like you said, just slowly build it up, and please, don't prune any more leaves off your plants...i cried at your last pic up there (I am not a purveyor of leaf removal, but each to their own).

 

[ae86 grower]

cfl growing requires some pruneing, didnt go mad at it i just took some that had got previous burn from lights and a couple of healty ones from the top to let that precious light down...



also how many lumens does a 400w or 600w put out?

 

[mad dog bark]

lumens is aload guff dude. the light u read in lumens isnt wot the plant uses to grow. think lumens sxplains visable light to humans or some waffle simular to that

 

[ae86 grower]

cheers mdb, ah i never paid much attenttion to it, just looking at the box the new bulbs came in and taught i`d ask....

the gram per watt is what everyone goes by generally anyway isn`t it?

 

[mad dog bark]

haha im not to sure really. think the more and better quality r the two main things, id rather a lil something great then alot of shite hahah.
alot peeps on the led forums talk about the gm to watt ratio. i dont hear it much here.

 

[ae86 grower]

this is too true, i would be in the same line of thinking, o couple of oz of couch lock smoke to a big bag of crap..


not that i`ll get anywhere near it.. but heres hopeing..

if the watt per is the way to gauge it then i`ll have 520 true watts on them for flower so should still be in the running..

 

[gaztoth]

gest got a g of(killa)/ anyome had it?

 

[gaztoth]

mmmm my angelheart is cumming along ill get some pics oup is anyone even looks mow lol

 

[DST]

A 400 is about 45-50,000 lumens, and a 600w is around 90,000 lumens give or take.

also how many lumens does a 400w or 600w put out?

 

[ae86 grower]

cheers dude, think we have it sorted tho that the gram per watt is a better gauge, i was just wondering as i got my flower bulbs out and the lumens were on the box, just couldn`t figure out what the lumens had to do with it, if you get me...
