ARGH , 25 days after breeders time how much longer !?

[Coalcat]

I gotta ask...when did you start counting and how long did they say it was gonna take to flower. Because those plants don’t look anywhere near done and it’s not like they look super sativa either. I can see an 8 week going to 10 or 11 if it leans sativa but it shouldn’t look like that at this point. Especially plant 4

Its og kush from dinafem feminized i vegged for 5 weeks , i started counting on the days 36 , genetics says 58 days today is 84 day of flowering + 35 days of veg takes so long....

 

[Skyhound]

im gonna do a quick dry test with plant 1 , i dont like the dead folliage too , its like theire goona die before they reach maturity

 

[Coalcat]

Wow i guess don't grow that sucker again. It better end up being good. That seems super long for an OG Kush...but what do i know.

 

[Skyhound]

i dont think the problem is genetics , its a good one , i had the same problem with lsdfrom barney farm , was 4 weeks off , cutted it with white pistils thinking it was to long , diddnt get me high , all 4 plants to waste something im doing wrong or my enveronment

~Last grow was with a 250w hps in 60x60x160 tent i had the same 6 to 7 weeks delay . Now i have 170w leds that are better then 250 hps https://cre.science/en/shop/the-halo-fluxengine-x4/.

CAnt believe i invested so much and now cant have normal grow in a 60x60cm tent

You need to invest in better lights to get better buds.

Light intensity plays a big role in the maturation process... not enough light will cause flowering to take longer.

As for when to cut, there are visual cues to look for, but if you really want to be sure, I'd say clip a nug off, dry it and smoke it. This way, your testing the quality of the high itself, rather than the quality of aesthetic cues

This is good advice. My first time, I had a weaker lights than needed and went 5 weeks over. I also clipped nugs and checked it out before chop a few dif times before I was satisfied.

Theres 4 plants the fimmed ones i gonna call 1 and 2 and the non fimmed ( seem less mature more white pistils) gonna call 3 and 4 . Please help me out because this is my 3rd grow , my 2 first grows i cutted 2 early and didnt get high from weed . Also why is it so longer after breeders time what could i be possibly doing wrong or is this normal .

Trichs are the best way to know once ya get used to what to look for. Over time I've realized breeders time is often off by 2ish weeks. Nute or ph issues will slow her down too.

for this space theres no better option, buds are big enought fat and hard

 

[Skyhound]

yeh this is bad im smoking plant 1 and no high , i bet its the temperatures this summer days im getting 32c inside tent , is this crop going to waste too?

That sucks man 32c is too warm. Although that usually results in lost of flavour - not certain about high.

What does affect potency is the power of your lights.

I don't check the trichomes and I never harvest early. I used to but after so many years growing I can tell by just looking. Plants will start having amber trichomes well before they're actually fully ready. There's plenty of people chopping plants way too early because they saw some amber trichomes. It is not the gold standard and there are also strains where you may not even get any amber trichomes or if you do the plant will be shriveled and half dead by the time they start turning.

No white pistils, swollen calyx's with receding pistils, dense heavy buds, plant stops drinking. One more week and harvest. No scope needed.

just looks ripe.

Ignore all breeder recommended time frames because you are not growing in their garden!

That's why there are no real breeders by my standards. They tell you what it's going to grow like and how it's going to taste but don't give you the soil recipe or environment..? Fuck that. Most "breeders" don't even grow and get their info from random idiots who wiggled their arm in the air like a teachers pet when presented with the opportunity for free seed.

Wow wow wow I think this is officially the first time I’ve been able to agree with one of your statements.

 

[Skyhound]

I actually totally agree with cutting plant #1. It limits the chance of bud rot forming in the dead growth and it will give you something to smoke on and practice drying SLOWLY so you don’t fuck up the other plants.

Thundercat plant 1 doenst make me high and zero amber trhichomes , do u think shes gonna make it on time or shes lost ?

Just let it ride then and see how long it survives.
