I am approaching the fifth week of flowering my white widow and northern lights. My question is this. I have read were turning the lights back in the seventh and eighth week from 12 hrs on and 12 hrs off to maybe 10 or 8 or even 6 hrs on will help in the development of the resin glands. Please don’t answer if you have not seen or tried this before. I am not a novice and I am just looking for an added boost. thanks for your help
Yea shortning from 12/12 to 11/13 than 10/14, it helps the plant finish a little faster and not only finish a little faster it will help produce a thicker resin coat, as well as build a thicker sheet of trichomes.
Reason they finish a little earlier is because by shortening the light cycle it’s telling your plants their season is coming to an end and they need to hurry and progress. Being said your approaching the 5th week id switch to 11/13 until 7th week of flowering, than once you enter the 7th week of flowering, change lights again to 10/14 they should be at 10/14 for the last 2 weeks. You should see a descent change in trichome levels within that amount of time

Keep in mind intense light decrease resin trichomes and in the dark period the plant rebuilds the resin trichomes to protect the plant and to catch pollen from the male plant to breath before it harvest and die , so by extending your dark period will help the plant finish sooner like Majiktoker said and also help build more resin trichomes and fatten up them big cola budding tops . This is the way I finish my plants each grow . First week 12/12 , Second week 11/13 , than after the first two weeks of which is preflower after the switch from veg to flower , going into the First week of flower ( week three normally which is really week one ) I switch to 10/14 for 8-10 weeks or until plant finish , hope this helps , but I’ve never ran less than 10 hours on running lights ?

Question: I have 4 5 gallons fabrice pots. Will I feed each individual plant 2 1/2 gallon of water. Or use the 2 1/2 gallon of water to feed overall?
Man you resurrected an old thread! LOL!
And with a completely rando question! No harm though man - I enjoyed the info above as well. 
First off - Welcome to the forum!!
Near the top right of the main page you’ll find the “Start New Thread” or new topic or whatever button.
If you wanna stick around we can help you through your grow every step of the way! It’s what this place does!
You’d be best off starting your own journal though then all your questions, answers, etc are all consolidated in one, easy to find place!
It’s dead serious when it comes to weed, but we keep it lite too!
Join the crowd!!
Weed likes wet/dry cycles. You should thoroughly drench the medium to the point where you get say 10-20% of it back. Drainage is very important to weed. Then you shouldn’t water again until it’s dry to a depth of an inch or two, then drench again.
You want the medium to be moist, but not muddy or drenching wet. Again, good drainage is important.
On smaller plants water in a ring far from the base of the plant to encourage the roots to expand throughout the bag. As the plant gets established and larger…well, that’s self-explanatory! LOL!
You can put a @ in front of my name, or anybodies, and a notification will be sent and can offer help when available.
