How much time left for these girls? EXPERIENCED ADVICE

Lmfao no.
7 1/2 weeks.
6 Weeks if you want to cut it short.

We are long past that bro. Check the last post. They slowed down their vertical growth and now they are doing just fine building bud.
Pics on last post are 38 days into flowering with I think about 18 more to go. Is that number accurate in your experience?
 
You could lower your light cycle to 10 hours of daylight and 14 hours of night, but at this point in the grow you will reduce your yield and potency.
that can also dramatically increase the possibility of hermaphroditism. not a good idea.

So I got a few snaps during the 6 minute delay bewteen the CFL's and the HPS turning on. I'm starting to think my fan leaf issue is nute burn combined with end of the road development of the plant feeling it's impending fall/winter demise. Thanks mother nature.

Although fan leaves are feeling it, the calyxes and buds have fattened up since Saturday when I flushed and added the Overdrive. Some of the kolas are starting to get a nice gangsta lean because of their weight. :clap:
Question: all synthetic nutes were used, GH Micro/Bloom - Cal-Mag - AN Bud Candy/Big Bud/Overdrive - should I flush for 1 week or 2 weeks? I've been adding more nutes to refill the reservoir every other day, but I was thinking of just adding water next week, then starting my flush. Any suggestions?

hey man those buds are looking great!!
but those leaves are looking a little burned up i would think to start flushing soon though,
but wouldnt know cause i never really ever flushed before cause i grow in soil and organics!!
 
and yeah sorry cant help you much with the ferts cause i dont use them..
i only use seaweed and molasses and a rich composted manure, peat moss, black earth soil and gonna try some bananas for flowering this year!!:weed:

bananas hell yea. I remember making a banana smoothie for our bubble berry way back in the day, had a little unwelcome smell but def helped out, had no other K alt at the time.

FLUSH! damn synthetics. I dont use synthetics but at least with organics (heavy) I have found flushing isnt even necessary, just plain water for last two weeks

Everything is really looking great! Harvesting is a matter of patience and observation... Since you have been having a little trouble looking under the microscope let me suggest something that works great for me. It is called an Optivisor... it comes in various strengths, but I would recommend the 3.5x magnification.. it is what I use to set tiny 1mm stones when making jewelry. It also allows me to look at the resin glands hands free!

As far as how along your pretty girls are, I would say at least 4 weeks... the reasoning is that all the hairs are stark white, and the bud mass is not even close to approaching the length of those stigmas. Those buds will double in size in the last 2 weeks of flowering. All of your potentcy starts to emerge in those last moments of budding, after your last flush and during your starvation period of the plant. 3-4 weeks for sure bro...


good gardening ;)

Ok, thanks a lot. I seem to be having some trouble though. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I'm doing the best I can. Fan leaves are pretty fughed up top on the colas. And this morning one big stem on one of the MK plants fell down, didn't break off, just decided to take a dive. Kinda fughed up some branches on a neighbor plant. I went in with some twine and strung things up as best as I could. So I will do two more weeks of nutes and then flush. I really don't have any other time, and from the way the water pump and air pump are sounding and producing, I think the root masses are just too damn big and long for those 5 gallon buckets. I think I DEFINITELY need to shorten the veg time if I was to do this again since flowering takes so long. If I started to flower at the first sign of sexing or if I adopted a scrog system, I think things would go so much smoother. But hey, live and learn. Thanks for the positive feedback y'all, it's keeping me motivated.
