still looking good, its hard to say without a scope of some sort, you cant just go by time you have to look at the trichomes (sp) do you have any sort of magnifying lense, I bought a cheap jewlers loup on ebay for like $4 us agnifies 10x....... so you are running 375w correct?? are all of your lights above your ladies or are you using some side lighting?

yup 375w cfl's, 250w is above them under a reflector and 125w is hanging around the side of the 4 plants so it reaches mid/lower branches, then the plants are rotated daily to get equal light

now iv added my blue spectrum 250w envirolite to the mix;

so now thats .... 375watts of red spectrum and 250watts of blue spectrum across 4 ladys total of 625watts of cfl light.

im hoping for the final few weeks of flower with this much amount of light on them they will really fatten up and make me very proud on harvest lol

not going to spraf here, just keep this one short. Its amazing to see how much they've produced since the last update I saw of them sometime last week/early this week. They are looking lush. Have you decided how much longer in flowering you're going to keep them?? Any ideas what time scope you're lookin at from now till 1st smoke after harvest/curing??

well thats them at end of week 5, 35 days done, so going by that im aiming for another 20 odd days so about another 3 weeks, then offcourse drying and curing i haven't a clue as iv never done it b4, but 1 thing is for sure, i wont be rushing it, il make sure i nick a few small nugs 2 smoke whilst there curin n dryin but the most of it will be done with gd time to ensure the best possible smoke.

Dude your plants are looking brilliant. Which is reassuring as im about to swap to a 200w Envirolite! I royally messed my grow up with a HPS and heat issues so decided to swap. Just need to figure out how to set one up as i doubt i can use the same lamp/reflector as my HPS.

Those bud sites are looking beautiful, keep up the good work! +rep

you want to water them with just water, starting two weeks before harvest. hope that help

ok thanks, so maybe one more feed in a few days then just plain water.

iv heard that you need to use 3x the volume of water the pot can hold to flush in last 2 weeks, surely that will be too much, can i not jus keep watering em em every 5 odd days for the last 2 weeks like normal but without any nute solution?
