Questions on my grow - Advice needed

[Baked4200]

Hello everyone,
This is my 4th grow and just want some opinions for the first time on when I should start flowering and if you think I should change anything with my setup. I plan on flowering in a week or two.

Goal:
Maximum Yield
Maximum Smell/Taste/Properly Cured

Strains:
Island Sweet Skunk
Girl Scout Cookies
Sweet Cheese
Sugar black rose (auto flowering already)

Stats:
2x 600 watt Air cooled MH/HPS lamps
Temp - 85
Humidity - 50
Nuts - Lucas Formula (General Hydroponics)
PH - 5.8 (I have a PH meter and correct PH everyday)
5 Gallon Buckets
Overkill of an air pump. (Commercial grade)

Training:
Scrog net (as you can see)
Topped (at 2 weeks old)
HST (formed 3-4 knuckles on every branch)

Questions:
With my current setup, when should I flower? Do I have adequate room to wait for a few weeks or start now?
Is there anything you would be doing differently?

Note:
Sorry for the horrible blurry pictures.

Id wait a cpl more weeks till flwr

 

[Terry385]

Every thing looks good i veg. a little longer to fill net more

 

[axosport]

let them veg longer, id say 3 plus weeks

 

[Baked4200]

Sounds good to me, i'll let the girls veg 3 more weeks at least and update the thread with pics.

How much bud about do you think these will produce? Keep in mind my growing techniques.

 

[Diabolical666]

about a pound

Ive never done a SCROG, but yours looks good IMO. I might start one next grow..

What materials did you use? just PVC and thread?

Keep training them under the screen until they are all touching. In the mean time continue to feed for root structure development. The bigger the root system the bigger the buds.

Used 2 inch PVC piping and thread. Screws every 2 inches as well to make 2 inch squares.

Will do, thanks for the tip. I'll be uploading more clear pictures to this thread soon. I just defoliated the girls, allowing much more light to hit the bottom growth.

Just took much better photos of the girls after defoliation. You can see that sweet cheese needed it the most. The lower growth on her is not as superior as the rest of them.

I agree with about a pound and love that attitude too ahaha.
Who doesn't want at least a pound of ganja from their grow
Using a scrog net + LST + Lucas Formula + Root Formula + Bud Candy = ez pound

 

[old shol4evr]

you could grow in a shot glass and that girl tell you a pound love her

they look good but a couple weeks left in veg.

Yea, that's what I thought. The wait is killing me but good things take time.

I'll be vegging for about 3 more weeks. I'll upload photos then.

Question:
Does anyone recommend I do anything else/change what i'm doing to achieve maximum yield?

3 more weeks vegged would do your girls justice!

Thanks for the advice, the majority said at least 3 more weeks, so 3 more weeks shale it be.
They are doing excellent and now starting to fill the net alot more.

I will be posting pictures soon of the progress.

 

[Baked4200]

It's been almost a week and I just got done defoliating the girls (again) .
Two more weeks to go before flower (Letting net fill in a bit more)
Check them out.
