How long do you think they need? 2 weeks?
I can move the whole grow to the shed maybe. I think they are about 6 weeks in but I lost track because they flowered wayy after I flipped the lights due to light leaks.

Honestly id say close to 3-4 weeks left yet, i guess its possible they finish within 2-3 weeks, they still firing pistils straight out, they got another swelling phase or 2 to go through yet.
Nice grow man, if you let them go to full term, they will provide you with A killer harvest. Right now is just too early unfortunately, as Bourbon said, try to salvage them somehow

Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the kind words. I worked hard at this one haha. Well these photos I posted were actually taken 5 days ago. There are a lot more red pistils today. Hopefully 5 days from now I will be a little closer to where I want to be. Then I can pull them and keep them in the shed in complete dark for another 2 days. which will give me a total of 12 days between the pictures in this thread and chop.
I'm really bummed out man. It wont be ideal, But it is what it is.

They look really nice but as others have said they arnt ready... if your in a legal state sure move em to the shed or whatever. If your not... well I'd cut now and start scrubbing everything

Hey bud, alot can happen in 12 days, so hopefully they finish up and you can salvage a good harvest.
Best of luck.

I had a landlord walkthrough last month, just as they started flowering.
I put them, 2 plants 3 feet tall, into a big trashbag, pot and all, and set them in my truck and drove it to the corner and parked it there. Tore down the tent and hid it and...
Then reverse after the walkthrough.
My lease was renewed. My plants are fine.

Here is a photo I took today. Shows the other half of the tent which is a different strain. I feel this strain is a bit further along.

Thanks, I appreciate it. My landlord who is a family member is coming to the house and she wouldn't take too kindly to my extra curricular activities. The shed doesn't have any electricity so I would have to run a very conspicuous extension cord to set up lights and fans.
She is staying for a few nights too. Lol at my life.

I've done very similar things lol
@Poppingoff why not just keep em in the dark while shes staying with you? The dark wont hurt em. the smell may be a dead give away though just like fan noise will be.
Again, if your not in a legal state just cut and clean clean clean.
I've put plants in contractor bags, the big 55 gallon thick plastic ones, and trash cans. You'll have to be careful they dont mold but it's extremely doable. I've gone 6 months at a time putting plants in trashcans every single day when the people I was renting from came over every 3 days for dinner and they were REGULARLY in the room and never knew. If you ever do something like this know i had to clean and lysol the cans every day to prevent mold.

Is that an option? Keep them in the dark for 3 days and then move them back in to keep on flowering? I figured this would signal to the plant that it's life was over.
I may just rig up some cheap blurple viparspectras that I have on hand in the shed and connect it to a car battery. I don't know man. Gears are turning. I can't let this harvest go. There are 18 plants in the tent, so the trash bags and trash cans is not really an option as I am in a suburban neighborhood, but I appreciate the help.

It isnt ideal to keep them in the dark but but it's better than light leaks are in that light leaks can revegg them.
Housing and family are worth more than whatever your gonna get from this though so play it safe whatever you do

3 days n the dark is totally fine.
I've had power outages over the years from blizzards etc..
They will look a lil stressed but will recover fast and will be totally fine.
Just give them a few extra days than normal to make up for the gap.
Plants can handle alot . They will be just fine!. 3 days is kinda the max I would feel comfortable with, but they will be fine..

I was able to rig up some lights in the shed, and some fans too, just no active exhaust. I'm going to finish these babies under two 450 watt vipars. It's the best I can do.
Do you think the bud will suffer under those lights? I never flowered with them.

They wont suffer nearly as much as being chopped early
glad you found a solution, you have a nice crop growing, be a shame to lose out on a early chop
Those lights will be fine, much better than the alternative
