first things first.. what is the breed of your bad girl? indica's usually will go the 8-9 week grow but the sativa has and will take up to 14 weeks in flower alone so make sure you go by your breed specs and if you have none go by trichromes, cloudy is a good upidy high all amber will be a couch lock unless its a sativa. they are almost a upidy high but takes longer to flower.. if you get to your 8 week and it starts to show new growth on top then its a sativa. indica's will most of the time cap off and color, sativa's will grow these whispy twistie sprouts on the edges of your flowers amd will look very gnarly .. so time is of the essence ..
