Slower than Usual Flower Time Length

[Chorse]

I have been running the same strain for almost 6 years. Generally they reach 10-20% Amber trichomes in the 65-70 day range. I am currently at day 74 and I am just starting to see a few trichs turning and it will be at least 80 days until they will be ready. I wonder if my HPS bulb needs changing (only 2nd grow) or my reflector maybe (2 years old). Conditions during grow have been pretty average. Most parameters are exactly the same as previous grows.

I guess I am just looking for thoughts on why things are taking longer this time. Thanks.

Buds are looking pretty good, in any case.

I'd just go ahead and chop... There always seems to be some mystery in growing. I'm currently flowering about 30 plants. For some reason one plant that was a clone from the last grow has decideded to be physically challenged. The plant gets the same treatment as the rest and is getting good light and correct temps, but for an unknown reason is a shriveled up lame ass plant...

Those buds are looking real nice!

Yeah Thanks. I am in no hurry and know how I like'em.

Yeah Thanks. I am in no hurry and know how I like'em.

possible the co2 factor has changed . less co2 then usual in the room ? i seen clones from a mother plant . only 1 matured 2 weeks faster then all the others . suggest looking into 10/14 lighting to get plants mature faster . google it . have an experiment going and liking it . did 12/12 for 7 weeks about that / switched to 10/14 and they got bigger and finishing faster . some times plants just take for ever .

No on the CO2, even my winter grows where I reduce the air turnover rate to almost nothing usually stiill finish in < 70 days. All plants are maturing evenly. 12/12 has worked fine for me. Thanks though.

Check ur timers I had this happening to me recently one timer blew and a set of light was on 24-7, probably took a week to notice. Plants took forever

. Yeah, no, timers are good. But another good one for the possible.
