Praying for a lb!

Just an update on my grow about 2 weeks from finish! I was hoping to score 2 but I don’t think I’ll even get one! I started with 2 lights, and added 2 mid-flower. It’s been tough since my shoulder surgery, and running after my children. Hopefully I can get close to 1lb. Hopefully my next run is better! Picture below is around week 4-5. The buds doesn’t seem that big in the 7th week. I still have 2 more weeks left. I’ll post more pics when lights goes out in about 20 minutes.8B26E679-1468-4F21-AA4C-D1B53CD7D2A1.jpeg

Those don't look more than 5 weeks into Flower, are you sure it has been 7 weeks since 12/12 flip? They look very healthy though.

Yes I switched on Jan 15th, the black truffle is not a heavy yielding strain. I shocked at my lemoncello. My ec has been 2.5 all throughout flower! I’ve increased to 3.2 for weeks 6-7. This will be my last feeding today. I’m wondering if I should extend flowering for 2 extra weeks but I don’t know if it will be beneficial though!
 
I did a slurry test ec was 0.8, ph of feed is 6.4. Using 4 600w hps fixtures. That I alternate 6hrs on 6hrs off all sides of canopy gets light from 2 fixtures but I alternate between the 4 lights. I’m coming out
 
I’ve been feeding at least once a week, I only gave just water maybe twice, and it didn’t need it because I checked the soil and the soil ppm was 0.8 ec or less. That’s me feeding at 2.6-2.4 Ec.

4 x 600w HPS, really full canopy, they're taking in high EC feeds obviously with no problem, you should get 3-4 lbs of dry trimmed buds.
They do look like they can definitely go another 3-4 weeks though..

It doesn't look like they're on the 7th week of flowering but I saw your date listed below, though your leaves aren't clawing they are dark for being so late into flowering so my guess is to much nitrogen slowed down your bud development.

Check the color of your trichomes and the pistils all over but from what you've shown they can go more then two more weeks. In fact some breeders over estimate the length of time from seed to harvest and some plants including autos will need 8-15 weeks of flowering time.

If your temps are stable at higher light intensity you can increase brightness at this stage and stop feeding nitrogen for a few feeds and only bloom nutes to kick them into overdrive. If your temps are too high with cranking brightness then lower the lights in height with same level of brightness you have now and monitor for bleaching or heat stress.

With a canopy that dense you'll definitely yield a pound or more but it's patience that will reward you as an early harvest will be disappointing for the amount of effort you've given them to get them to this point.

For reference here are my auto flowers the big three are entering week 6 of flowering this Wednesday having germinated Dec.21st they're still swelling.

Baby on bottom will be 6 weeks Wednesday.

Beautiful ladies you have there, give em time they'll reward you for it.
