This is 2 of the 8.
They will be in the sixth week of flowering tomorrow.
Should I just wait two more weeks?

Can't tell by the pics. You have to get a little pocket micrscope and check the trichs. I'd start flushing with water.

you waited bit too long.. plants are ready to harvest when brown hairs is about 70% of all hairs. THC level decreases when it reaches highest point.

color of hairs just means the plant is nearly ripe. It could take 2 or 3 weeks after they change color.

It's my first grow so... I just did whatever I thought was right with the lights and stuff. I had them on 18/6 when I was in veg. [600w HPS]

I took some cuttings from them (100% success first time) and I had to put them in the window, they have stretched alot though. I put them near the window in the morning and when I get back home later my hps light is normally on so I transfer them to there. It's alot of hassle though.

Are you afraid of the hps fucking up while ur gone? I would just invest 20 bucks into come cool blue cfl's and put like 3 or 4 around each plant...Thats retarded constantly giving them mediocre light to the wrong spectrum.

Get a pocket microscope, radio shack has them for like 10 bucks and it has a nice lil light on the end to help you see everything. its a 30X scope. There are 2 schools to harvesting, 1 is the heady high, which comes from the milky trichs, the other high is the body buzz/couch lock high that comes from the amber trichs, to get a good bit of both harvest when 30-50% of the trichs are amber colored.

What makes you ask if I am afraid? My hps is on a timer and it comes on at around 4:40pm.. I'm not home at that time.. and it's only on for 12 hours.. I want my cuttings to have more light that that so I put them in the window in the morning and move them when I get home. Space is something I dont have alot of so I cant make a seperate grow area. I already got rid of my TV's and settee/couch.

And about the cfl's.. I have 8 plants and you're saying 3 or 4 around each plant... You're 20 bucks is around £10 where I am.. That would only get you 5 decent bulbs maybe not even that many, and then I have to buy the all wire and light sockets.
