Fairenough the heat seems okay and everything is fine?
The plants look like they will make it to harvest,they dont look bad just a bit of nitrogen claw,ive seen much worse at this stage.Keep in mind any kind of toxicity Is going to affect yield in some way,take what you have learned from this run and next one will be even better.

Lol.. that's really, really dumb..
He's talking in meters. And 4 600w in an 8x8ft tent is actually about right.


One thing to the OP though - I think you should not assume the plants will finish when the pack says they will. Especially since you have used a bit much Nitrogen which always adds to your flowering time when the mistake is made (happens especially with new plants you've never run depending on your setup).

I'd recommend waiting until pistils start to recede personally to harvest or until you're around 90% milky trichromes (with the odd amber) depending on desired effect and the plant.

Depends on what you're feeding with. But GH's 3 part for example a lot of guys don't use the veg bottle at all in flower. You can drop it that way in a multi part. Or if you're using ferts you're buying from a big box store (for say tomatoes or whatever, it works, don't knock it) you can look for something slightly different. Or you can just cut the feed back. I'd start with just cutting the feed back to start. Just a bit, they look pretty healthy other than some slight N toxicity. You're doing good IMO - especially for a first go around. Make sure they don't dry out too - that can sometimes cause toxicity as the pH shifts from a lack of water and all of a sudden its nute city in your plant.

Have no experience with Dutch Pro I'm afraid. Can't help, but you could dial back whichever bottle has the N in it and see what happens. It looks like you will have a nice harvest if you keep it up.

You'll do alright, definitely more than an ounce lol.

You learn from every run IME.

Here are a few pics of Sum AK48's that I just grew. I got around 2.5oz per plant
How long did that take to complete? Mine is on 47th day flower and looks nothing like that? But it's still got soft buds and white pistols? It says it usually takes 7-8 weeks but mine is not showing any signs of giving up yet lol

It takes me about 80-90 days from seed to harvest. I've learned that It will almost always take 2-4wks longer than what the description suggests.

That will explain why it's still like that then lol cheers
What setup are you running?
I've been growing 4 autos at a time & I'm using 5gal smart pots with FFOF soil mixed with 30% perlite & I use FF nutes w RO water ph'd to 6.5 under a spydr600LED in a 4x4 tent.

(there are better LED's out now though that are alot cheaper)
