Six week flowering just completed... or is it?

Greetings Folks

To be honest I don't know what week of flowering it really is. Pistols only showed on week 2 to 3. Lights went 12/12 six weeks ago.

Anyway, I did my Sunday clean out and tie down. And I took some photos. Maybe to many? But I'm never quite sure what you rollitup Folks want to see?

Feel free to comment, or criticise.

Thank You all for your help.

Thank you for the reply.
I am quite glad that I still have a few weeks to go. Gives them a chance to fatten up. How are they looking in general? I made such big silly mistakes ( my first grow ) I have got so much help and wisdom from all you rollitup Folks.
I have two questions...if I may?
Q1. I have a dehumidifier arriving Wednesday. Do I set RH to 40 for both lights on and off.
Q2. Forums I have read say feed plants some molasses others say don't. Of course its trial and error, as different strains could require and also depends on conditions. Anyway ... do you feed molasses?

Thank you

Molasses is for feeding the soil nothing more. For your first grow it looks good and in flower I keep my humidity around 45-55 rh in flower depending on strain and what they like. Everyone makes mistakes all that matters is did you learn from them if you did it’s all good.

Just to note I’m a big fan of worm tea in my grows soil and hydro they’re super simple and cheap to make.

5 gal bucket of water , 2 cups of worm castings, 1/2 cup of unsulphered molasses, sometimes a dash of recharge or great white to add a little more variety of bacteria and maybe some kelp at 1/3 of a cup. You don’t need the great white or recharge I only do it for mine everything else is super cheap. Next you bubble that for 12-24 hours you should get some thick bubbles when it’s ready. Store it I away from light and it should be good for a few weeks. If it smells bad toss it.

With that solution mix one to two parts of tea to five parts water and water your plants.

I like that. Making my own feed. Thank you for sharing that. I have never heard of cup worm casting. But I know how to use Google.
Does it add trichomes or fatten/thicken buds. Or an overall great booster for the plant itself. And is that for both veg and flower. Sorry about all the questions... it's just that you make things very interesting.

It’s for feeding the soil it has some calcium and other trace elements in it and adds good beneficial bacteria to the soil. Better roots better plants.

If you hear the word "bennies" that is what he is referring to. (Beneficial Bacteria)
Its the natural bacteria in soil that form a symbiotic relationship with your roots. The bacteria feed off stuff that the plant excretes through the roots, and in turn they help deliver nutrients to the roots and protect the roots from bugs and disease. Great White Myco is good shit man. If I grew in something solid I would use the "Ancient Earth Humus" too, like Hooha said.
I use Orca which is the exact same thing but liquid for hydro.
I would NOT and could NOT run my system without bennies. My roots would rot to shit and my water would turn nasty fishtank like right now.

Plants are looking good btw.
Keep and eye on those lower leaves for any K or P defs. I ran into some here in the last week or so.

Thank you for the message and advice.
The new LED has helped some. I have also added a dehumidifier, set to 45. Buds are starting to get a bit podgy. I have tied up, down left & right as much as possible to keep buds from burning or touching one another or blocking the light.
I did things the hard way on this first grow. Made easier by having you rollitup Folks guiding me. ( )
I am looking forward to my next grow.

Ps I have ordered a jewellers loupe.

Fuckin aye. As long as you harvest enough to last until your next harvest consider it success. You will be so much better for it going into your next grow.
How many lights do you have now?

Thank you for the message.
I have the QB 530w and 2 mars leds 600 ( actual 265 w).
So long as I get no mold and I follow good curing guides then, yes...there is enough in the pot for me.
