Default Re: Dwarf Orinoco flowering!

I think the extra heat from the mini greenhouse (frost bag) helps. Orinoco will start dropping their leaves at about 28°'s & below. Be careful not to over heat & scald the bunch when the temps are above 80°.

Push the bunch hard by fertilizing with potassium. I use potassium sulfate. I put 3 or 4 hand fulls in a 2 gal bucket and fill with water. The potassium will dissolve to a concentration of 111 g/L. I give 2 1/2 gt to the plant weekly. Refill the bucket until the potassium sulfate is gone.

Tytylor uses mutate of potassium. PM him for his recommendations for application.

With some warm weather & luck, the bunch might mature in about 60 days.

I think in you location, some regular fertilizer will help keep the plant and pups going strong thought a mild winter. I will be applying some to my plants this month and in January.
