Yes they are. Like I said its the first grow. The plants were kinda a take em or leave thing and we didnt have all the supplies we needed at the time. They didnt get into the buckets for ten days. I'm disapointed with them but now i know a lot of things i did wrong to help improve my next grow. (ATF) As for the weeks into flowering i'm really not sure. it was never written on the calender. i think now they are 2-3 weeks from harvest.

2-3 weeks left and thats how big they are? how long did you veg and how many watts is that light? I'd turn the whole thing into hash if I was you man.

I'd suggest keeping better track of things. Keep a daily journal jot down any notes you might have. Until you become more seasoned a set-time frame is the way to go.

Are you flowering under a MH bulb? What kind of nutes are you pumping? Did you take cuttings?

Yes the light is MH400. Is that not good? The nutrient is called Gardening Magic its a two part solution.

I've never heard of the nutes, you should flower under HPS not MH. Your plants need the full spectrum of color.

so why not switch to hortilux dual arc? that way you dont gotta switch bulbs when you flip em to 12/12

Because physically switching bulbs provides a fuller spectrum.

How do i go about flushing my plants when the time comes?

Feed them water for 4-8 days.

Some nute kits have a pre-flush that is primarily magnesium-sulfate sugar water mix. while they help, they aren't a necessity.

ok another question? it looks like some buds on my silver haze will be done before the other s lower on the plant. can i cut and ripe buds off and continue to grow the plant out?

You can. Sometimes though, buds will grow around the outside and the inner will get bud-rot

I have heard that flowering under a UVA bulb can increase resin production. Anyone know anything about this?

I don't, but give me a few days and I'll ask around.
