this is a ak-47 which was vegged for 7 weeks and being flowering for 7 weeks under 1200ppm CO2 and 600W HPS. i read that this strain finishes around 9-10 weeks but these pics seem to disagree. let me know what you think :

The flower time breeders give is based on optimal conditions, time varies depending on lights, temp, nutes humidity etc. go by your observations, the strains I grow say 8 to 9 weeks also but I end up some time 10 to 12 weeks depending on my trichs.

The Thrichomes don't look done to me but the buds do though. Give it a few more days. I have had some strains finish a week earlier.

It's a personal prefernce.
I like my Trichones 75% Cloudy and 25% Amber.
That is what I like.:mrgreen:
If you don't know what you like. Experiment.
Right, now is a good time to find out.
Take a tiny bud now...then take one in a week when the percentages in color changes.
Keep notes..don't try to remember the effects. We tend to forget..LOL

Ciao

Have you ever noticed any further maturation of the triches after harvest?

just a tad early. i say two weeks. the trichs will golden more and the buds should more dense. maybe give it a little molasses then flush after a week.

this is how the ladies currently look. i'm not a big fan of indicas and the couchlock effect. How much increase in ambers should i expect if i go for another week ? Any guesstimates ?
