I've been flowering for 54 days and these plants are almost 85 days old!

I imagine they're not doing the best for that amount of time but this is my first grow and I didn't have a great amount of lighting for the majority of the grow.

As you can see, the pistils are all starting to turn red and alot of the vegetative fan leaves have died and fell off.
How much longer do you think these plants have to go?







I'm running around 480w of lighting, 36,500 lumens total.

Thanks.

How do you get 480W???

And well depending on your light, LUMENS don't add up. 1000 lumens + 1000 lumens = 1000 lumens.


But, looking at the pictures. They are not ready to chop. By the pictures it still needs more time, you can see by how all of your leaves are still very green and just all around looking like it needs a week or more. Don't go by days.

I don't even count days anymore. Read the plants they tell you everything you need to know about them. You just have to learn how to read them in time.

Of course. I have :

2x40w cool 4ft floros
2x40w warm 4ft floros
4x26w warm CFLs
150w HPS

I was thinking maybe two weeks left.

I think it will look so much better in two weeks. Start to flush (if you haven't already) and use 1Tsp (tablespoon) of molasses. When you go to the store look for the darkest stuff they have. I've gone with that method and so far the dark stuff worked better then the last I got.

I use Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses. FYI

Sounds great to me. I started flushing a few days ago. I actually have a full jar of Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses, not sure if it's dark.. but at least it's Grandma's. I was thinking of using it in my next watering already, I will :D.

Thanks for the help :D.

Anyone else have any input?

Grandma's Unsulphured Molasses is pretty dark. Once the jar gets lower, pick it up, turn it over, then try to see light through it. Not that it matters for anything but I thought it was pretty cool.

They look damn good .
but the son agro hps bulb puts out around 56k lumens @ 430watt's.

Just a thought cause you are using 480 watts which would cover both the 430 hps & the balace.

It's been two weeks and here's photos:









The buds have fattened quite a bit, there's more crystals and more pistils are amber. They look very tasty.
None of the crystals have changed to amber yet, I'm going to wait till the 17th and see how things are then.

What does everyone else think? :D

Also, I turned the lights to 10/14. Is this advisable? I figured I'd experiment. These plants were once accidentally on 8/16(yes 8/16) for three days and developed female preflowers in that time. I want to harvest these plants soon so lets see what 10/14 does.

Just watered them with 3 liters each, put about 2 tablespoons or less of Grandma's Unsulphered Molasses in the water. After this I will flush them all the way through.

Two weeks left you think? I'm not sure the strain of these seeds but I believe they're a form of AK47, at least half Sativa, this could increase their flowering time.. but AK47 is supposed to finish fast. I just don't know.

Anyone?
