Well I would like to ask the experienced grower what was the most days over the seed companies instructions did anybody grow a strain ,that doesn't sound right but i'm high so i hope you get the drift ,for example at the moment i am growing Big bang which the pack said took 8-9 weeks I am now in week 12 and have been told that they still have a bit to go, is this possible for a plant to grow that long and still not be ripe

there are many variables that can make a plant grow slower. seed banks flowering times are "general" estimates.

Thought that would be the misses job but who knows what goes on behind closed doors lol.. sorry I'm baked
Is it common for CFL grown plants to take longer than HPS

so when "all" trichs are amber and dark, then there probably isn't much more ripening to happen? or that's what I gather? The strain I have is called Blue Rhino.
White Widow x Afghani x Blueberry.
FDD - I would swap my decent indoor grows for some of them outdoor ones you've got goin on 24/fuckin/7

depends a lot on the strain. i have seen sativas that just keep going and going. the buds get all crazy looking. they get those long horns, but they still have white hairs everywhere. white hairs = new growth. new growth = new trichomes. new trichomes don't pop out already ripe. if you have white hairs you have new trichs.

yes fuck those forever flowering foxtailing sativasss

ya know I read zeuses harvesting guide, but its not thorough enough for everyones plants.

Ive read a zillion different places that indicas and sativas finish different. I had to look elsewhere to find out that an Indica is pretty much ripe when the crystals turn cloudy. It claimed that most true indicas wont get very amber.

and zeuses(+ rep by the way zeus) showed what his plant looked like when it was done, honest it was a "transformation."

Mine just didnt do it the same, and I believe its just a difference in strains.


Bomby lookin purply stuff b the way zeus. bravissimo

100% amber can give you that cross-eyed retarded feeling.

One thing I've noticed with going "too long", is that they will start pushing male flowers due to flowering stress, and then seeds. This can happen long before the trichomes ripen.

Each strain is different, so reading any one persons tutorial may not be that helpful.

More light = faster growth and ripening.
Breeders estimates are based on 1000w, so if you're using something smaller you can usually safely add a few weeks to the estimates.

ha ha, DUDe its ok man sarcasam is real tough to pick up on online. the lack of tone and facial expression sometimes is the key . plus if your not in the right part of the world you may never fully grasp the ridiculous art of dry sarcasam. but i think being from north east usa i got years of exp in this. so dude was kiddin, crack rocks are not a product of harvesting late.... but man what if huh...... so profitable lolol.........:-P
EDIT, MAN I AM SO HIG,( YA I CHEATED ON MY RESOLUTION FUCK SHIT DAMN) BUT I MAY OF JUST BEEN SO HIGH THAT I MISSED YOUR SARCASAM, FUCK I AM SURE OF IT HAHA...... I AINT GONNA ERASE IT, IMMA CLOWN LAFF AT ME

This is good..
The bottom line is energy. the plant has a process it goes through to produce energy...
it needs a certain amount of energy to finish... each strain/seed has its set amount...

they're more based on.. having the plant down. Giving it the most nutes possible, without burning it. Never doing something to the strain to hinder it's forward progress.

Hmmm..... Now ya got me thinking too. I just might have to let one of my current crop go WAY beyond where I "should" harvest, just to see how it goes. Maybe I'm sick, but sometimes I LIKE being retarded-stoned!!!! I don't know if I'm capable of getting that way anymore after a looonnnnggggg time smoking, but I really miss getting stupid/silly stoned, with the tunnel-vision and uncontrollable giggles and munchies, etc. I haven't been that stoned since I was a teenager --- but I'd LOVE to find/grow some weed that would do that to me again, lol.
