hey thanks Cannabissapean. ill try that. i have tons of blossoms thwy just dount set. i read if i tickel the open flowers it will help them blossom but still no luck 

[Cannabissapean 1,223]

I think tickling the open flowers will help them to pollinate and then grow the seedpod.

[jHumbert 97]

Thank you nvmedigrower!

I have a wheelbarrow of peppers this summer!!! Carolina Reaper, Habanero Red and Chocolate, Trinidad Moruga Scorpion and Naga Morich.

[nvmedigrower 69]

thats awsome man. did you do any thing to get them to set? what are your day time temps. im about 95 f. that could be the problem. but my jalapenos are doing awsome

[jHumbert 97]

I have the same temp here outside, but no problem for me. I didn't do anything, I gave to them a little fertilization and remember just don't let the soil become completely dry!

I have also lollipopped the plants up to the first fork! In this way the energy goes directly to the fruits!

[nvmedigrower 69]

those are beautiful. hope you like it spicy.  i was gonna make some tobacco type hot sause / fermented. ya i havent let them get dry. and i have the super soil anf using a high p k compost tea. ivgot tons of flowers bit no peppers. hope they start to set in this cooler weather im getting. but ya man looking like you got it going on. mrb green thumb

[jHumbert 97]

Yeah I like it spicy...!

Hi guys, 18th day of flowering and Peyote #2 doesn't show strong signs of bloom.

I don't understand this plant, in the vegetative stage was shorter and slower and now I can't detect the sex with certainty. No bananas visible!

In the first picture you see the Peyote Purple #1, she's fine and up with other.

In the second picture you see Peyote Purple #2 from above, and in the 3rd and 4th pictures from the side.

Any suggestions? It could be a hermaphrodite?

[SantaBuds 610]

nice!!!!!

JHumbert,

Give this a try: 

Try to induce flowering with light deprivation.  Put that plant into 100% darkness for 36 to 60 hours straight, then return to 12/12.  If it's a female, that should do the trick...

 

(yes, corrected to 60 to fit with my logic)

[jHumbert 97]

Thank you Cannabissapean, I've never tried that forcing bloom method.

Now I read several people saying they're sure that the 24 hour dark period before starting the 12/12 light cycle made the plant start kicking out flowers sooner, but I'm already at the end of the 3rd week. Is not too late to do that?

[Cannabissapean 1,223]

In my opinion, no, it is not too late.  The plant is a photoperiod-triggerred organism.  It should still react by starting blooms.  But 24 hours is not enough; that's just a hiccough (hiccup).  And besides, 24 hours light deprivation would put her 180° out of sync with the other plants.

When I have used this method, I have always used either 36 hours or 60 hours light deprivation.  That way you can return her to the 12/12 tent at the beginning of the über-next light cycle or the über-über-next light cycle.

Explained in detail:  

 

After she completes a 12 hour light-ON period, put her in darkness for 36 hours.    ----->  That would be 12-hours(what normally would have been dark anyway) + 12-hours(what would have been lighted) + 12-hours(normally dark anyway), then back to the normal 12/12 light cycle at the beginning of a light-on period. 

It's not as dramatic as it seems when you figure, 12+12+12 = 36 hours, but she has only missed 12 hours of light from her normal schedule.  She can handle that easily, but it still might not be enough to trigger her to start flowers.

 

If you want to deprive her of 2 light cycles, then you need to use the 60 hour light deprivation method.  After she completes a 12 hour light-ON period, put her in darkness for 60 hours.    ----->  That would be 12-hours(what normally would have been dark anyway) + 12-hours(what would have been lighted) + 12-hours(normally dark anyway) + 12-hours (what would have been lighted) + 12-hours(normally dark anyway),then back to the normal 12/12 light cycle at the beginning of a light-on period. 

That's also not as dramatic as it seems when you figure, 12+12+12 +12+12 = 60 hours, but she has only missed 2x12 = 24 hours of light from her normal schedule.  I figure that I have succeeded if I can detect a slight yellowing in the center of the grouping of new-growth leaves at the tips of the branches and at the top coala.

Thank you very much Cannabissapean! Nice method! But.....this morning things have changed!

This strange plant started to bloom...

It's possible this plant took some light during the night, she's just in front of the tent zipper....

[jHumbert 97]

[Cannabissapean 1,223]

Ahaahaahaa, wonderful !!   She blooms!

And I love your drug-sniffer dog...

[jHumbert 97]

4th week of flowering

Here it's all right! The tent is full!

The 2 Peyote Purple have different rythms but same size and same wonderfull leaf structure.

The Alien OG drinks like a fish and she's a huge plant .

Original Amnesia never stops growing, I had to put many bamboos.

Tangies are fine and seem to be very productive!

[nvmedigrower 69]

wow they are lookin great. keep it up my friend

[Dust 6,284]

Nice resin already for that early stage on one of the peyote. I like the taste of that strain, here in spain a lot of people do peyote purple in outdoor and it taste really nice.

 

Have a good flowering with your ladies

[jHumbert 97]

Thank you nvmedigrower! Yes they are looking great and I'll keep it up!

Thank you Dust, I've never smoked this strain, I saw a lot of pictures and videos and I was fascinated by the colours, the structure, the resin production and they say she has shampoo taste...

Do you think I need to flush my plants in Super Soil before harvest? I know there are opposing opinions.

 

[nvmedigrower 69]

from what ive been reading there is no need to flush your super soil. as long as you dount use conventional ferts with high amounts of salt.  i just joined a page on face book. probiotic farmers alliance. they have great sources for organic gardening. iv learnt alot there. 

[jHumbert 97]

Hello guys, first month of flowering.

I have two different Tangie phenos: the first one has a fruity aroma, the second one is more skunky. The structure is also a little different.

 

 

 

 

[jHumbert 97]

Perhaps I'm wrong, I think the Tangie #1 closeup picture is the ALien OG, I don't know for sure...

[Mykol76 645]

beautiful garden !!
How feeding your plants, compost tea?
or until now only water?
