Do these look okay?

[PPandora]

First time Grower, sorry if my setup sounds weird, I made some mistakes, but learned for next time! Lol.

My setup:

300 Watt LED
4x 150 Watt cfl's
20g res, to 6x 5g buckets with misting system & airstones.
Mills nutrients
1600ppm
6.0ph
55 - 65 degrees

Today is week 9-10 since I switched my plants to flowering.

Here is where the drama comes in.

I some how was lead to stupidly believe that auto flowers, fully grew, flowered & ready for harvest in 2 short months. But in actuality I found out its 2 months before flowering starts. Well with this in mind I planted 2x auto flowers, and 3x random seeds I had around. They all grew just fine. But, I switched my light cycle to 12-12 to try to follow "flowering time" of the auto flowers. I did this only 6 weeks after planting the seed sprouts.

I'm now stressing out because I've realised after thinking I've been doing so good, I'm actually totally upside down and have no idea when and what I should be doing next.

How long would someone guess is left for time? I'm not impatient, just confused.
When should I switch to flush? I for the past few weeks have been thinking next week I am going to switch to a 2 week flush, but I am not sure I'd the plants will be ready...

Any help would be amazing.

Also to add. Only 2 plants actually look really full. This photo is of a fuller one & a not so full one.

Yeah, the look ok.

Just keep doing what you've been doing until they are ready. I'd say you have another 6 weeks give or take for the fullest one and another 1-2 weeks for they lesser developed. That's all just a wild estimate from me, I don't know what the strains are or how the plants actually look considering the bright LED lights.

Sign's of stress,what Nutrient's?

They look pretty healthy to me. They don't seem deficient, that's for sure. Gluck on finishing them out.

IMO they are about 4 to 5 weeks done. Don't put time limits on when they will be finished as its all down to strain and how you like your bud.
I wouldn't worry to much about flush, from your first post I assume your doing hydro? If so in my experience and a lot of others 4 to 5 days is ample time to allow flush, honestly I have also not flushed at all and really couldn't tell a difference but its all opening up a can of worms lol

Keep doing what your doing pal there looking good to me

Thanks for all the responses!

I'm using Mills nutrients and it seems noone else knows about them, but my local hydro shop said it's the best. I guess my issue and concern is that because I'm doing a 6 bucket setup with a res, it's difficult to give all plants a happy nute mix medium. Some plants seem to be burnt by 1500ppm while the big plants love it. Mistakes of a first time grow I suppose!

Im using Mills for my soil grow. Its working great for me. My local hydro store had it and its pretty sweet. My first grow with it. Good luck!

You are REALLY pushing it at 1600 ppm. I would recommend never going above 1400 ppm, even for a heavy feeder. You create a chance of hermies with the possibility of shock as a result of too much food. I peak out my feeding at 6 weeks at 1400 (with a heavy feeder) in a drip system, and then go backwards to 700 at finish, thus eliminating the need for a flush.

Thanks for this! I'm just going off what my light feed schedule says and thats what it ends up being for ppm. I'll go top it off with some regular water and slowly bring it back down.

Mills has a "polishing formula" that's suppose to be used the 4 weeks leading up to a 1 week flush.

Because I was thinking the plants where in this phase I switched to this polish nute last week. Should I empty the res, and fix the solution? Or do you think it will be okay to keep going with the Polish nute from here out?

Sorry for all the silly questions. I have done all I can on my own. I don't know anyone around my area that knows anything at all so these worries have been dwelling inside me. I feel like in these final stages I'm gunna mess up and kill the plants! =(
