Day 30 Flowering - On Track or On Crack?

[s0cK3y3]

Okay Okay, lame title I admit. hehe - Just wanted input on below pics. Estimate my yield please. Also, estimate my remaining flowering time please. Im sure I am overthinking this, but it seems like three of the four have flowering really seperate (not as tight) from the other flowers. I was told I would probably get 1oz per mamacita but am having problems visualizing such a burst of growth.

Then again I know very little about this. HELP! (thanks in advance)

you look to be right on track to an ounce per plant to me..providing you give them at least another 15 days...maybe even 30 more

 

[s0cK3y3]

i was thinking like 4 to 5 weeks left. I hope later than sooner just so I can increase the yield. Guess its not up to me though

 

[mendo-local]

the last few weeks is when plants really bulk up. quit stressing and lay off the crack.

Estimating weight isn't really possible from a pic, but they sure do look good sized.

As far as when to harvest - when they're done! Get one of the $10 handheld microscopes from RadioShack and look at the trichs. When half to most of those trichs are amber, pull her!

It's between you and the plants.

They look quite happy - that's a good thing. If I were you, I'd keep doin what your doin.

That's how I do it...

those plants look to be 25 days from being done to me...as far as yield at least a ounce per plant

Awesome input thanks all!! I have them under a 400w HPS with a 40w CFL in an aircooled reflector canopy that uses a 80cfm inline fan to pull hot air from the HPS and out the back. I also have a 147cfm canfan with carbon filter which acts as my passive intake ventilation system. (oh and one tiny fan on the floor facing up) inside a HydroHut Mini.

By the way, how close can I have the tops to the aircooled canopy? Right now they are about 8 inches. TIA

 

[Guest]

8 inches is cool

Ditch the CFL its not doing anything at this point. I would tie them over for a more even canopy.

Looking good

Lower both the screen and the lights. Might need a larger fan to blow at the tops. Keep the cfl going too. Why someone said its not doing anything at this point i do not know.

Because its not and you're giving advise on something you don't know. 8" is the proper height for a 400w light but a cfl is doing nothing other than adding heat at that distance.

The cfl is kinda worthless where it's at.

I have had plants within 6 inches with a 400, but if you put your hand between the light and the top, and it's hot, drop them back down. Id say they have another 3 or 4 weeks. Did you trim some of the fan leaves?

ya man, my mentor came over and showed me what to trim. i will drop to 6inches then, thanks bro -

about the cfl....I just put it there to provide light to the smaller offshoots on that side of the hut opposite the bulb. The other side near the bulb gets good light so I thought the CFL would work. Does that make sense?

Edit: oh, which reminds me....I asked about the lighting cause when I had it down to 4 or 5 inches from the plants they grew a lot faster. So when I posted this OP I was kinda concerned they arent growing as fast

anyways thanks

rock n roll man!
more pics! RIGHT MYAW!
NAM SANE!!??

pictures? .....pictures you say? ask and you shall receive

With Camera




Purple Stem Question. Seedling about 4 days since transplanted..roughly 10 days since germination. Is this anything? Phosphorus deficiency this early? I didnt think I needed to fertilize with new soil. I did use organic soil instead of sterilized this time around. Any adeas? (See below)



Veg on bottom, Clones and Veg on Top




This one trips me out. It was yellow and nasty, then I transplanted it and its flowering are much tighter than the others..... check it out



THis one is now probably the smallest in terms of flowers




Bigger flowers, not as tight





Spread out flowers again....compared to the first one.




Will add more in a week or so

they look good but if you had a bigger blower for your hood you could get it closser to the plants i had a 400 in a cool tube with a 140cfm dayton that you could touch the glass with no discomfort at all
