Hi guys,

I have a question about flower maturity. My current grow, which I've pictured, is all from seed and all the same strain. I have three plants growing in a 1.2 by 1.2m tent, two at the back and one at the front. Mostly I tend to, and take pictures of, the main plant at the front - it's always grown the most, fastest, biggest, etc. Last night I checked on the rear of the tent [which is a pain in the ass] and I noticed a few of the colas on the two plants at the back have some orange pistils. I don't know when they got there, as the main plant at the front hasn't displayed any of these changes, and I don't know when I last had a close look at the others.

How far apart do you suppose these plants are in maturity?

In these instances is it normal to harvest in stages?

Thank you for any help or advice on reading the signs :)

Just like kids every plant matures at different rates just watch the trichs that's how I
judge maturity, 20% amber the rest cloudy the pistil color can vary from plant to plant
within the same strain.
I hope this helps.

:peace:

Thanks guys,
Yes, they're both at five and a half weeks in the photos(same age.) Good evaluation!

The plant pictured in first picture has no orange pistils anywhere on it's colas, the second has roughly the same amount, on a couple of the other colas, as the one pictured.

I guess I'll have to watch them a bit closer from now on. I was somewhat expecting them to all come together at the same time, which seems a bit naive of me when I think about it now, but I hadn't really given that a lot of thought. I'll have to go to plan B as I expected to use the same tent they're growing in to dry them!

From seed, even with all the same "strain" you will get different plants. No two seeds will make the same plant; its always good to clone your plants in veg so you can pick out the keepers! But you can also save a strain in flower or from re vegetating a harvested plant.

If I popped 9 blue dream seeds, i'd get 9 different plants. 1 would most likely be the best of the 9, maybe I would like two phenotypes and keep 2 of them. Seeds always gonna be pretty different my man

You have a good nose for these things mate:) little guy arrived this afternoon. All went to plan. Mrs D was amazing to say the least. And the wee dude is a spit of his brother but with a boxers nose lol. Explains a lot of the punching that was going on prior to birth. Natural birth, wife literally pushed for 10 minutes and he was out. I have never heard expletives coming out of my wife's mouth like they were for those long 10 minutes.
First celebratory joint then I'll probably crash and burn. Thanks cof.
Peace to the 600.

Hey 600w Club, it's Dec 5th and the sprouts are moving right along. the Cherry Bomb so far is doing the best. The Oregon Cactus is 5/6 days ahead of the Seed Master's I'm sure everything will catch up.respond to another thread. I mounted a couple of 6 inch. Vorteck blowers and I'm running a couple of (pain in the ass to change the bulb, overpriced) Hydro Farm hoods. It will be a couple of weeks before I throw the plants in. Meanwhile, back at the ranch..........
