I have two think differents on the go in dwc right now, i screwed up in the beginning of the grow by keeping the water level too high in the res drowning the roots and seriously slowing down growth.
about 2 weeks ago I dropped the res level and they took off. they are 37 days old from seed and only on their 6th node :no:. Now I have another problem.
I only have another 32 days to grow, not a day more. will the plants finish regardless of the slow growth and slow development in the early stages of life or will take longer to finish and if this is the case is there a way to force early finishing??

considering my timeline and that the plants are healthy now what should i do?

they currently are showing calyxes and pistols for about a 10 days now.

I would prefer to finish with less bud of good quality then more bud that is underdeveloped.

less light??????? I also heard switching to flowering nutes will do it as well.View attachment 147027

Thanks.
 
Hi grga they may recover but I had a TD wind damaged durring the summer at about that height never grew any taller chopped her at 110 days immature got enough for a joint or two. They will take longer to finsh now give them a week see. Good luck with the grow man
 
they have recovered, like I said they took off after I dropped the res level.

Thats strange considering that one of my biggest producers out of 6 from a guerilla grow this past summer was almost completley chewed up by bugs 2 weeks after planting.
 
Even if you switch them to bloom nutes now, I doubt they will be finished in 32 days. The normal cycle is about 3 weeks to sex, then 2-3 weeks of pre flower, then another 4-6 weeks of flowering. Switching to bloom nutes now will cut out some of the pre flower period. Even still, you'll probably need about another 5 weeks till they will be finished, maybe more.
 
Thanks for the reply guys,

If I were to try to get the full potential out of this grow and grow them out as long as possible how much longer am I looking at?

I may break the cardinal rule and tell a friend (A very good respectable very trustworthy friend about my grow) So that he can take over while I'm gone.

Considering that I kinda screwed up the life cycle of this plant I need a good idea of when to start flushing.
 
They look like they are really just starting to preflower now, so assuming another 2-3 weeks of veg growth, then 4-5 weeks flowering, I say around 8-9 weeks. Take a look at this, it should give you a better understand on what to expect:

When the big fan leaves start to yellow you've got about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks left. Wait about a week and start your cleanse then.
 
Excuse the two cents. The higher you grow them in the groth stage the more you get out of them when you flower them. I make sure mine are in full flower before I switch them to the bubbly tank where they will be in flower nuits. It just doesn't pay to rush them. Welcome aboard and good luck with your grow.
 
thanx a TON for the info guys really helps, I have confirmed with my friend these ladies will go to the end I will update their progress before I leave for my trip and once they are done to let you know how my first autoflower DWC grow went. Then round two with 1200W on two plants :booya:
