You guys that are having issues with accepting the flowering times, I have some advice.
Set your system up to be perpetual and customized to your preference and I promise you it won't matter a bit. That is the answer to your problem.
Besides, I have ran tons of packs of seeds that supposedly have a 55 to 60 day flowering period and in the end you will always end up running those plants at least 60 to 70 days. Also pheno variation comes into play. You may get one pheno that will run 70 days and one that might run 58 or 60. It is so hard to determine and exact finishing date, and yes I know that you guys are not implying that but just saying.
I respect
@Gu~ for putting maximum flowering period estimates on those packages, he is again, I said it... An honest man. Most breeders knowingly will sale you seeds that have a supposed short flowering time knowing they will run at least a week or two overm in order to grab you buy the balls and shake n empty your wallet to choose their gear.
If anything by Gu~ putting the longer flowering period am nd a more realistic truth on his packages, makes me happy to know he is an honest man. I know the flowering times may be different on the web than what is printed on the package, but there are so many things that could account for this. It could be a mistake or misprint, it could be that since further testings, his results have changed and over time a documentation of finishing time on said strains have proved that the average has changed to a more accurate number over a longer period of documenting tests.
Some of you guys (not all), are getting freebies and hookups and still complaining and as much as I buy from him and bring him customers to the table, not once have I ever got any kind of extra seed or definitely no free packs... But even knowing some do, you won't see me complain.
Relax... His gear is fire, and that is what is important. So if you REALLY wanna grow that fire and you REALLY are interested in his gear and don't wanna feel like you have "thrown your money away", make some changes to your grow style. Sacrifice the change for something better and grow perpetual.
Peace.
