6th week in flower
65 days from seed germed in paper towels
3 White Widows & 3 Big Bud

No problems this week. I have been topping off with Ph'd r/o bottled water daily and adding nutes when ppm drops below 1000ppm.
Height is around 17" and tons of nice sticky buds have formed on all branches and nodes. Smaller leaves around buds are also getting suggary.
Trimed some inner leaves on lower branches and removed some sucker branched and tiny lower buds to allow more light penetration. I want to force growth to the top buds.
I just added 1 more 100 W cfl on top next to the 150 w hps.
I syphoned off last weeks nutes and added Fox farm week 8 feeding mix and diluted it to get a ppm in the 1000 range.

01/04: MY GROW SETTINGS FOR 6th WEEK OF FLOWERING:

Lighting - 150 w hps, 4-100 w cfl, 1-150 w cfl and the AG 3 light hood all set on 12/12 timers.(Added 2 more cfl's on splitters -4 total)
AG Pro200 - set now on Tomatoes. After I posted these pix I ADDED 1 100 W CFL on top next to 150 w hps.
4" airstone running 24/7
6" fan OFF
10" oscillating fan blowing on leaves 24/7
Air temp range- 69-79 (Okay)
Humity range - 33-40 (Good)
Water temp - 71 -72
Ph - 5.2-5.5 Keeping water acidic. I hear lots of AG grows get root root so I'm keeping it in the lowest range possible without locking out nutes.
Nutes: 1000 ppm - 1100ppm Fox Farm (organic) nutes - Plannning to top off w/bottled RO water and adding nute to keep ppm lvel about 1000.
Drained and changed to FF Week 8 feeding schedule, modified and adjusted nute strength to 1000-1100ppm

Help me along here guys. How am I doing and what can I do to help out my grow?

Yeah, they are blowing up like crazy this past week. I sure hope they fill out. I'd really like to get 3 dry oz. outta this lot but I dont know if that's possible. I think they will be ready to cut the end of the month so I have about 4 weeks to go if I'm right...fingers xx"d

I got a gallon of ONA GEL and I can't smell a thing outside the grow area. I love this stuff.

White Widnow has the same time frame for flowering as Big Bud, which is 8/10 weeks. I flowered then at 25 days from seed and everybody says it takes a week or 2 longer in an AG to complete flowering. You can't see it in the pix, but all the stems look like the one in the last pix. There are flowers from the tips to the lowest branches on all of them. Hopefully they will fill in & bulk up before they are done..
Always nice to here any comments on my grow. If you have any ideas on how to improve it, I'm all ears.

Thanks! The roots are pretty small and I still have lots of room. If I need to flush the tank next week, I'll pull off the AG top and take a pix and post it here for you.

When I went down to top them off tonite, I noticed a tiny bit of heat burn on a couple of the top leaf tips so I raised the 150 w hps again.

Yeah, they will. I couldn't do it without that 150 w hps I got. It really penetrates the canopy and gets to the lower branches. I'm pretty sure I can do all 6 now with the extra lights. How much dry weight I'll get, I dunno. Hoping for 3 oz.
