how are these looking?

How are these looking? I started 36 hours of darkness on 9/18 and then the 12/12 lighting started on 9/20. The 2 huge ones have been growing since the end of April and came from the same bag of seeds but one of them has orange hairs and one of them doesn't have any white hairs (not sure of the strain). I also noticed leaves on the first one are starting to go yellow but the second one are all still green. My dutch treat doesn't seem to be producing much at all (plant3)
I'm using Floranova bloom nutes 1.5 tsp/gal and started using liquid koolbloom a few weeks ago at .5 tsp/gal (just stepped up to a little over 1 tsp/gal). I was also adding foxfarm grow big for the first few weeks of flowering to give them more N.

Thanks for looking

make sure you have a qualified electrician come by and check your wiring i see some exposed wires that could be a shock hazard, LOL. they look great, like the poster above said a few more weeks form the look of things

Update:
When I saw the previous replies I went and got molasses, I add 1tsp/gal to both my plain water jug and my nute jug, I just did a big flush of water/molasses with plant#1.

Just took some more photos, plant#1 has way more red hairs and the hairs seemed to have receded into the bud? plant#1 looks way different than plant #2 anyway, should I be flushing these now or probably flushing at least plant#1?

Heres plant#1:

plant #1 definitely looks riper that #2...have you taken a look at the trichomes? #1 looks ready but you depending on your cannabis preference you may want to look at your trichomes to see if they are milky or amber.

dante thank you for the input!! Do I look at the trichs all over the bud or just on the hairs? Reason I ask is that the trichs on the bud look milky but I didnt see any ambers, I believe I did see some ambers on the hairs but its hard to squat and hold the 60-100x steady. Are the ambers what give the couch lock?

I've been flushing plant1 with water/1.5tsp molasses since 10/27 but 3 days ago I gave her a light dose in nutes since i wasnt sure of her. Today I flushed with water/mol again, maybe I'll chop Sunday evening?

Heres pics I just took:

the amber tichcomes give the narcotic, couch type high. if that's your preference, i would wait a bit before chopping down...maybe at 50% amber; 50%milky. Don't worry about nutes; there should be enough....as it ages, the trichomes will turn color.

Thanks, I'll continue to let it age and keep an eye on the trichs, Ive just been checking the smaller buds because they are easier to get to than the colla.

dank smoker420: I have a vertical cooltube with a 600w digital hps and then above the plants i have 2 2' dual bulb t5 fixtures with 3000k bulbs. During veg I used 6500k bulbs and then just switched them out to 3000k for flowering, figured why not just leave them in there, they worked really awesome for veg.

nice i thought i saw a vertical hps in there but wasnt sure. ive thought about t5's for veg i use cfls right now but the day light ones make my cab so much hotter then the cool white. would it be practical to put t5's on the sides on my cab and on top for veg? of would vertical t5's not matter

Dank smoker420: i purely use t5's for veg, I use 4 2' lamps for veg above the plant canopy and they grow extremely fast.

Heres an updated pic, a friend of mine says to just chop it down but upon inspecting the bud trichs at 60-80x i cannot find a single amber trich, only on the pistils, they are all pretty much milky/cloudy with very definitive bulbous heads though on the buds. Chop or let it keep going?

thanks dannyboy602, i have it in jars but I think I jar'd too early so ive been trying to dry them out as much as a i can without overdrying.

What do you guys think about these other two:

plant2: trichs seem to be mostly cloudy/opaque, didnt see any ambers at all, good amount of red hairs and white hairs, have only been flushing for maybe 3 days, unfortunately the tray for the pot was full of water so the pot is still pretty saturated. Started flowering on: 9/22

dutch (hawaiin? is what the club called it):trichs mostly cloudy, thought I saw an amber trich here and there, had to really look around, most of them are cloudy/opaq, some red hairs, some white, been flushing for 3 or 4 days, just gave it some mollasses and water, started flowering on 9/22

its also been a real struggle to get these dutch plants to stand up straight and have healthy fan leaves, this one pictured here did ok for the most part but the weight of the buds caused it to fall over and into the other girls during most of the flowering. I also have 2 more in veg that did the exact same thing and am having problems keeping the old fan leaves healthy, i guess they are just more of a bushy plant?

looks good to me...try some bamboo stakes to keepm' standing up straight next time...and if i were you i'd transplant them into larger buckets next time during the veg; bigger buckets = more bud. if you have the space of course

overall looks good though

ok when i transfer my next 3 into the flower side ill transplant into buckets and then maybe veg an addition 2-4 weeks and prop up the dutch plants with bamboo.

Do those look good to cut down tomorrow night? quite a bit of red hairs..

well remember if you put them in flower they will not grow any more. but if were to keep them in veg, yes, they will grow more. I would imagine that your plants might be a little root bound but if you can veg it more and put in a larger bucket, you definitely seen an increase in yield just takes more time and you'll push your harvest up a month or so

As far as from looking at your pics i would say they look rather ripe but you're best judge of that...just consider the hairs, trichomes and aroma. You should be good.

this is good example of how much more veg you can get from transplanting from a 10 gal to a 15 gal but of course this strain is quite different from yours but see the difference ?!
