Coming up on 4th week of 12/12

I was thinking of doing one more cycle of fert to last another ~4 weeks or so, then do just water after that to start flushing the plant, whatcha guys think?

Where are you located???they don't look very dense at the moment...can you move them outdoors to finish up in the sun...the cfl's don't have the finishing power that the sun provides

You have a while to go. I wouldn't stop the nutes.

My guess is you started counting the day you flipped. The first week should not be counted, its a transitional period. So really you are in week 3, so you got along ways to go with that girl. She looks good BTW, but keep feeding her flower nutes ( and teas if you're organic ).

You still have a while yet, they look good for the time frame they've been flowering. You don't need to flush unless you have nutrient lockup or over fertilization.

Okay thanks for the tips guys. From here on I won't be counting from about a week. So then its prolly been flowering, I'd say 2.5 weeks or so. I'm happy its looking okay for working with what I had. Kinda bummed that by the time this one is done ill be able to buy a 400 watt light system. I'm new to the mh/hps lights, and don't feel its necessary to start a new thread

I'm looking into a apollo 400 watt gull wing set with ballast, and 1 mh and hps bulb. My goal is to only grow 3-4 plants at a time. Would this be enough light coverage for that? Hell 2-3 plants would be enough for me haha

she may be ready just in time for thanksgiving and christmas haha looking good.

Good it helps me make extra space for food

Do not buy a gull wing ( just my opinion ). Buy a 400W enclosed with the ballast attached, you'll be much happier in your smaller space. Check out HTG ( high tech garden ) Supply. They seem to have really good prices on most everything.

What nutes are you using that last 4 weeks? Because there are no good nutes that are for what we grow that last that long. I feed full nutes with every watering except once a week I do a PHd watering only. I will not cut nutes until a little over a week before I harvest. I cut my nutes too early this grow and all my once green healthy fan leaves are now yellow and dieing. The plants need a good flower nute starting at week 1 of 12-12 all the way to end pretty much.

I have to respectfully disagree with this. I own two of those 1 mh and 1 hps. They are crazy heavy, and not high quality.

Just spend the money and get a quality digital ballast. I just went from the htg setup as mentioned above to a 600 watt lumatek and am so happy. You can switch it from 360w,400watt,600watt, and 600super watt(or something) and can use both mh and hps bulbs. The appollo you are looking at is a hit or miss and the quality is nothing to a lumatek.

Also i cant tell from the picuture how big your space is and how much airflow you have but you will probably want an enclosed hood that you could vent outside the room.
