My first grow of Northern Lights (indoors) 8 weeks grow (2 seedling + 6 veg) to 24".
Flowering - starting 5th week (from start of 12/12 cycle).
400W HPS in 4 x 4 grow box (with fan and heater).
Using FF nutes

Not sure how much longer. Lots of "frosting" on leaves and buds.

web says 7 - 11 weeks. First few pistils are turning colors.

AND, the plant has Powdery Mold on the base of the stem (see post: https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/318893-powdery-mildew-need-advice.html)

So, wondering if it will make many more weeks? Or look to flush and harvest in a week or so?

Suggestions?

hey joeg,
she's looking very tasty.....uv still got a few weeks 2-3 i'd guess.......your looking for more than 2/3ds of pistils to turn amber........in relation to your mould..... give her a good flush and leave watering for a day or 2.....that should sort her out

I also was giving N in the nutes - but will stop.
I'll do a complete flush tonight and leave her for a few days and see - thanks

more like 5 or 6 weeks. none of your pistols have turned color so most of the trichromes are probably still clear. wait till your pistol change to a dark orange and they start to recede back into the buds. They wont go that far back into the buds but the change will be noticable.

Your buds still look like they have a ways to go. I would not harvest it in a week from now. If you do you'll just have premature smoke that will give you a slight racey high. Id say 4weeks+ is still left with your grow.

Good luck

DO NOT start to flush. your plant isnt nearly ready to chop. you still have at least five more weeks. i promise your buds aren't nearly as fat as they can be. DO NOT make the mistake of harvesting early, your yeild will suffer greatly. when they're ready to come down, the buds will look like they've swelled and look like seeds are in them.

thanks to all - I'll let her be - I'll flush for the mold issue and let her grow - I'll be back with pics and issues if any more arise.

I'm ok letting them grow out (as tough as that is for all of us) - but I am worried about the Powdery Mold.
Right now on the base of the Stem only.

i suggest treating for the mildew yesterday. you do not want to give it a chance to take hold. your plant definitely needs more time, but if the mildew gets worse it can fuck with your plants growth.

If I were you, I would flush for about 4 days, and then start fertilizing again. My buds kinds stalled out on me, and then I flushed it, and they took off like rockets.
