Hey Jmark.......... plants look healthy but lacking none the less, might consider the following

1. Consider the temp of your root zone ( I have found that by setting the pot on a heating pad primarily in the fall and winter months helps in putting the roots in NICE WARM soil/coco medium that they will trive in..... a good healthy root zone equals a healthy plant BIG JUICY BUDS.........

2. How far are your plants from your light source in flour. lighting it is necessary for those bulbs to be inches away from the top of your plant. Light starts to loose its punch very quickly......
Stay safe and Good Growing

alright i will do that i just recently moved the lights about 2 inches away from the tops of the plant..so i think that that might have been part of the problem... i am still in veggy stage with 18/6 cycle they have been growing for about 10 weeks now should i change over to flour stage now or stay in vegg for a little longer so they can fill out more

 

[jmark1249]

on one of the plants i have it looks like it is starting to show it sex

 

[nbk380]

^ thats cause a 18/6 isn't a tru veg. has to be 24/7. don't change it though, if any thing go 12/12.

 

[jmark1249]

oh shit well that might be the reason why they are growing so damn slow

 

[jmark1249]

just by look at the pictures does anyone think that i should go ahead and put them into flower stage?

 

[jmark1249]

hey guys whats going on??? Just coming back to let all who helped out that i have made a few changes and it seems to be doing some good. thought everyone would like to know how they are doing.... my baby girls are growing a lot better and seem to be responding well.... I will be posting some new pictures of them just a soon as i can find the cord to my camera...thanks to all who helped out

 

[Hogdady]

glad to hear it! what changes did you make?

 

[jmark1249]

well the first thing i did was moved the light closer to them then i remembered that i had an emergency blanket packed away somewhere so i found it and lined a peice of plywood with it then lined my wall and surrounded the plants. and i have mg as my soil and its been about 2 and half months so i started them on schultz 10 15 10 liquid

 

[Hogdady]

it's an amazing plant, isn't it?

 

[jmark1249]

yeah it is..i dont smoke anymore but i am still fascinated by every part of the process..its amazing i cant get enough of it i just wish that i didnt have to hide it

Sometimes MG soil can be really acidic, so you might want to buy one of the $10 Ph test kits at a pool or fish store and test where yours is at. I've seem people with MG soil that tests around 4 and they adjust their water to 8 and do not have any problem with nute uptake. I stay away from MG personally, but have seen people use it with good results. You probably want to flush for a few days before harvest though, MG kind of leaves a metallic taste sometimes.

Good Luck

 

[jmark1249]

thanks aero if i would have known all that before i started i wouldnt have used mg soil but i didnt it was to late once i found out about mg..i am going to get a ph tester today..

 

[jmark1249]
