Hi guys,
So I am venturing into the realm of microgrowing, since outdoor became a bit too risky for me.
I constructed a little 22 liter bucket and vegged a clone of Greenhouse Seeds Big Bang (fem). It vegged beautifully for 6 weeks under 2x25W 6400K CFL's.
After six weeks of 18 hours of light I switched it to 12/12 and changed one of those bulbs with a 30W 2700K CFL. They spent 1 week under this light, when my new bulbs arrived and now it is under 2x38W 2700K CFL's.
12 Days have passed and still I see no increase in pistils. In fact I have just a few pistils, that were there before I switched to 12/12.
The plant has vegged in a 4 liter pot. Last night I transplanted it to a 7 liter pot and filled it with worm castings, hoping that this would stimulate it to flower.
Temperature in the bucket is steady 27-30 degrees Celsius (overall temperature is 2 degrees above room temperature). Humidity is in the range of 58-64%.
And last night something strange happened, my mechanical timer has f*cked up and it didn't switch off. So last night they spent about 16-17 hours under lights (before I noticed this and cut the power). I immediately bought a new one.
I know this is stressfull for them, but I hope it won't delay the start of flowering for one more week.
So has anyone flowered Big Bang before? Is it normal that it doesn't start flowering after two weeks of 12/12?
P.S. On the picture the bulbs seem pretty white, but that is due to my shitty phone camera. They are 2700K for sure
P.S. 2. Just remembered something... I FIM'ed most of the tops before turning to 12/12, could that be slowing it down?
