I really do. I just now today for the first time saw 1 pistil that is starting to turn amber. I came back about an hour later and now there are two, as a pistil right next to it is also turning. So thats good news. They are starting to mature then I suppose.
The bud growth under this 1k light is phenomenal for only 14 days under them. I will get some pics up here in the next couple days. The tent I want is 56" X 56" X 78" or so. Something in that neighborhood. Yes, with the 1k light.
Gypsy thanks for all the info on your grow. Interesting as usual. I am finally starting to see some real trich development and my odor issue is neutralized. So things are good here!
I am guessing about 5 or 6 more weeks, for a total flower time since the 12/12 switch of 13-14 weeks. But we will see how quickly they mature. The buds seem to be swelling slightly less quickly now. Over the past 10 days I swear they were growing 5-10% per day...

OK, so here are the pics as promised.
I really feel like the MAJOR explosion of growth has slowed down. Take that with a grain of sand though. I can STILL see noticable development daily. I am not sure if this is normal, I am assuming it is. This 1k light is new to me still!
Like I said, I am just now seeing some amber pistils on two of the four mature plants. I have noticed that plants 1, 3, and 4 have a main cola that is now quite conical in shape. Plant 2 is still yet to form its cone and looks like it is going to continue to bulk up, although you can see a point starting to form slightly. I am going to get a MIN 6" cola from each plant. One #1, 2, and 3, I am expecting up to a 12" cola potentially.
So I have revised my guess to 4-5 weeks, for a total flower time since switching to 12/12 of 12-13 weeks. But we will see. I have gotten quite a bit of nice trich development over the last week. Very nice.
I switched back to Beastie Boomz the last 3 waterings. I plan on switching to Cha Ching again once I see some more maturation. I just don't want to short-sell my growth. They are DENSE fuckers!
Well I have rambled on quite a bit, but anyone wanna take a guess at a potential yield for the 4 plants total, keeping in mind that they have another 10-25% of bud growth left, in my opinion? Well let me know, good luck, stay HIGH, and GrOw BiG!!!

nice plants. really really healthy looking. good work. all the best of luck going forward. Yield? tough question with so many variables. Everyone's circumstances are all a little different. fdd gets pounds per monster tree he grows. I got about 1 1/2 oz of trimmed bud per plant. You'll have a decent yield if you let these girls go through to maturity. They are looking mighty fine I think. Walk On!

Guessing weight is tough anyways, but I totally don't have an idea how big your plants are. Can you put up a pic with something common next to it?
I'll take a swing anyways at... 8.23 ounces dry. So a little more than 2 o's a plant. There you go there's a target. I hope I'm not totally underestimating your plants. I don't want to insult the girls.

Yeah I will take a pic of something like a pop can or something next to it.
That's exciting! Honestly if I got an average of 1.5 oz per plant I would be happy, but thanks for the compliment and I hope you are right on!
Thanks Gypsy! How do you post the pics like that?

Sounds like a plan
The largest cola is almost 4" thick currently!

That's a great way to compare the size, my friend!
Just checking in, it's been a while and I see you are doing much better now. I'm telling you, bro, once you grow with a 1000 watt light you can never go back to those small ones.
In about a month and a half you are going to be a very happy man, my friend! Let's match.

I think it will be ready sooner than that. I hope so anyway.
I am starting to get a fairly good amount of amber pistils and the trich production is working overtime. I am starting to get a really nice skunky odor from them.
They seem to be maturing quicjly though. We will see.
No doubt about the 1k watt light. No other way to go if you ask me.
The ladies continue to swell daily. The only one yet to develop a cone is about to start. So the bud growth is about done, at least vertically. Well drop me a line folks!

Shoot my rh is at 57 on the dot all the time. I will take it, although I am wondering if it will be too high? I have some DENSE nugs cooking here.

I agree 100%.. but unfortunately we are still in the PRESENT...
But you are right... HIDs will be a thing of the past... in the FUTURE...lol...

mine was drifting up toward 70-80% when my de-humid broke.
57 is pretty good in my book, 45 is perfect tho

Well maybe I will look into a de humidifier for the end of flower here, to encourage resin production and ward off any mold...

They are lookin great man thanks for asking. Check back a page or so for the newest pics.
So, I want to do a flush just to leach out the salts, in preparation for the final flush here in a few weeks or so.
I am in 2 gallon pots. Here is what I am thinking...
Run 1 gallon with 15ml of Clearex through, then running 4 gallons per plant of plain water. Thoughts anyone?
