so these are my four 24k girls. They are in week 5 of flowering with HPS and 12/12, but the buds don't seem to be maturing. They just keep growing new flowers so I tapered them off bloom nutes and switched the lighting schedule to 11/13 thinking maybe light stress? The temp is 73.5 f with lights on and 67.0 f with lights off and that's consistent and RH is 35-30% they are growing tricombs as well as new hair and a majority of the tricombs are milky white. Please take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think

stop fidgeting with guesswork, those look awesome(somehow, I think you know that though).

As soon as I read this I changed the lighting schedule back to 12/12 ... Yeah your right I know they look good but as you know things can go bad at any stage ... So it's just paranoia I guess ...

relax man, its gonna be the best smoke you ever had!
Yeah I hope so it's my last grow for a while so I spent the money on the seeds nutes and fed them nothing but Poland springs water with CYCO ph stabilizer and flower power bloom nutes with .50 g per gallon of boost nutes which is just phosphorus and potassium the CYCO Kleanse dissolves any salts that doesn't get absorbed by the plant. It's also in three gallon pots with foxfarm ocean forest soil under 400w HPS. So next challenge is the cure ... It's the most important step IMO and I suck at it ... I cut whole plant hang upside down in complete darkness and 30% RH until small stems snap easy and the outside of the buds are dry then in the jars and "burp" them every day for 3 weeks but I can never fully get the smell out of the center of the bud
