New too outdoor growing any help greatfully received

[bob2342]

Hi plants are starting to flower I think, but no crystals forming yet, is this normal 3 weeks into flowering seeds are bruce banner , critical posion. How long should they be in the flowering stage for.

Sorry for stupid questions but very new to this and this is my first grow outside.

if the plant was not sexually ready in the first place, then she will not flower until she is ready.

But from your picture, it looks like she is in the flowering phase. But it may still take some time before trichomes appear on the leaves.

Flowering Time: The Bruce Banner strain typically has a flowering period of 8-10 weeks. However, it's crucial to monitor the trichomes (resin glands) to determine the optimal harvest time. Harvesting too early may result in less potent buds, while harvesting too late may lead to a more sedative effect.

Flowering: 45-50 days indoors, beginning of October outdoors. Height: 0.8-1m indoors, 2-3 outdoors.

Oh OK thanks for the reply, so nothing to worry about at the moment?

 

[bob2342]

They were planted late so only about 1 meter tall

 

[bob2342]

And resin glands are where on the plant?

No problem, one strain should flower for close to 10 weeks, while the other strain not for that long. Can you take a close-up of the flower appearing at the top of the plant so that I can get the leaves as well?

Got it, give them time to recover.

And resin glands are where on the plant?

Resin glands, also known as glandular trichomes, are small structures that produce and store resin. These resinous secretions contain the valuable compounds that give cannabis its therapeutic and psychoactive effects. Trichomes, on the other hand, refer to the hair-like structures that cover the surface of the plant.

Yep and during each side shot too.

And resin glands are where on the plant?

As trichomes mature, they transition from a clear to a cloudy, milky white appearance. This is a telltale sign that the THC content is at its peak. If you harvest at this stage, your buds will evoke an intense, energetic high. However, other cannabinoids, like CBD, CBG, and certain terpenes, have yet to evolve.

Hmm, not to scare you, but the leaves seem to be hanging down a bit and seem stressed. It may be enough that she does not want to focus on the buds but rather wants to stay in life. How often do you water her and what type of soil do you use and what type of nutrition?

What do you think? Do you have any suggestions?

[bob2342]

I water and feed every day. Feed is big bud booster. Soil was just some normal top soil that I got from a garden center.

 

[bob2342]

As its my first time mate I have done nothing fancy. Leaves weren't pointing down yesterday this is a new thing.

 

[bob2342]

The one with sagging leaves is Bruce banner.

Understood. Since it looks like your plants are lacking something but also the leaves look very droopy. Is the soil in your pots dry now?

 

[bob2342]

No fed them around 1 to 2 hours ago

 

[bob2342]

Any idea what they could be lacking my friend?
