They look right on for 5 weeks. Good job keeping them green. The next few weeks you will see them really fatten up. Keep us posted.
 
Right on track man. They're lookin great, they should really start packin on weight these next few weeks. I'd say you prob got about 4 weeks left give or take. That's obviously a rough guess, but shouldn't be too far off that.

Nice job! +rep

EDIT - Looks like everyone said the exact same thing as I was typing my response haha ^^^^ About them swelling up and all that. Anyhow, keep it up man.
 
Thanks. when do you think i should start flushing? as im using all 6 foxfarm nutes . also i have a non vented 600hps kinda worried about airy buds.. have the light a foot and half away. any suggestions?
 
Keep a fan blowing between the tops and the light 24/7. Don't worry about flushing for a couple more weeks. Feed them regular strength. This is when they really use up the nutes.
 
you should paint walls white or put somethiing up like mylar to help with light lose start flushing 2 weeks before your going to harvest
 
Why starve your plants for the most important time of the grow? If your going to flush do it the last week. Not the last 2.

I wouldn't worry about flushing for another 2 or 3 weeks. Some people don't flush at all, I personally feel like I can tell a difference. I try to time it out to where the last 3 waterings are just pure water (about the last week and a half, 2 weeks is pushin it IMO). I experimented, and did not flush one of my plants on my last grow. Gave it full strength nutes all the way through. The final product crackled and popped like crazy, and the smoke wasn't very smooth or tasty. Even though I cured it the same way I cure all my buds, and I usually get good results.

Just keep an eye out for "canoeing" leaves (tips folding upwards due to heat). If they are, then move the light up an inch or two. I have used my 600w without an air hood back in the day and it shouldn't be a prob if you can keep the temps manageable.

And what zack said ^^^, keep a fan blowing between the canopy and the light.
 
Thanks for tips:).. ok so im having a feeding problem. Should i feed.. water ..then feed. Its hard for me to follow weekly schedule when it takes 4-5 days fir soil to dry. I've been confused with this..

I feed every other watering. Nutes, pure water, nutes, pure water. This works for me. I have experimented with quarter/half strength with every watering on one grow. Worked out but had slight nute burn.

I have found that with every other watering, I can go full strength nutes when I do feed, and not have any issues with burning.
 
Right. yes this is what I've been doin.. should i water with run off every time? because its hard to get feedings in when my soil takes 5 days to dry

Yea it that's about how long it takes for my plants to dry out as well. Bout 5 days. I think its best to get about 10% runoff with every watering, to keep the medium clean and devoid of salts and buildup.
