yeah its a fine balance haha i took drastic measures this morning, a good buddy told me a trick that tomato farmers use, basically cutting half the root off, with tommies they do kinda half semi circles round the plant and it stresses into thinking its days are numbered and finihes up. it felt wholely wrong stabbing the roots with a breadknife.... (insanity? probably :lol:)

have you tried increasing the dark period? when i have a strictly sativa dominant crop i'll give them more dark (11 hrs light/13 hrs dark) because i think that sometimes 12/12 is too much light for some of the more annoying sativas.

i've tried a few experiments by stressing plants. part of me believes it works, part of me doesn't. how's that for a conclusion? lol

With a sativa the one thing you don't want to do is give it nitrogen when you are trying to finish the plant and cutting back the light hours is also a good idea. Don, I say cut the thing down. Even a neville's haze is only supposed to go fourteen weeks, they flat out say anything longer just ain't worth it. Six months, that seems ungodly long.

Fatboy, just curious, what's the most sativa dominant strain you have? As one of the old timers on here, a good sativa is always my cup of tea.

goodmorning!

there is a sativa pheno in my ssh that would take the cake as far as a normal sativa. i've never flowered one as long as they need to be flowered. i have one or 2 of these phenos running now. the biggest colas i ever grew came from this pheno.

i also have a freaky little genetic called cinderella 88 made by the bros grimm. according to soul, it's a very sativa dominant genetic that finishes in around 60 days. i grew it out a few times but it is too speedy for my tastes. i mean i'd take a few hits and feel like i snorted a line of some fine peruvian flake. as coke was a hobby for a few years, i no longer like anything even a little bit speedy.

hey OGOF, I've never grown this so not sure. It did go into 12/12 quite early but was showing signs fairly quickly. I'll just go by overall feel and look. As far as trichs are concerned, well they are not exactly massive on this girl so we shall see. The stigmas are all mainly white still whote the odd one turning...sheesh, it's like watching grass grow.

howdy DST!

i've never let my ssh go for 12 weeks. when will you consider them done?

i'm letting mine get to mostly cloudy with some amber trichs before i cut this time. i'm thinking 80 days or so but i'm getting impatient as i usually cut when the trichs are 1/2 clear and 1/2 cloudy.

the SSH has 3 main phenos and a cat piss that i've never found. it sounds like you have a sativa pheno. i have a bunch of seeds so i grow out 6 or more each time to try for a couple of the phenos.

does it look something like this? this annoying ssh was at 65 days here and her hairs are mostly white, her trichs are mostly clear and she doesn't look like she'll ready to be sacrificed for a long time. when my SAGE is ready, she's coming down.

Hi OG, Here's some pics of my SSH....




This is one of the lower buds, they are all huge as well but still kind of iffy...
