First hydro grow, 6th week of flowering ended today.

Whats up everybody? This is my first time on the site, first post. So I'm running 10 clones under 2 600w hps lights. They are in 3inch rockwool cubes in 2 gallon pots of hydroton. I've got one drip stake in each cube. My light goes on at 12:10pm, the times is set to water for one minute first at 12:15pm, again at 4:15pm, again at 8:15pm and once more at 11:00 before lights go out at 12:10am. Today I just changed the time to water starting at 12:15 like before and water one minute every three hours during lights on. I'm happy to take any advice, I've done a few grows but I am all about learning more. Let me know what you guys think. How long til harvest? Stop feeding nutes next week and flush? Thanks in advance

Anybody? Any advice

Your plants seem to be doing well. Not many plants finish in 6 weeks. Are your tric's telling you they are done? The tops stop growing?

As far as you schedule, what ever works, works. If the plants are healthy you're doing well. I'm kinda bumping your thread so it gets noticed. I'm sure someone else will have some words of wisdom.

Looking good though.

Thanks for the reply. Trichomes appear to be clear still. Pistils however are mostly red already. Tops seem to have slowed down alot in reference to size. Seems like they are packing on trichomes now and maybe swelling still. Do They appear to have more swelling to do? That's why I was wondering when I could be approaching harvest cause id like to get a good flush in. Right now I'm feeding advanced nutes bloom and overdrive.

Yea, if your trichs are still clear I'd wait, unless you just don't want to. Sometimes the last 2 weeks have alot of swelling.

Surprised noone else has jumped in here.

my expierence is that during those last 2 weeks a they will plump up, trich up some and is usually worth they wait, but the from the pics it looks to be on schedule with about 6 wk maturity point
best advice i got for you is to get something to check out those trichs

whats the strain
