hey i know what you are doing, bet you have a 1000 watt hps hanging over them just out of sight lol

Approaching the 6th week, kinda winging it from here. what do you guys think? how much longer from here?

 

[hardroc]

I'd wait for at least week 9, if you don't have a scope, I'd wait till the pistils turn red/brown and wait till they start to curl back into the buds, then you know for sure they're ripe

 

[del66666]

yepi agree with hardroc on that, cant rush those girls, they may even go longer

Do they look on par with say a 400 hps? for the age?

 

[hardroc]

Well that all depends, when did they show sex? That's when you start counting the weeks, from the day you notice the pistils, not when you flip to 12/12. What strain are they again?
They do look nice and healthy, and good stucture, you just gotta be patient, I know it's hard but if you wait for them, they will really surprise you in the last couple of weeks, they will sometimes double in bud size

ive only just stopped completely using cfl for flowering and have always defended them as they do a great job, hid is easier to get results with, i wouldnt swap back.. but your buds are looking real good and thats why i know you secretly stick an hps over them.

They showed sex on 3/11 so that would make it 21 days of flowering? Thats 3 weeks today of flowering. I dont know the strain, they were seeds given to me by a local grower that quit. I found out today that he bred his own strain but dont know the specifics. Got 14 more seeds today of this same strain so im happy. Yeah I know they have a ways to go, but these are bigger buds now than any mature plant I ever grew in the past (12 years ago with HID systems), so its all new to me. Thanks for the input.

It is, I open my box, stick my head in and get a huge overwhelming smell and view at the same time. Two different kinds. With the trichomes forming it puts off an even more pugent smell. Sure wakes you up in the morning!!! Im in love....

 

[Pupu]

That is really looking more than three weeks. Nice. Can wait to see how they end up. Maybe you have this unknown super strain.

Thanks!! I was going to do DWC at first but then decided to test on a couple of bag seeds in soil first, turned out alright!! I still have 20 fem seeds from nirvana, I might setup my dwc next run.
