I have a Mtssa. Royal Robe "Jerry's Pick" and WOW!!! It is huge, it must have 25 pb's and yet I cannot for the life of me get it to bloom. Any advice at all?

Thanks,

Danny

time to stress it or blast it with light- gradually so you dont burn it..... maybe some kln to kick it up a bit--- please take my advice with a grain of salt, and wait to see what the other members rec!

Cookie, you're closer than you think! In my experience, more light will almost always do the trick, and I mean a lot more light. If you burn a couple of the leaves in the process, don't worry, Danny, it will survive. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Thank you, I will definately step up the light and definately keep everyone posted. Thanks for the help

So I've stepped up the light but I guess I am being too nice because there is still no sign of spiking.

I'll keep trying lol

Be patient, I know it's not easy, but this isn't going to happen over night.

Yup, more light. I have a very small division of Mtssa. Dark Star 'Darth Vadar', and it's right between 2 T5 lights and is kicking out it's very first spike. It does take time, and may even take another bloom cycle.

I'll bet it's that radiation thing again!!

Lol, I'm not so sure about the radiation but we'll see, I'm really just excited to watch it. But it would be very cool to see some spiking lol.
