Is 19 WEEKS of 12/12 normal?

I've got Barney Farms LSD under 400w HPS SolarMax bulb.

My grow conditions are near perfect IMO. ~72-75 lights off, 80-85 lights on, lots of air exchange.
Pots range between 3 gallon and 5 gallon. Regular nutes, nothing crazy, several doses of 1000-1200ppm during flower with plain water at around 6.5ph between nutes. I found my run off a bit low in pH so I've been trying to stay right at 6.5.
FoxFarms soil with added perlite and vermiculite and some organic soil acidifier.

anyway, of the 4 plants I can tell there are 2 different phenos.


Two were planted in March....(one of each pheno)
They got 37 days of veg and I was able to harvest one plant after 72 days of FF. 10 weeks wasn't bad.
The other one that went in at the same time took another 9 weeks of flowering!?!111 I just cut that bitch down thursday and it broke soil back on 3/16.

I've got 2 more that broke soil 5/7 (also one of each pheno). I gave them about 30 days of veg, and they have been in FF about 13 weeks, but don't look ready to me.


To me, they look really good. They had TONS of massive fan leaves and appear to be on track to produce at least 2oz dry each. (I didn't weigh the first harvest in July)

They must be between 20-28 inches tall.


anybody have any thoughts?

I will get some pics when the lights come back up.

Here are a couple pics of the first plant I harvested in July. ~10 weeks of FF

Thats too long 133 days flowering. Must be an outdoor sativa ,light leaks etc. Next time get indica that flower in 8-9.

Sure looks like they are trying to re-veg... I'm assumimg what BUDS said... Light leak, too much nitrogen, pH is way off.. That doesn't seem right at all

This is not perfect conditions 80-85 degrees with lights on is way too hot! You want 72-75 at the most with the lights on. Lots off about 8-10 degrees cooler.

Thanks for the leads, I'll have to look into some of this. I didn't know 85 was "way too hot".......
