Mystery strain - 8 weeks in flower and just pistols - Advice

[Greenriver67]

It looks like a light leak or timer issue to me. Almost seems like it was spending time revegging...my two cents.

Yeah I thought that too greenriver. But there is also a definite nitrogen toxicity and I'm not too sure how much that slows down flower. Light leaks or timer is a good call tho

Just to be sure I will flush and go to half nutrients. My tent is secure in dark basement and timer has always been solid but I will double check everything at this point

 

[HigherTheHigh]

what lights are you using?

That would be what I'd do

Seems like it tried to revegetate at a point, it gets 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness?
Even if you feel like the timer is working properly, sometimes it malfunctions, so checking it might be a good idea.

High- I'm using 2 300w leds and 1000w COB. Which the plants have grown into even after training and aggressive bending.
Tenshi- reveging would make sense but I'm using a trusted tent in dark basement. I made sure lights went out at 7am and have been checking periodically and will also check at 7 pm for them to come on

Positive vibes man. I'm sure with time, it will work out. Just like everything in life ✌

On a side note, I had a grow that wouldn't flower once, it turned out to be a durned smoke detector inside the room. It blinked a very faint red flash every couple minutes. As soon as I took that away, things went full steam again

I noticed pistols growing out of what look like balls. Do you guys think it's a hermy? Or just how this strain is? Wonder if I should just bite the bullet and move on.

 

[Flubbedgrower]

That's normal. Balls will be separate from pistils. Hermie will have a cluster of balls and a spare cluster of pistils. From my experience at least. I don't see balls there. If you have a heater or anything with a faint light then Chuck tape over it so it's blacked out.

 

[MidnightMann]

I have a dehumidifier controller which puts out faint red light I'll tape it up. But it's hard to believe that could cause issues since the outside is never pitch black.

 

[HigherTheHigh]

I had a few like this in my past grows, first i thought there were to many inner nodes for the plant to mature fast enough then had a small N problem, i ended up just chopping and chucking, the amount of time you spend on them aswell as electricity costs, i know its horrible to say but its far easier and cheaper to start again.

The reason i asked about lighting is because sometimes when people ask why there plants are so small and they tend to say there using house hold bulbs.

 

[MidnightMann]

I'mma give it a week or two more then chop and move on

Obviously indoor. Lol. So 8weeks since flip. Doesn't mean 8 weeks flower. My last grow took 2 to 3 weeks to show flower after flip. Only count from first bud sites

Never seen anyone refer to the timeline like this, Day 1 flower is day 1 of 12/12, not the day you see flowers

Must be the ausie way. Hahaha. They don't start to flower immediately. So I respectfully disagree. Bit I judge by trichomes anyway

 

[GodOfPot]

Of course most decent growers will go by trich colors, however when breeders list "50-55 days flower indoors", they're saying 50-55 days from your light schedule flip, not from your first signs of flowers.
