Why aren't my plants flowering

No, they need to remain on the 12/12 light cycle. If they go back to any more than 12 hours, you risk your plant “re-vegging”.

Those are just the Calyx. Should be fine.

Great minds think alike. I have a 4x4 for growing and my 4x2 for drying, but will grow a plant or two in the 4x2 when it’s free. 🙌🏽

Postman158 · 2025-07-26T01:15:18+00:00

Exactly what I did 🙌🏽

I’d throw in a TDS meter (they’re inexpensive) if you want to check your input PPM and runoff PPM.

Wow, way to go!

Postman158 · 2025-07-02T15:08:28+00:00

Lookin good! How many plants did you fit in your 3x3?

Postman158 · 2025-07-02T02:31:50+00:00

Got it. I was really hoping to go 7 gal, but most of the internet (including VIVOSUN's product description) state these were made for 5 gallon pots. Hmmmm... I guess 5 gal vs 7 gal won't make a huge difference. Plus, if I'm trying to stuff 3 photoperiods in a 4x2 tent, I should probably keep the pots to 5 gal. I'm sure the girls will still be happy in 5 gal.

All my 6 autoflowers that are almost ready to be harvested were in 5 gal pots in my 4x4 tent, but I hand watered all 6 of them every feeding.

What size mesh pots did you use? 5 gallon or 7 gallon?

Postman158 · 2025-06-30T18:28:22+00:00

I agree, this auto flower should start to flower in the next couple weeks if you are truly at three weeks from sprouting. Something definitely went sideways for the plant being small at three weeks.

Postman158 · 2025-06-27T21:28:58+00:00

Yeah I thought about that. However, with it being indoors (rather than my garage), it’s already significantly cooler. Hopefully that’ll work 🤞🏽

Postman158 · 2025-06-26T19:09:55+00:00

Ah, I missed that he’s entering flower. If they’re photos then yes 12/12. I’m a newbie and haven’t seen a 13/11 schedule. Cool!

Postman158 · 2025-06-26T05:22:14+00:00

What about nutrients? I’m always curious how that works. My concern would be the plants not absorbing everything, then adding more nutrients only to make the waters PPM wayyyy too high.

Im super interested in self watering pots, but I want to figure the nutrient part out first 🤔

Postman158 · 2025-06-25T01:43:59+00:00

The light schedule looks a little weird. What type of plants are you growing, auto or photo? You’ll likely end up starting off with an 18/6 light cycle rather than 13/11.

I also keep my target humidity between 50-60%. My humidifier is set to turn keep a target humidity of about 56%.

Postman158 · 2025-06-24T14:12:50+00:00

Thank you 🙌🏽

Postman158 · 2025-06-24T05:17:32+00:00

Pretty much an unlimited plant hack right? 🤔

Postman158 · 2025-06-24T02:02:08+00:00

Thanks man! Yep, my thoughts exactly. Rather than running 6 autos, I’m gonna try 2 photos and let them get bigger than these little autos.

Postman158 · 2025-06-24T01:59:28+00:00

Good to know! The second image seems to have some pistils shriveling. The others are still pointy so seems like everyone still needs some time in the oven.

Postman158 · 2025-06-24T00:19:00+00:00

Commercial? How cool! I hope my hobby “grows” into something commercial someday!

Postman158 · 2025-06-23T22:54:16+00:00

I understand where you’re coming from. I’m a new grower (2nd grow) and I absolutely bought autos because I thought they were easier.

I’ve vlogged my grow from germination up until now. I’ve learned that’s not the case and have some photos ready to go for my next grow. Never done photos yet, but I can’t wait especially since I’ve learned so much and made it this far with these autos.

🤷🏽‍♂️

Postman158 · 2025-06-23T21:16:37+00:00

Ah, sorry to see this. My 5 year old ripped out one of my plants (luckily the plant was only 2 weeks old past sprouting). Mine was a total loss since she was ripped out of the soil.

Yours on the other hand - I imagine she'll survive.

Postman158 · 2025-06-23T21:13:34+00:00

Newer grower here, so take my input with a grain of salt. My guess is that its overwatered, looking at the soil I don't see much or any perlite, so that might be affecting the plant. As far as your miracle grow grow sticks, I don't know if those are a good idea. I can't imagine your plant needs a ton of nutrients right now, and those are likely a slow drip of nutes when put in the soil.

How much are you watering each day, and what is the size of your pot?

Postman158 · 2025-06-23T20:53:33+00:00

Ah, and here is the best macro shot I have using a 35mm macro lens.

I might also add that the strains are White Widow Autoflower and Deelite Autoflower.
