How much longer to flower?

[soilmaster]

Hey guys.
I have 4 plants under a 1000w HPS. They are on week 7 of flower. They are in soil. I was giving them blood and bone and seaweed extract during veg.

Now I feed them sulphate of potash. Had some trouble with thrips and mites but it's better now.

The strain is Nirvana's White Rhino Fem.
On their site it says that they are ready after 8 weeks but to me they look no where near ready. Do plants take longer to flower in soil?

I'm guessing about 2 to 3 weeks? The pictures don't really do them justice. They are totally covered in trichomes. And very sticky. Not much smell though which is good. They don't seem to be packing on much weight. But I check them every day so it's hard to notice.

Any opinions?

1) That is a 8 to 10 week flowering strain.....
2) It is very small for being at 7 week flower.
3) No strand on the face of earth has a 2 to 3 week flowering period.
4) Me thinks your additives was A) given at the wrong stages B) Not diverse enough

Explain what you did up until now. So we can tell you WHAT NOT to do next time and what you did correctly. There is a sheet to fill out some where around here....

Hey.
Yeah I know they're fucking tiny compared to what people pull on here.

I always thought you used seaweed in veg and potash in flower?
Next grow I'm going to do things damn right. Last grow was a failure I only got 1.5oz off of 1 plant under my HPS. That was my first grow. The only nute I used in that was blood and bone.

This one I decided I needed proper nutes, so I got seaweed and potash.

Do you have any nutrient advice? I heard liquid karma is good. Also I notice house and garden has a soil product which I can get for my next grow. Also can you use shooting powder in soil?

One thing I think might be the problem is my light. When I first bought it it was way brighter than it is now. Don't get me wrong it's still bright. But not like I first saw it. It's about 6 months old.
I'll definately get a new one for next grow. I'm thinking a sunmaster super output.

If you give me a link to that sheet I'll fill it out.
Cheers,

Also I give them a heavy water every 4-5 days. Is this about right?

Thanks.
But there is nothing I didn't know before. Just seems like an advertisement for books.

Growing elite marijuana seems like a sweet book.
Anyone have a link to a torrent? I can't seem to find any.
