Yep, Mrmeangreen... I've heard people on both sides of the fence... I was just curious because I wanted to get a rough "due date" but I'll be keeping an eye on the trichs so I'm not too concerned which is accurate.. was just to get an idea as to when to expect them to finish..... but ty the response nonetheless

ww x bb is my number one strain. I got the seeds from 'female seeds'. A piece of valuable advice: don't listen to the recommended finishing time. you need to do 10-11 weeks for this strain. I have done this strain multiple times up to 8 1/2 weeks and the buds were thick in growth but when dried always turned out super thin and hardly potent. And that's with optimum room conditions. Once i started allowing it to go into the end of week 10 or end of week 11, I noticed the buds dried super dense and thick. And the smell was amazing as soon as I opened the bag. Please take my advice on this so you can have a bountiful harvest. I promise you will not be disappointed.
NOTE: most breeders take a week or two off the actual completion time in order to encourage people to buy the seeds. Most people are too impatient to get a harvest so they prefer shorter growing strains rather than the long growing strains.

You're on the right track...
Keep up whatever you're doing and keep posting...
My bud would not be growing as good as it is if I hadn't found this site.
And thats the truth!

just curious cannabis philosopher.... I'm growing them from femaleseeds as well.... after 10 or 11 weeks what did your trichomes look like??? I'm in NO hurry so I'd love to let Her go as long as she needs to... great to talk to someone who has grown the same seeds!!!!
to all of the amazing people on this site!!Cannabis Philsopher

@donnie. My trichomes at 10-11 weeks are usually 45% cloudy, 55% amber. It can vary just a little, but I promise you will be amazed at the results. Even at the end of week 10 will give you some excellent smoke. Be sure to let her fully air dry before curing. Don't start curing until you hear the stems 'snap' when bended. Never start curing until this point. For the best smell and smoothest smoke be sure to start flushing weeks 8-10. You'll see. And we are always here to help. We are all part of the movement in which we believe, Cannabis should be legal.

I should have mentioned.... been using the fox farms trio.... have been using bud candy for the last few weeks... but they recommend only using it through week 6 of flowering so I grabbed the molasses per suggestion of some friends to finish her with... any input ALWAYS appreciated!

Well, I think you're wrong. I'm fairly certain that the flowering period starts the first day of 12/12. Many seed companies will give both flowering periods (for indoor crops) and also harvest times (for outdoor crops).
Here's an example from this page: http://barneysfarm.com/?l=en&i=33

my gut instinct is that there may be somewhat of a transition period.... maybe a week??? but this is strictly me trying to make sense of something I know very little, if anything about. I'm sure there are people on here that could provide a good argument for both sides.... and I'd love to hear them do it
