Hi everyone
I'm on day 57 of heavyweight fast and fast autos. I've got nothing to compare this to so I'm a bit stuck. The buds haven't grown any more in a couple of days but they're still drinking a lot of water. Anyone have any thoughts on if the buds will grow any more? Any thoughts or comments will be a great help and many thanks in advance

Probably a fustrating post and this will likely be a fustrating reply.... was told it's likely to take 8 weeks from germination and would yield around 26 ounces from 8 plants. Don't know what else to share but I've got 600 watt lights........ Appoligies if this isn'tenough info

Is it time to flush?

I have no idea man, you know the breeder? the strain? and what the breeder says about flowering time, I dont, sorry.
if they're drinking plenty of water sounds like nutes are being tapered as directed. YOu have to check the trichomes to check your finish. google "when to harvest, trichomes, chart"

you will not harvest 36 ounces from 8 plants. It takes more than genetics and a 600 watt light to do so. try reading a grow bible, all of your answers are within.

imo, they have another 10-15 days they can go easy. First pic is clear enough to show the hairs around the buds are just starting to turn red/brown. Most are still white. The plants are still drinking, which means they're still growing. Last week or two can add a ton of weight, even though the size of the buds/plant may not change much, the density of the buds will and that's where your weight is.

Until those hairs are turned red/brown/curled (you have some that have turned for an example) which is at least another 10-15 days, and they're still drinking at a decent rate, I'd let them go. Pulling them earlier will leave weight on the table.

Although they aren't growing up and out hopefully they are growing more dense right now and focusing on developing trics/thc and what not ... 36oz from 8 autos seems a bit high

I think alot of people forget to take in consideration of what the companies environment was. Probably that much with 1000w lights and big pots and guys that have the growing experience.

Yes there is a lot of white hairs on the majority of all the plants. The colour has changed on the top part of each plant. Thanks for the comments, I'll keep it going as theyre still drinking a lot today.

Yeah they'll grow a lot more. Day 57 is like about 36 days of flowering. It'll take at least another month I would think.

They're looking great , well done!

Only way to improve this for next time would be to have an automatic feeding system to increase the oxygen at the roots, which would make for bigger plants.

600 watt light is good but the plants look very tall with no lst done on them. They could have grown a lot bigger with some lst to take advantage of the light, and more oxygen at the roots.

Flush in your final week, so last7 days feed nothing but water, then a final flush on the last day and24 hours of darkness and then come over and hook me up! Haha

Thanks for the comments. I've just read about lst and I've seen this technique on you tube videos. Now I know what it is ill be using it next time. I've got a auto feed system.... they're on 4 feeds a day. Thanks for the tip
