Nothing is ready in 30 days dude. So called "autoflower" strains still take 56-60 days to actually flower on a 12-12 cycle. The quickest strains out there are 7-8 weeks. Most are done in 9-11 weeks. Just pay attention to the hairs. When you aren't really getting anymore new white hairs & they've all turned red it's safe to harvest.
yeah i was stretching that a little, and pretty much referring to auto-flowers. i don't know it all lol. thanks for the tip, appreciated.

They look great for how far along you are. Are you using mollases yet? Use 1 tbsp. per gallon of unsulphured mollases & watch your nugs swell up.
thanks man. i haven't added any mollases, but on one of the bottles of nutrients it says it has mollases in it already. i doubt you can over fert. with mollases, so do you think i should add more to my mix?

yeah man i can't find it, hook me up with another link? i've tried even searching in the CFL forums.
I cannot, for the life of me, finger out why that link won't work!

I know the thread is there, i keep posting, and updating it.. o_O

Navigate to the "CFL" Sub-section. and either on the first page, or second page is my thread. "144w CFL Doghouse grow "Plan-B""

Ohh so I guess technically you are using mollases then lol. It's a key ingredient in some new flower boosters, it's pretty much straight potassium (P). What kind of nutrients are you using & how much & how often? Keep in mind that because the dosage people are using on that stuff is a tablespoon per gallon, if your nutrient solution is only calling for a teaspoon per gallon you probably have some room to work with there. Especially since most nutrient solutions aren't thicker than mollases. It's always possible to have too much of a good thing though when it comes to growing, so be careful, but I wouldn't be too worried about adding a little extra.

General Organics. i believe on the first page or second page of this thread I included a picture and labeled which 4 were for flowering and which 4 were veg. Every time i water there is a little nutrient solution. i usually don't use a whole gallon between the plants, but about 4/5ths of one, so i fill the gallon back up with regular water (leaving the 1/5th nute solution in the same bottle) to make a really weak mix, almost like no feed at all and just a water. on all of the nutrient bottles it says something like "add double the amount for heavy feedings" and i usually always give it double. i really haven't had nute burn or any of that shit either.

Dude that really blows but you should have waited at least 10-14 days to chop the plants. The pollen sacks wouldn't have burst before then, your nugs could've gotten fatter. Much better luck to you next time bro, make sure your room is dark!
