Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

Hello everyone, Just wondering what you think about time left on my Plant-E. Here are a couple particulars that may help:

Strain: AK47/M9 hybrid
Vegged: 4 months
Flower: Beginning of 7th week
Light: 8 CFL's in all different spectrums
Medium: Soil w/Rainbox Mix Bloom & Molasses, water weekly

I'm a newb and this is my first grow and would love any advice. I have a 60x - 100x microscope with LED I've been checking twice a day. I still haven't found any amber...(Looking for about 5%, then harvest) I want the energetic head buzz....Most Trichs are still clear and maybe 15% are cloudy. Most pistils are not receding yet. Also, If you look at pic #2, I'm noticing some strange growth....it almost appears 4-5 buds are appearing on top of the cola....I heard this was an 8 weeker....When should I flush? Although I'm only using Molasses in the water for nutes...I have 'organic' Rainbox Mix Bloom mixed in soil...(guano etc)

Also, Please note: You will see some dark brown/reddish pistils. I believe its bruising due to my lack of skill learning to use microscope.




hey eyedotz it is very hard to judge how long a plant has left to flwr when its done with cfl's the best advice i can give you and this was the best advice ive ever been given in my growing career is fuck them cfls off and go get yourself a 250w hps off ebay for 50 £/$ its the best thing u could do see in that 4 month its taken u to veg them plants its taken me less time to veg/flower and harvest and they are all fat i did 3 grows with cfl's until i just couldnt handle the shit weed i was getting any more and the lack of it so i got my self a 250w hps here is a couple of my pics from one of my cfl grows compared to one of my 250w hps grows
View attachment 1861760View attachment 1861761these 2 are of a cfl grow that took 6 month until i gave up and chopped it because it wasnt looking like others i was seeing online it smelled nice while growing but after i let it dry 9 days it smelled like hay it was shit so i took the advice i got off here and got a hps here are a couple of pics off my first 250w hps grow check out the difference in size and it wasnt just size what was better it tasted and smelled like proper bud when dry
View attachment 1861762View attachment 1861770View attachment 1861771best days of my growing watching my plant turn into fat beasts like the pics online instead of leafy grass smelling homegrown i coulnt even give it away lol im not dissin ur grow im just tellin ya my experience and many others from budding with cfls compared to hps its badder than bad matey
nowa days tho 2 year on from my 250w in my spare room days i got a grow tent and carbon filter with a 600w hps i grow 10 plants a time and like i said before get from seedling to harvest in less than the 4 month it took u to veg with cfls
here are a few pics the strain is emerald triangle super sour og and oh boy does it smell sour

ya know i only read ur post after i posted a reply lol ya seem to know what ur doin but the advice above still goes if ya want fat peng get a hps they come in 100watts hps too which will do for 1 plant i read that really u should only use mollases at the last 3 week ive never heard anyone using it all the way on its own without other nutes so basically ur just feeding it suger it seem to have turned out ok tho so carry on any plant feed from the store will help ya know especially the ones that have bllom of nice pretty open flowers on the from of the bottle

Querkle clone 7weeks and 2 days 12/12. Mostly cloudy with a lil clear. Sour smelling with a hint of grape. Should I keep going to week 8?
