CONFUSED??? 25 DAYS?

[smokeyMcPOT]

Hello all, I have a few questions about my kids that they're doing that I'm not sure about. ANY INFO WOULD BE GREAT.

First off....my setup...

FLOWER ROOM
3x4x5 lit by a digi 600w cooled with a duct booster and a 6" 440 cfm ECOPLUS that scrubs the room.
Plants are all CLONES
Started FLOWERING the last week on DECEMBER. Put into 24 hour darkness for one day (read in issue of HT Mag it helps them switch over faster) < ANY THOUGHTS? They were switched fully by the 1st of JAN. So therefore they've been FLOWERING for exactly 25 DAYS TODAY.
SOIL
organic mix of 1/2 Pro-Mix BX, 1/4 Perlite(FF Chunky), 1/4 EWC with Dol. Lime added

CONTAINERS
Vegged in 16 oz cups - TP into 1 Gallons - TP and Flowered in 3 Gallon

TEMPS
Lights on 78-82
Lights off 69-74

HUMIDITY
Lights on 30-40%
Lights off 40-45%

NUTES
EWC,Bat, Bird Guanos Molasses, LK, Epsom salts, 5-1-1 fish emulsion, Maxi Crop Powdered Kelp

PH
I try to keep around 6 even. I've seen 5.8-6.5ish is an ok range. So I figure that 6 may be a little on the low side but may be better overall.....ANY THOUGHTS??

PPM
Started normal feeding at the end of the 1st week of flower. Began with a mix of VEG and FLOWER nutes for the transition. PPM was 400. Watered 16oz. Cups every other day. The second week I raised it to 600 ppm. 3rd week was 850 ppm and finally this week has been 1000 ppm 2 times so far. I was going to flush at the end of the month.

I hope I covered everything for yall to help me.....Now for MY ???'S

FIRST - These all have been in flower the same amount of days. Yet MOST of them started to really put on some TRICHS. I'm somewhat of a NOOB but have had several great grows, but nothing like this. I got curious and got the scope out and checked the heads....Well WTF....I'd guesstimate OVER HALF are SUPER MILKY.....Which in my knowledge signals they're ripening and NEAR HARVEST....CORRECT???? They thing is like I said...IT'S BEEN 25 DAYS

Romulan x White Widow - Day 25


White Rhino - Day 25


Northen Lights - Day 25


Heavy Duty Fruity - Day 25


HDF TOP VIEW


Double OG Kush - Day 25 (sorry bout the flash)


Double OG Kush - Day 25


ROOM SHOT - Day 20



Second - I have this one cross that I got which is Romulan x White Rhino. I have 2 different plants of it flowering now, each clones from different MOMS. The thing here is this. They both grew the same, and are flowering the same....except on ONE plant, there is ONE BRANCH that looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT......

Right Flower shows HUGE THICK PISTILS.....
Left Flower shows thinner more normal looking Pistils....????


Same as above....


THANK EVERYONE FOR ANY INFO OR ADVICE THAT THEY MAY GIVE.

check the trichs under different lighting conditions, if the colouration seems to change slightly they are still clear. I've thought stuff had turned amber before now, then to find out that was down to the HPS light.

Not sure about that 24 hour dark thing. Maybe its ok but i would be so paranoid about them turning hermi. I am on week 6 and went from 24/7 to 12/12. I veged for 2 months so when i switched the lighting schedule they were mature and aching to show sex. They started showing within days. I would watch the trichs mine are still mostly clear. I have been reading and reading and read somewhere that the amber indication is a myth and you should harvest when cloudy. I guess the only way I will know if to harvest during different periods so I will know next time.

Hi smokey, there much better growers out there but i'll stick my bit in. dans obviusly not sure but i can confirm its ok to put them into flower 24hrs of dark, it helps build up the hormones for the flowering cycle, however it takes most strains 10-14 to convert to flower completely so if yrs seriuos bout getting them flowering quick use a flower inducer like tomato juice by advanced gardening, i used to giv them 48hrs dark never did them any harm so i dont think thats yr prob. good info on checking the colour under dif lite, just a standard 60w bulb will giv u a mor realistic idea.

i wait until the sugar leaves go yellow b4 i harvest regardless of the colour of the hairs.

put another shout out and the icm buddys will piut u rite

best of luck

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll take a look with the scope in the morning out of the room and see about the trich colors. As for the one with the THICK HAIRS compared to the same plant with a branch of NORMAL LOOKING ONES....<<<<ANY THOUGHTS?? Thanks again yall.

 

[senseless]

those arnt even close to being done.the buds grow most in the last few weeks. they are just getting over the stretch still. your gonna have some fat nugs!

 

[Suby]

Buds grow in waves, even if the first wave may start turning milky you'll have a new wave of fresh pistils filling out the buds in no time, if your not at the 50day mark IMHO don't bother taking out the scope.

As for the thick and thin pistils in the shot, I'm not sure WTF is going on there, I'm pretty sure they'll all catch up to each other before the end of flowering.

Peace
