7th week of flowering. Questions about harvesting.....

5 females. bag seeds. First Timer.

Ive got one plant thats been growing way faster than my other 4. it has way huger buds than my other girls. it will be my highest yielding. it looks like its got about 2 weeks.

should i lose the nutes, for the next two weeks, harvest it and have my other 4 (smaller) go 4 weeks without nutes? or should i nute them up as usual? and have the bigger one not completely flushed of its nutes?

but just a rule.... what do you think? am i gonna fuck up my other 4 by focusing on this one>

pics soon.

i started on jan 4th with 7 bag seeds. 5 were girls.
i started flowering on the 16th of feb.
now the 3rd of april. i think 2 plants are done...2 other could use 2 weeks and 1 more could use possibly more time than that....

LIGHTS: i now have five 150w equiv of the soft white 2700k, 3 smaller(i think 42 watt equiv) 2700k's, and 1 small flowering light. plu the 2 AG lights ive used since the start.

QUESTION! QUESTION! QUESTION!
******************************************
ALL THESE PLANTS HAVE BEEN GETTING WATER FOR ONLY FOR THE LAST WEEK. THIS IS BECAUSE I PLAN TO HARVEST 1 OR 2 IN A WEEK.
THE ONLY THING IS MY OTHER 3 DONT LOOK THAT READY.....
DO I LET THEM GROW?
WILL THE LACK OF NUTES FOR MORE THAN 2 WEEKS SOMEHOW LESSEN MY OTHER BUDDING PLANTS POTENTIAL?
DO I HARVEST THEM ALL AT THE SAME TIME?
ANY IDEAS?
***********************************

so this what the rooms turned into. i had to extend the hood light by taping 3 drum sticks together and shoving them into the AG base.

This is Q. this was the plant i topped because in the early weeks it was growing fast and was banging into the AG hood. it has since become a monster. its huge. i got the micro scope and the little THC's look like they all have clear tops.

This is Margie. This one is smaller. The THC under the micro looked like they were starting to get their tops.

This is Kick Ass Dood (lady). this ones THC's under the mico looked like Q's. and from what ive read, its got the crystal clear caps and that means its harvest time, RIGHT?

take a look and tell me what you think....i think pretty good for a first time.
but my question still stands about my nutes and the time left on the others....

besides that.....harvesting.....any tips?

This post too way to labor intense to even start to think of a response. Keep it simple wonderfugg and you'll get much better response.

If you have to give one plant plain water and the other nutes, deal with it. Thats they way it grows. Harvest them when they are done and dont try to make the others fall into the same regime.

how do i give some nutes and some just water if ive only got 1 rez?

ok ill try to keep it simple, i just havent been on here in like 6 weeks, so i sure had alot to say....

You can let the others ripen just keep using plain water. You can also harvest individual buds as they ripen.
A VERY General way of telling when it's time to harvest is when all to most of the pistols have turned amber and the calyxes are swollen. OR to be more specific, get a magnifying glass or scope and check out the trichomes (crystals) harvest when 10% of the trichs have turned amber for an "up" high, or wait till all of the pistols have turned and most of the trichs are amber for more of a stoned knock out high.
I would start taking a few samples and seeing if you like the high as is and then you can be the judge.

I just harvested, dryed and smoked up my first aero experiment. I harvested at 8 weeks because I couldn't wait any longer!!
After sampling I was happy with the high, taste and overall quality!!!!!!!!!

just make sure it properly flushed or youll have shitty tasting buds
