71 days from first day of 12/12 or 71 days since you saw pistils growing? There is a huge difference in the two. Personally I don't start counting days until I have confirmed pistils growing out. This can take anywhere from 3-15 days to happen that's why it matters when you started counting.

i got a bubblelicious that i think might take that long. it is only at 6 weeks, but it is looking like a long finisher. my other one will take 8 weeks max.

Not growing this strain, but i'm at the breeders 'book' of 56 days for a nl#5, still not there by the trics. The breeder guideline was based on plants grown under 400 watt hps. I'm using smaller wattage cfl's. Many factors can influence maturation rate.

you guys have to take into account that those times the breeders give you are grown under optimal conditions with no stunted growth.

trichs tell you when they're done..not some breeders book

You only vegged your seeds / seedlings for one week before you started flowering ?

If so your flowering prematurely.

If your vegging plant is Sexually Immature and you put it into flower two things will happen.

It will take the plant longer to flower, because the hormone levels are not sufficient.

And you will not have as vigorous flowering that you would with a mature plant / clone.
