Greenforge Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hi all, newbie here. I'm growing my first plant. It's indoors with LED lighting. It's afghan or afghan skunk. Anyway, it's taking a ridiculously long time to grow, it's been months. I have buds grown but the pistule type things wont go cloudy. I'm in Australia, sunrise at 6am, sunset at 8pm. Theres been hot weather and humidity lately which seem to make my plants branches sag. Even the main stem is starting to keel over. So I'm on this forum to learn how to speed up harvest time. I was using 12/12 lighting but just changed it to 10/14 because there is still some ambient light before and after those times. Guys, am I doing the right thing? I would muchly appreciate any advise to speed up harvest. Greenforge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naycha Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 More info and pics will help us help you. If you are growing indoors it is necessary for the dark cycle to be dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenforge Posted February 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yes, some light is getting passed the curtain(its (D.S.T). My timer is malfunctioning now.

Naycha Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Put them in a dark wardrobe or similar for the dark cycle if you don't have anything else. Also upload some pics for us to ogle at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenforge dark cycle really means dark , 12hrs completely dark if light has been getting in , the plant has most likely stalled plant thought it was flowering so it did then realised there was more light so is now in limbo or trying to re-veg , could take some time to do either , re-veg or continue to flower , especially if you don't sort the light leak timer stuffed get a new one , you'll never be as consistent as the timer &as you can see consistent light is importantmy 2c Hey guys this plant has been flowering for 10weeks , had its last feed 3 weeks ago , buds are still taking there time , reckon She needs another feed and then flush the hell out of her in a couple weeks? http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170102/b8e7ede5e02c714ed210c46d1182192a.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170102/fb3e6bafb052eedb303b50bc17ee39e7.jpgis this an outdoor grown plant ?canna plants are photoperiod plants , unless that's an auto standard canna requires light to tell it what to do , veg or flower / grow , bloomin melb although Dec 22nd was the turn around of days now getting shorter we are still in veg times , around the end of Jan , here anyway , is start of flower time is it poss your plant started flower when day light hours were short enough to do so but as the days got longer the plant stalled & is now trying to stop making flowers & start making branches again = re-vegging , single blade leaves are sometimes a sign of a plant re-vegging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlifeGC Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 So could this work out really good and get some big buds or should I harvest now and just cure it Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highlifeGC Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Or because it's always been so healthy could I kind of force it back into flowering by bringing it inside in a dark room around 6pm Sent from my iPhone using OZ Stoners mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybromusic Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 i think , at the mo the plant is trying to grow again which could be good cause they produce allot of branching out of bud sites however you have around 4 wks left of veg time , roughlyB4 the plant will start to flower again will you get enough growth to make it worth while considering the currant bud on the plant you say goodby to in fav of newbranching buds that will finish when they finishes if my grow & i was positive , this is the prob , i would consider taking the top & leaving the bottom to see what happens but your the grower , you need to be sure this is what's happening & not rely on a dude or dudes on a forum that are looking at pics & reading your words to diagnose a prob which is quite hard to do without standingin front of the plant itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
