They look like pre-flowers... (the ones you asked about, on that branch) lol... I'd just switch to 12/12 at this point and force them to finish out over the next 45-50 days, otherwise it looks like you'll have a 200+ day grow.. They're plenty big enough, the only reason people don't run 12/12 with autos is because of the loss of vegetative growth it can cause if you run it from the start.. at this point, with 1 125w cfl, I'd say you're only hurting yourself running more than 12/12 now.

Something's not right with the auto gene, it's not stable in that plant.

in 2-3 weeks you will see a difference wiley ! you could def lst a couple of branches for her to receive more light & control height . they look healthy btw!

I agree Sofa, but with all of that vegetative growth and only having 125W of CFL.. his buds will be like sprigs more than they will be buds.. The only ones that might fatten up will be the very top cola, especially if he continues to let it veg out like that.

cool whatsgoodie! thats good to know :smoke: so by switching the lights 12/12 it would flower normally? even with only one 125w cfl?

Well switching to 12/12 will bring out the genes of the indica/sativa more so than the ruderalis in terms of flowering. Ruderalis flowers regardless, indica and sativa are photo-sensitive and will only flower @ 12/12.

So if he swaps to 12/12, it will induce the flowering.. staying 12/12 will make them keep flowering and reduce further vegetative growth. Hopefully, hopefully it doesn't stretch when he goes 12/12..

lets hope! :group:

Thanks guys, I actually think I am following you on the strains. However I have been on 12/12 for about 1 1/2 or 2 weeks now.(when you and Squid said so) Just day before yesterday I took the 2 6500k lights out and now just have the 4 small 2700k plus the 125w 2700k. I also moved my homemade light sticks as you see them now. I had them above the plants but figured I would get more out of them using as side lights. I still have 4 empty sockets on each of my boards so I could get 8 more of the 2700k if you think it will help ? I could move them back to above the plants also. I am vers a tile like that LOL. hell at this point I'll stand on my head in the tent, pee on them and whistle dixie out my bootie if it will help them get on with what they are supposed to be doing. so I can start number 2 grow with what I have learned. Again Thanks for the help.

Stick with it bro. Keep your Ph tops and your lights the same. Keep giving bloom nutes. If you can fit.and afford more lights amd handle the heat, get em.

 

[wileywilly53]

Yes I think heat wise I can put 4 more bulbs. 8 more might get a lil warm. you think maybe 6ml per gal might be helpful ? watch pH, keep feeding nutes, and moe lights Got it. Thanks Squid.

Yep, squid's spot on.. keep your lights 12/12 and get in as many as you can brother. Try and fit all 8, see how it does.. with plants that huge man, you NEED the light or your buds will be like straw half way down the canopy..

for you and Squid, awesome grow for a first time grow man, your plants really do look gorgeous!

Squid man, staying on top of the grow, you can go through all 19 pages and see you never missed a question. That's the vibe at it's finest.
