Want to Know If Your Plants are Finished?

Hey so I've been growing these about 8 weeks now...they're Easy Sativa, and technically should have been done by now. However, have had a couple of hiccups on the way - first pot was too small, and then I had to move out of my condo for almost a week because of all the shite that was happening in Bangkok (protests, civilian unrest, etc) and so they didn't get any water. By the time I got back most of the lower leaves were brown, so had to prune them.

Then after getting back, I was of course over-enthusiastic and over-fertilized, causing some burn. Looks like it's finally coming around now. The medium is soil + worm castings (20% or so)...on my balcony, direct sunlight from about 2pm till 6pm (west-facing). Looks like it's pre-flowering?

These are growing in 11" pots, on the balcony of my condo.

A couple of other questions since I'm posting anyways:

1. Rain - most rain in cities nowadays is acid rain, so I'm guessing exposure to this = bad for my plants, yes?
2. Air-conditioner - there's an air-conditioner outlet blowing slightly on the plants, warm air basically. Is this a stressor to be worried about?
3. Soil - sometimes when the top part of the soil gets dry it cakes, and so I till it with a fork to open it up. Not too close to the stem since I'm afraid of hitting the roots, but should this be happening, or is my medium too tight?
4. Fertilizing - is foliar feeding only for quick fixes or can it be used as a regular method? I'm using orchid fertilizer, seems pretty complete with all micronutrients etc, and using one of those pump bottles to atomize/spray. Should I just be mixing in the water and pouring into the soil?

Thanks!

Unknown strain 6 to 7 weeks into flow.
6 weeks with HPS 600w but because of heat problem (100 F+)
i change to CFL 2700 K
I think that with the heat problem it stays back
The question is how much ?
Please help FDD
they look fucked...

feed them hard. you may just pull something sweet enough to toke on... nowhere near the quality those plants can produce though, so don't blame the strain. your plants are heavily lacking in nutrients.

Those buds look airy and the leaves are very bad... i'd turn them into oil myself... but you may do ok if you feed hard now. the buds may get some density in the final couple of weeks.


but they need food! takes a lot of energy to build buds, it's not all about light.

R U sure is the nutrients ?
I give them food every 2 days or 4 days most.
I think it must be heat stress.
Any idea for E.T.A. ?

Dude heat stress is horendous on your plant. You should usually have trichs on those leaves coming outta the buds. but i dont really see it in the pic.
also GET YOUR TEMP DOWN in your grow room. a/c unit, Alot better airflow.

Thanks, I agree on the overwatering, the last 2 waterings have been "flushing", I'm thinking about flushing it one more time before the weeks up.

This still look Indica Dom.?
