I tend to agree Chester. I've looked at loads of pics of mature grows and I'll give it that extra time to let it reach its best. I'm reassured now knowing that an outdoor grow takes longer. Being a beginner I was perhaps relying too much on the seed provider's timelines. Thanks again.
New Grower Clear or cloudy? I can't tell which!

This plant has a way to go. Those buds will swell and get much bigger in the coming weeks. You need to wait and let her put on some bud fat. The colas should be nice and fat.
Four weeks minimum; then start to flush. Maybe the end of September. When all the leaves start to yellow is usually the sign that you're close.
Think of your plant as a banana. Green banana's are not ripe to eat. When your banana starts to yellow up it's getting ripe and better tasting. When your banana is yellow and brown spotty it's very ripe and has better flavor. Your plants are the same. Wait until your plants get ripe; then you'll be rewarded.

Many thanks for your comments Baylee I feel more content about bringing this first grow to a successful conclusion.I live in Ireland by the way where the air is starting to get a little cooler already but I think I'm far enough along to get something decent from this grow. You mentioned 4 weeks more for maximum potential. Does that mean I could possibly apply at least one more feed? I ask because all through this grow I have been extra careful with feeding ( both in veg and flower ) as I didn't want to risk doing serious harm through lack of experience.

You can feed the Girls right up to the time you start to flush. Just wait till the fan leaves yellow up and then start to flush. Just as all have said; make sure she gets lots of P-K. There are growers that add molasses to the 1st week of the flush; then plain water the 2nd week. The molasses is suppose to sweeten up your buds. A bud inhancer like Floralicious and Awsome Blossom will help put on bud weight too.
You'll be fine. Just have patience. Let the Girls get good and ripe.

Just been reading up on a product called Plagron green sensation which promises dramatic results in the flowering stage. For me though, with a first grow it is way too expensive. Can anyone recommend a cheaper alternative or as near as possible which is on sale here in the UK?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You may want to check out this web site; www.greenshorticulture.co.uk.
Pick up something like 2-1-3 (i.e. 6-3-9 or 12-6-18) ratio for Flowering
When I started many years ago doing outdoor grows. There was really nothing out there for growing MJ. My father had an Apple Orchard and grew awesome tomatoes and beautiful flowers in his green houses.
He used MircleGro Tomato & Bloom Booster. I used that on my grows and got great results from it.
Now you'll get all kinds of feedback on MircleGro being crap, but it worked for me.
There are many bloom boosters and flowering nutrients on the market now that may be better. Just be gentle when using any nutrient until you know it's not going to burn your hard work.
