The plants look close to being done but I cant really tell from those pics. If you say their amber, then their amber. Overall appearance (from the lousy pic) looks like its not done and need a bit more.
combination of supercroping and lst works great. every 2 weeks or so pull them back more so lower regions get more light then more pop up. keeps it low and manageable.
super crop them by pinching the mian cola back in veg this redistributes the auxin so that other portions of the plant receive equal amount of it.
bone what makes you think they need more time. this is ak-49 they say it can be done in 7 weeks (we all know thats BS) however it should be an early finisher.
i am not aiming for all amber because i dont want to sleep after i smoke. although some are amber
when i remove the buds i leave areas with leaves on then put in the veg room and give it veg nutes. because the plant already has a well developed root system it will grow faster and more vigrious also producing a better more potent harvest
how long does it take for it to start normal veg growth? also, what kinda lights? i might try it this time with a couple of my plants. does it cut down on veg time so you can flower again in a couple of weeks of re-veg?
