Buds not swelling

[Newb1981]

Hairs are almost 50% red. Tricombs are almost all milky yet no swelling. Started flush. What do I do?

Sure doesn't look ready as yet so stop so called flush and feed, feed ,feed for two or three more weeks. You are cutting them off just when they need it the most.

Why are all the hairs turning brown and curling up if they are so far away

You see that in the latter stages. start feeding and you will see new pistols start to grow, this is what helps swell your buds. The trics are the big thing, I like all cloudy with maybe 10 to 15 % amber. How old are your plants?

 

[Newb1981]

Long story but had some issues with them in early veg stage. Thought I was going to lose them. They came back but stunted. Flowering for about 6 weeks now. Tricombs are mostly cloudy. Saw a couple amber. Hence the concern of them not swelling and being close to ready for harvest. First real grow. I do have a fungus gnat issue. Been spraying however now that it is close to harvest I dont want chemicals. Was going to get some neem oil and diatomaceous earth today for them.

Never had a pest problem so far, knock on wood, But i agree about the no chemicals. Unless they are autos , another subject not so familiar with, then six weeks isn't enough. Both my last two grows went just shy of nine weeks.

 

[Newb1981]

They are Autos. Will not be investing in anymore Auto seeds I can say that. I will give them some more time. And feed them another week or two. Thank you.

Best of luck, your plant looks great by the way.

Get some BT in mosquito cakes for the gnats. At this point in bloom, I'd be hitting mine with some GH Kool Bloom or the like. Welcome.

 

[Newb1981]

Can I get that locally?

 

[Newb1981]

Sorry for the ignorance. Learning. What is BT

 

[Bush Doctor 77]

bacillus thuringiensis is available at a lot of places. Mosquito cakes, I hear, are the cheapest form.

 

[Newb1981]

Thank you. I will try that
