This is the dilemma guys, ATA is suppose to be a 6 weeks strain and it is no where to be ready, all the pistils are still white, and trichomes just started.

Currently, using a a 430W hps, and i am thinking about switching to a 400W MH because i heard the UV B rays can create more trichomes.

Now my concern is, if i use MH, wouldn't the plant still need the RED SPECTRUM and also when a plant is about to finish, i think it will make tricomes regardless in the end.

So should i switch between mh and hps every other day, but will this delay my final flowering period?

Or everyday give 2-3 hrs of MH and use HPS for the rest.

Let me know what to do guys.....+ REPPPPPPPpppppp

...wow u have Alaskan Thunderfuck.....breeeeeed!!!!

Most definatley leave it the way it is, you are overcomplicating things.
There will be little to no benefit of switching to MH at week 6 of flower, it may even delay things and stress your plant as it's used to the HPS now.
In my opinion there is no such thing as a "6 weeker", I would say the earliest plants are 7 weeks and even then an extra week will increase yield, taste, resin etc.
Just leave things the way they are and be patient, i.e be prepared to go to 8 weeks if you need to, you've waited this long, don't spoil it now for the sake of a couple of weeks, you'll be pleased you did, hope this helps

ive also read that one of the traits of atf is that the pistils stay white even though the buds are ripe although if you are sayin the trichs havnt formed up yet then i guess they are not ready either way ill look around for that thread i read that in i remember reading a bunch of stuff on atf and certain things it needs different than most other strains might have some info that can help answer your question and by the way howd you come across the strain i hear that true atf is only available through clone if not and you know where to get seeds let us all know

thanks for the input guys, oh and btw....this is a crossbred as well with some kind of Afgani so its 100% indica.

But i want to say F8CK "seedsman", they do have interesting strains but their plant are too unstable because ATA is definitely no a 6 week strain.
