Anyone with Sativa harvest experience

I have these 3 tall Ladies in a 4x5x8' closet and am just wondering what to expect. Unknown strain, maybe power skunk.
Their Sativa as can be. One each in a 5 gallon bucket, DWC, bubble stone.
I have a single 400hps and 4 85w cfl and 4 43w cfl's.
The tallest one has hit the ceiling and is bending over, about 80" tall.
9 full weeks of flower now and the buds are at about 20% red hair. Trics are still clear.
Was just wondering if anyone had any estimate of how much longer?
Also about 3 weeks ago I added a bud enhancer, kool bloom, and now the buds have spurted growth but in a weird manor. There getting much bigger but also growing long shoots off of them with very little bud on the new growth. The new growth has little to no fan leaves, it's just bud, but tiny buds and far apart. Seems weird to me. The pics below is showing the new growth shooting out the sides of current buds.

Ya'll may be forgetting those pics are the new growth, growing out from the sides of much bigger buds that are not in the pictures.
I agree what your seeing don't look ready, but the buds there growing from are fist sized.
This is some kinda of wierd new growth sprouting off the main buds.
I thought I read something here in RIU that a bud booster sometimes causes new growth. Wonder if I oughta cut em off? There anywhere from 6 to 10" long.

Gonna be a while yet, a loooong while.

I grow Arjan's ultra haze #1. A long flowering sativa.


Heres what it looks like at 4 weeks of 12\12


It Finishes in about 15 weeks. Based on the fact that yours are 9 weeks into 12\12 I have to imagine that either.....

-You have some insane 20 week thai sativa
Or maybe
-You have light leaks? Those will set you back a whole long way.





Anyways heres a link to my smoke\grow report of AUH#1

i'm interested to know too. I'm growing some power plant, power skunk, and durbon poison. All 5 weeks into flower, the is my first attempt. I'll post some pics soon for you to compare. The seed bank i bought these from said 8-10 week flower i believe. Wouldn't be more than 10 or else i wouldn't have ordered them!

Im growing some g13 labs power skunk, looked exactly same as yours. 12 weeks in flower and they still have a good week or 2 left. For some reason they look like there getting on sweet then those branches just advance and start budding aswell.

so annoying as i was hoping to have them all cut and dry by this weekend but found out this wasnt going to happen a while back

Power skunk is a funny thing. Mine seem to be doing good at 4.5 weeks and I could see them being done at about week 9 or 10. Yours (pushingsquares) seem to have been stunted some how. I think that previous post about a possible light leak might be dead on. Some things seems wrong there but Im no pro

(pic has an unknown indica and a big bang, all sativa lookin plants are Power Skunk)

That's exactly whats happening.
Yeah I think their g13 labs power skunk, I ordered northern lights and got these sent to me instead, Was supposed to get 10 NL and 5 free PS but I think they reversed the order.
Thanks dude!

Grown Hawaiian Snow from Greenhouse Seeds, which is strongly sativa dominant. Sativa takes forever, forget rushing. Long enough that I gave up counting weeks. It will be done when it's done. The buds should be way, way fatter. You can also watch the pistils for signs that it's getting close. They'll be mainly white and gradually start darkening to orangey brown. A couple on the main stem, those two you find at the node, may darken miles ahead of the actual buds, don't use them as a guide. You have weeks to go, a good three or maybe more. -like my reply? pls vote in my bulb poll (sig)-

I grow some very sativa phenos from a Jack Herer packet. Sensi say they'll finish in about 70 days, but mine go well over a hundred days to ripen nicely.
