More pics of Lillooet Landrace. 37 days into flower.

Still got about 20 days left with this short 8 week flower. Buds will continue to get thicker and trichomes will start showing more in the next few weeks.

Nice bud formation for a land race. Not sure if land race plants have smaller buds. But some that I've seen seem to have smaller buds

No. They may say 8 weeks of flowering but you would be harvesting too early. Just ask anyone on here who knows there flowering times. Yes you can harvest at 8 weeks. But you will have racy high plants. Give them 10 to 12 weeks to flower and you won't be disappointed. 8 weeks won't give you any CBN WHICH MAKES THST HEAVY HIGH coachwork. The buds will be fuller and fully mature. You won't be disappointed. The 8 week flowering times are a market ING ploy to get you to buy there seeds. But I'm sure others will agree with me just wait n see

Agreed.

Especially if the flowering period has been counted since switching lights to 12/12 as plants dont instantly stop veg growth hence “the stretch” period we all talk About.

the problem is that everyone classifies “the stretch” as flowering time when in reality it’s still VEG time.

The ladies will tell you when they are done don't just say breeder said 8 weeks. I learned my lesson on this exact topic don't rush they look good just keep it up, and a heads up don't worry about flushing just lower nutes way down.

Wrong answer.
Your answer should be I will allow them to flower until ready.

a lot of other factors go into determining ripeness.

even environmental factors can change flowering times.
Nutrient imbalances too.

etc. Please post back when you think they are ready for advice.

Ya I thought they were ripening a bit quick I can’t get the grow tent any lower then 30 C my humidity is between 40-50 only if I leave the tent door open for a couple hours when the lights come on at 7pm. Will the high temperature make the buds mature quicker?

No.

in my experience cooler temps help ripen quicker.

higher temps prolong flowering from what I’ve seen also high temps reduce Terpene content.

are you using an exhaust fan?

Yes I have a carbon filter
Wow that’s the most ineffective way of using Co2 bags I think I’ve ever seen in my life.

you are literally sucking any Co2 that thing is making straight out of your filter.

get that thing away from the filter.

if you’re going to hang it anywhere it should be above the plants and not near your exhaust.

What size is your fan?

where are you exhausting the hot air? Same room as your tent?

what’s the temperature of the room with your tent in it?

A little to much nitrogen, but she looks like shes where she should be. I have grown a bunch of those and they really blow up from day 42 to around day 54. And finish by day 63. It's a pretty stable CA strain, bred for N/C!

No the exhaust is hooked right up to the window beside the tent. It’s literally 27 C maybe at the least in the room my tents in. My fan is 8” on my exhaust and I have three rotating fans in the tent.
