AK47 day flowering for 42 days already [pictures, questions]

Hi,
Here is a new photos of my AK47 flowering for the 42 days now. I have several questions about the further actions and your help would be much appreciated.

Temperature: 19 (night) -27 (day) degree Celsius
Humidity: ~42%
Plant height around 130cm each i think.

1. How does this looks for 42 days flowering? Good or not so good?
2. I am planing to let them flower for 70 days total, so 28 days more. Is that ok or too much?
3. How many grams may I expect from these plants? Is it possible they will get me 100g/plant?
4. Should I do anything more/less or just continue for the remaining flowering time?

I hope these pictures will help you to answer my questions. And I know this is quite a few questions, but I really need to get the answert to keep up the good work :)

you plants look great. what are you using for lights and nutes? is this your first grow? as far as how much longer you should let them go i personally never set a set date or flowering time for mine, jus wait until your trichs start to go cloudy or even amber depending on what type of high you are looking for and of course keep an eye on your pistals to wait until they turn that nice rusty red/orangesh color. that could all take more or less time than what you are expecting, a nice close up of a cola would also help us determine just how much time you might be looking at until chop. Now as far as weight well how many plants do you have in that area? also the strain, lights and nutes can all be a determining factor in judging that. i hope some of this helps. i personally havnt grown in a few years, i went to the joint in 2008 after i got raided for growing and got out in nov 2011. its amazing how much has changed in just a few short years

Hi, thanks for your reply, I have 31 plant in there. They are quite big, so it may look more :) Could you provide me any example of "rusty red/orangesh color." so i should know what I am looking at? As this is my first grow - yes. And I am using blooming ferts now. As I still don't really understand for how much longer should I wait. Also, is ALL of the buds usable? like, not all of them are so big as the top ones, does the small ones on the small branches good to use too?

Also, I am using 8x400 HPS lamps.

wow dude this is quite the first grow, exspecially that many plants and lights. im kinda baked right now but i kno theres sections on here that will give you detailed pictures of what to expect when your plants are ripe, that will include the trichome changes and the pistol color changes. a brief description thoe would be that pistal will start to change from a whitish to an orange to almost a light rusty color, similar to that of rustyed metal, anyways heres one of my oooold pics, if you look close you will notice the "hairs" which are the pistals were talking about are a orangish red. as for looking at the trichomes, go to radio shack and buy yourself a macro scope, you should have some nice thc production going on right now, if you were to look at the trichs with that microscope they should be mostly clear, when you start to notice them go cloudy is when your getting closer to chop. all cloudy is a somewhat more active high, not so much couchlock stone. but if couchlock is what you looking for then wai till they start to go from cloudy to amber. however thc will begin to degrade at this point. but hey different tokes for different folks

oh yea and as for all the smaller buds from the lower branches, you just throw those away, or send them to me, ill dispose of them;}, nah man all that is great shit, just not as big, or if you want which is what i like to do sometimes if the yeild was good is take some of that smaller popcorn buds and all you sugar leaves from trimmings and make some hash, ill be doing a bunch of honey oil myself when i get back on my feet and growing again, personal this time thoe. gotta say thoe man i much impressed, most guys start out with closet and some floros for the first grow, congrats my friend

Thanks a log for the replied, i really do appreciate it, makes me feel better when you say I am going the right way. Just again what else would you need to tell me a very proximate amount of grams I can expect from one plant? I can get better pictures or anything. Because it is the first grow and it is so interesting to know how it's gonna end.

p.s. another stupid question: What is the difference between "not so much couchlock stone" and "couchlock" ? And which is better?

the couch lock is just as the name suggests, really good high but you dont really wanna do whole lot, like a straight stoney high, me, i prefere all cloudy maybe even with a tincture of clear. as for your weight, you said you have 31 plants, in what size of a room are you conducting all this? by the looks of the pictures, i would say 2.5-3 ounces per plant safely but i am curious to your room size, how talls are the plants? what size are the pots, do you have good ventilation? filters? do you by any chance kno what strains your working with? and if so have you researched them at all?

in what size of a room are you conducting all this?
- size is 17 sqare meters

how talls are the plants?
- about 130cm each

what size are the pots, do you have good ventilation?
- Pots are small, 10liters only, ventilation is perfect, continues fresh air flow

filters?
- none

do you by any chance know what strains your working with?
- what is that?

and if so have you researched them at all?
- if it is a bacterials, then no, all of them are perfectly clean.

How about now, what can I expect?
