Hey y’all, this Skittles plant (middle) started the same time as the 3 flowering plants, which are far along. My question is , Skittles sat there for weeks on end and did not show any flower and zero white pistil. So I put the plant in 12/12
Light for about 5 or 6 days and I got it too flower! I have white pistils now but for about 3 days… No change, it seems like it’s sleeping again and not flowering? What do yal think? Will it keep flowering slowly, should I put it back in 12/12 lighting and not 20/4? I’m growing organic. Please help.
Autos typically flower between 4 and 7 weeks, but we have seen them take as long as 12 weeks to start flowering.
Might just work. We have seen people do this to encourage flowering in autos. I don’t know if it works or not, but it can’t hurt so long as you are meeting DLI requirements.
Skittles? Did you change light pattern? How long sitting there doing nothing? Mine was a perfect green bush for at least 4 weeks… Did nothing… So I change the light schedule for 6 days , got it to flower with white pistils , when I had none before. Once I got the pistils going, I put it back in regular 20/4 lights… Maybe extremely slow development
No. Its not about length of time, its about intensity.
18 hours is great if you have a tiny little light but 12 hours is cheaper on your great big light. No matter the time your light is on, DLI is the key.
That is entirely possible. Genetics are funky like that. Some genes pass along always (dominant). Some genes pass often. Some are 50/50. Some never pass (recessive)
Id treat her like a photo from here forward, thus the 12/12 recommendation
