sorry, let me clear that up, I'm growing 10 plants, with 400 mh, and I left lights on for 24/7 for around 2 months, I was wondering if it takes longer to flower, I'm starting on my 6th week of budding, and the budds arn't very big, just wondering if they are gonna get big in the next 2 weeks, or are they gonna need more time, or if they're done already.

I grow (veg 24/7)
When I go 12/12 (you will see) the buds pack on wieght at the last 2 weeks. You canhelp them by adding 2 tbls per gallon of molases.

I'm with golden on this one. The 24/0 lighting will produce shorter; bushier plants. As long as you have the right nutes and go 12/12, I dont see why you shouldn't produce bigger buds. I guess that cannabis is like a morphing bug; It goes through several stages and each one will depend on it's surrounding conditions. So dont worry and follow the book, you'll have fatter, denser nugs in no time.

Yeah My Northern Lights is looking good. She is 2 months old and I figure another 2-3 weeks before I flower her. I am going to flower Skunk #1 first, then as the rest get bigger and bushier I will put the rest in. You can see them all on the link below.
Bt here's my NL and Skunk #1 (last Friday).

Skunk #1, ~20" and eats/nutes every other day, a full gallon.

sweet, thanks boyz. I was getting alittle worried, yea my plants are only about 21" tall, I thought maybe I stunted thier growth, cause I pinched 'em late, I also cut the bottem branches off in the late part of week 4 of 12/12. My humidity is high also, don't have a dehumidifyer, it's in the 70-80's, no mold though. I have been giving them bloom buster, and 1 tbls of molassas in a 4L jug.
thanks for the info, it's my first grow, all hints are welcome

Get your air circulating and get that humidity down. Its slowing down growth.

As others have said its the last two weeks of flowering that most of the weight is put onto the buds. Depends on the strain as to how long flowering is usually between 8 and 10 weeks, so you would probably have between 2 and 4 weeks left. I'm probably gonna cause a row here but as your using MH lights I very much doubt you will get the big fat buds you want, would have been best to use HPS instead, but you will still get some nice potent shit.

In veg I really don't smell it. She is 18" tall now. Don't stink, but not 12/12 yet.
I'm curious, how much yield are you expecting from her? I know its not really possibly to know exactly . I want to grow 2 myself on my 250 MH/HPS and I wanna try for like 4-6 OZ's combined.

If there are any dark area's around the soil you can count on mold coming in. I started toget mold at 65%
