You don't need a finger board to train finger strength. Just find a first knuckle edge some where and hang it, taking off fingers and adding weight where necessary.

Campus board for power cruxing. Make big moves and make sure you pull through every time, even if you can't do the full movement - No soft-c--k matching. Keep it short (under and hour) and stop. Do as a stand alone, and not tacked on at the end of some climbing.

Make sure you train your antagonists, particularly your triceps as they help with the one - arm lock offs.

Train on your board completely front on - No fagging, or poncy drop knees. You're there purely for strength, you don't want to be using any tricks to make moves easier.

Finally, I agree with Goodvibes - 6 weeks isn't long enough to show any real results. This is the marker where I would expect to just be starting to see the effects of say 6 weeks of 2-3 times a week campussing sessions etc.
