Won't stop flowering?

Hi everyone, this is only my second grow (following 2 previous failed attempts through perfectionism)

I need some advice with my Sensi seeds Skunk number 1s - I chose the seeds for their short flowering time of 40-45 days on the packet because i wanted a really short flowering strain so i could harvest 6 weeks after changing the lights. I vegged them for about 3-4 weeks so as a result they are about 2.5 feet tall in their 6th week (time of photos). However their is no sign of a single orange/brown hair - new eruptions of white hairs on the sides of the buds - so basically theirs no sign of slowing down! Time is slightly of the essence, but only due to money issues, but i obviously want to crop them at the optimum time with max yeild!

I am growing in an attick with one 600W air-cooled HPS (red) and one 200W envirolight blue frequency next to it (plants regularly moved around to ensure a good ratio of both): 9 skunk number ones in b&q multipurpose compost fed with terra vega + flores, ph 6.5.

In your (vast collective) experience guys, has anyone every grown Number 1s and if so what kind of flowering time did you experience? Can anyone give a vague estimate as to how 'near' these ladies are? Anyone care to offer an estimate as to the total yield?

This is only my second harvest so i literally have no basis to estimate any of this stuff - im in a perpetual state of excitement hoping 'they'll be done tomorrow' and as a result i havent fed them for 3 weeks (waiting to avoid the chemical taste) - Hoewever i cracked two days ago and gave them a 3/4 dose of canna terra flores cos i figured if they have any more flowering to do i should at least try and boost it rather then expecting it to end. (i could always just flush before the 48 hours of darkness and endure the extra drying - or is this not reccomended?)

It really looks like im getting it right this time so i really dont want to fuck up with the feeding, so basically i wish i had an idea of how far along they were if the flowering time on the packet is innacurate. Anway enough talking here are the pics. PLEASE POST ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THE STRAIN along with estimates of flowering time and yield. Thanks so much

Your close, I'd go 1 to 2 more weeks

can't guess yields based on those pics but they are lookin good

Did you start counting from the time flwers appeared from when you switch the lights? Also breeders only give flowering time as a guide line to best conditions of growing!

Yes i'm counting from light switch - got flowers within 10 days so that means i'm ten days ahead of schedule! C|ouldnt find a definitive site online saying whether that counted from flower showing or light -switching. So basically if im 1-2 weeks away i shouldnt feed anymore, or do you think i should feed when i water next week?

re. yield estimate - 2.5 feet tall (pot is about 25 cm tall)

8-12 weeks from 12/12 onset. Will be closer to 12 weeks for those sativas.

herb do what herb do, let it flower for however long it needs. That blue light might be part of it, it may be encouraging new growth. Try taking some pics with the lights off, you know, normal daylight or something, so we can get a better idea.

if you want them to Finnish quicker cut the light back an hour I would keep going how you are though they look awsome

umm, flowering time is when you go to 12/12 right. please tell me flowering cycle starts then, not when u see hairs.......oh and if u tell me i am wrong please dont lie

rule of thumb is when you flip to 12/12

but that does not mean the breeders are saying that

they are done when they are done, most new growers chop early (no patience) there are very few pics of actually done (ripe) buds on this site

I cant really tell if you should stop feeding from them pics, but yea you should start counting from when flowers appear! You cant really judge yeild this by stats but i can tell you that i gave a skunk#1 to a friend and he yeilded bout 1 and half oz's from it under a 400w hps!
