Hey everyone,
Newbie grower here, having problems after switching to 12/12.
Started my first grow project when i read you could go from seed to smoke in 90 days, i just had to try. However that is under optimal conditions i realized. My setup initally was just throwing some bagseeds in a pot under a 9w Floro Indoor. I was broke when i started. After 2 months of extremely slow growth - switched to a 50w LED Cool bright. That’s when the plant really took off. The plant was in Veg (18-6) from Jan till June. Finally decided to setup the flowering room with a 12/12 timer. It has been almost 4 weeks under flowering, but no signs of bud forming. The plant is not thriving the way in Veg. Its yellowing and the leaves are showing unhealthy body language. No idea what i have done wrong. Would hate to lose the plant. Have been eagerly waiting to try some homegrown bud but things are not working out as planned.
Would be grateful for suggestions.
Copied this from thread template asking for help. Will add pics ASAP
