Longest duration of time during flowering

What's the longest duration of time you had a plant or plants in the flowering phase?

For example, I'm at day 90 right now (13 weeks). Waiting for the buds to ripe. I hope they hurry the fuck up already.

Any help would be appreciated. Tks ahead of time.

That's not Shantibaba's "Mango Haze" is it? That was the longest flowering plant I've ever ran @18 weeks and one of the worst plants I've ever ran...period. All of that wait and there was almost no buzz. The claims were "no ceiling" highs. No doubt...you could smoke that stuff all day!

Good luck on your finish!

Nice looking plant!
Did you check the trichomes? And do you know the recommended flowering time from the breeder for the strain? I don't know what strain it is but when I zoom in on your pic it gets blurry, but it kind of looks close to being done. Maybe can you take a close up pic of the bud so people can see closer. Or tell us the strain name? One time I got a freebie from GDP seeds of their "Phantom Cookies", bro I only vegged for like a week or two and that thing was in a 3 gallon pot, it was put in flower when it was shorter then my knees... It just kept flowering and flowering forever, I was at like week 15-16 and I was doing maintenance in my veg tent and notice a smell like burning hair, I looked in my flower room! Dude, that thing grew so high it flopped over on my light!!!!! No joke!
I had 8 plants in there and it completely took over my 5x5x8 it shoved all the other plants aside, and grew an inch from the ceiling! It just kept going and going like Jack and the Beanstalk!
I had to strap all the buds to the roof. It seemed like it would never finish so I chopped her at like week 17 because she seemed she would never finish, but surprisingly although airy larfy fluff, it was actually a decent smoking sativa hahaha....
Super greasy, it looked like the bud you would have seen in a Hightimes magazine in the 1970's
I got a couple pics if you would like to see, but don't want to high jack your thread!

2 more weeks

No it's a cross of skunk xl and Gelato or gelatti... i really don't remember.

Does anyone know the dli ppfd for riping phase? I keep finding what I'm guessing misinformation.

I attached a few pics from the last cpl days so you can see the buds closer. Can't take more pics till i get home later tonight. Sorry I know some of the closer pics are probably still blurry but that's all I can do now

13 weeks was my longest, and honestly I don't know how much longer I could tolerate than that.

Not sure about ppfd numbers, I don't really pay attention to that. A lot of people turn the light intensity down a bit that last few weeks. You could also try a 11/13 or 10/14 schedule.

Long flowering sativas are great if you can take them the distance. However, I wouldn't be surprised if you chopped now and it was still pretty good. Maybe not 100% full potential, but after 13 weeks you start weighing the pros and cons...
