3 weeks into flowering and no bud

Grmoan · Jan 28, 2020

So I need to warn you all now this is and has been a very cheap DIY grow, my first it started with a baggie seed from some very nice bud and am using it as a practice to growing before investing, I don't expect any large yeilds

It has had to deal with the cold temperature in my area at the moment so it is only just over 2ft tall I was just wondering if I need to give it more time or will it never start

It has 3 led lights, two are 14.5w and one is 10w

Have you checked for light leaks?
I will apologize for some of the questions that may sound stupid but I don't know what you have done or not done and you listed as a new grower.

20 days in 52 at night and 66 to 68 in the day. lots of light

It's all good nothing seems stupid, for light leaks I don't believe so I will double check that tonight, I kept it in a smallish pot as I didn't want them growing too big is that holding them back

Temperature is still getting a bit low at night around 40's

Will it still go into flower even if its slower

I wish mines looked like that

canothink5 · Jan 28, 2020

i know that my ladys in the cold show slower than the ones I have in a controlled environment.

They are in a .66 gal pot. do you have a way to measure light? You may just not have enough. I know I use a less light when I want to slow down my clones.

They appear to be starting to show.
Your light source is part of the fuel system of your plant.
You can have a fast car with a big engine but if it can only hold a gallon fuel a day you wont get far very fast.

Thank you by the way for the advice one thing I'm never sure on is watering schedules

As a new grower I recommend the finger test.

How far are you keeping your lights from canopy? 49w is about the output of a 48" T5. I believe Wally world or any hardware store will have a dual T5 fixture for cheap that will give you way better results. They even have led shop lights now for around $20.

Would start with getting what you have closer to your canopy and maybe look into one of the options I've mentioned above if your budget is of concern.

Bmg1982 · Jan 28, 2020

Would also suggest you get back to a 12/12 schedule. If you feel like living on the wild side 12.5 on and 11.5 off may help your situation. 10/14 is definitely counter productive to your DLI (daily light intake)

Ok I need to know more about the finger test

Your temp swing isn't bad but more lighting will help. It will flower but the buds won't swell without better light and you'll end up with airy buds.

There are a lot of posts on this site about light. Give them a read.

Put your finger in the dirt.
Is it wet or moist?

I took the attached screenshot from one of your photos and it appears female and is showing preflowers. Perhaps throwing such a small immature plant into flower is why it took so long, might not have been ready. Good luck with your lady, happy growing!!
