keep going. . . .i found that when my plants pistils were getting sunset color a new set of pistils would pop up tp take over. once the new pistils stopped taking the place of the old pistils i looked to the trichs. cloudy is good, clear longlasting. and ammber is good, stoney and shorter lived.

pistils dont necessarily tell if that plants ready.. grab your self a jewlery microscope from radioshack for $10 watch your trichromes they should start out clear and when there getting closer to there harvstng time they will chagne color to ethier foggy to amber or might stay foggy let them go longer and youll be happier..
plus if you say 2 weeks flowering you got a lot to go.. looking good though

hahahahaha i had 2 plants under a 250 hps too. only i flowered july 21st. the one bagseed known as meagan jackabie was indica dominant. she finished up 3 weeks ago. the other known as milly joe was sativa dominant and i chopped her days ago, i could've waited on her though. . . .the reason i say this is because for milly the sativa she flowered for a total of 14 weeks give or take. and i could've kept her longer. sativas do this. meagan the indica flowered for about 8-9 weeks and could've still gone further. you have to get a microscope and analyze the trichs. i harvested at clear milky and mildly amber and felt the full effects of all the different stones. but i like "up" stones. research the difference in trich colors and chemical breakdown and you'll get a sense of what the drug is doing. that will tell you what you want in a plant.

hey where's the 250 hps club at?
