You said it yourself, been flowering for a month, takes 8-9 weeks of flowering so you still have about a month to go. Flowering time is from the time it flowers, not total time from seed.

Also from your red pictures, seems you are only using the bloom or flower part of the lights when you would be better off with both veg and bloom switches on for more light and a fuller spectrum, which explains why your plants stretched so much as well (from the very red light).

Thanks for the advise. I will def turn on all the lights, that explains the stretching.

Welcome to the community! Keep in mind the flowering times are estimates. Have read they are more rated for commercial growers than us regular folk. One person put on a forum, not here I think, that he harvested at 7 weeks no matter what. I think that is silly as every plant has it’s own time frame. I harvested my Wedding Cake a tad too early against my judgement and went with the advice of a veteran grower, not on forum, but my cousins’ husband (since learned he uses Miracle Grow and his buds can cause an incredible coughing fit. So learned someone growing for 30 years might not be up on better practices) Patience is definitely a virtue with growing. That lesson we all hate, I know. :wink:
