Do bigger plants take longer to flower?
Not to my knowledge intregajosh if any thing they are quicker to show buds.
They have normally been vegged for longer so are more mature and most likely already shown sex.
Looking at the pics it looks similar to re-vegging. I would definitely check you lighting if the plants are in a separate groom. Look at the bulb make sure its not blackening if it is change it. When growing with hps always have a spare even if it is a old one. My timer recently was switching my hps off and on i did notice for a while until it done it whilst i was feeding the plants. I changed the timer and bulb and bingo all was good as i always have spare of both these.
Just to check if you have a dimmable ballast make sure you have not turned it down by accident 600w bulbs do not run well at 250w .

Hello mate, i can see you been given soms top advice already. The hydro girl doesn't look right to me. Something is faulty and you need to find out what.

I'd start from the timers, lights and check all the way down to the roots as well as res temps.

I've seen monsters flowering as early as small plants so it's all about hitting the sweet spot with feeds, environment to get them flowering.

Hey dude,

Your coming out with some cracking questions atm bud

Personally I'd think it's a medium choice, I've heard a few times that plants in hydro compared to the same plant in soil will mature to ripe for flowering sooner

Personally I'd say it looks like the hydro plant has missed a step or 2 in the feed cycle. Like she has been taken to feeding PK heavy before the growth tips are truly set for flower possibly combined with light stress. My front gelato looks very similar tbh with the terribly formed top buds but everything below the top 2-3 inches is forming up correctly

Its the fibre finger leaves that have pushed away from the bud that's really leading me to think it's switching to bloom feed early for the plant that's done it

Hope ya get it sorted mate

It's funny you mentioned that because week 3 of flower I hit it with 1 ml per L of pk boost, which should have been .5 ml/L
I had what seemed to be nitrogen toxicity so I flushed and went back to normal feed

Thank you for the replies everyone, got some bad news/good news depending on how you look at it.
Changed the rez last night and the water had turned murky with little root bits floating around almost looked like a shitload of hairs
The roots themselves looked fine, no bad smell or anything, but I think it may be time for h202 like many of you have suggested.

Any recommendations on tge amount per liter, and what type of h2o2?? I'll add to the rez today

I use Growth Technology liquid oxygen and it's 1ml/L daily or 2ml/L a coupld of times a week. Thats 11.9% h2o2 content.
If that helps.

Silver bullet is a good un too. Bit pricey, but you only add it once a week.

:)
Thanks marcus, just ordered some 12% on amazon
