Pruning and Flowering time...

Okay - so I have a Dairy Queen and a Third Dimension, TGA Subcool

Growing in soil, organic nutes, 5 gal pots, ph'd water, LST grow with screen, 2' 4-tube T5HO with 3 supplemental CFL's, etc. etc.

Not important.

My main question is this: I am approaching my breeder's harvest window for both of my plants, but I put them through a shit load of stress over the course of this grow. None hermied on me (thank god), but I think it has set me behind schedule...

I have heard that always add a week or so (while monitoring trichs) to the breeder's schedule...and I have also heard if you do a heavy prune...add another week or so.

For example, week 2 of flowering I was like "hmm, maybe I should prune for the first time the entire grow" and snipped off like a handful of leaves and shit. In week 4 of flowering...my humidity spiked and I needed to really prune my girls back to cool my box down, so I took the lower 1/3 of the plant (as is suggested to do anyway) all off at once.

Immediately after the prune, the girls reaaaaaaaaalllllllllllyyyyyyyyy slowed down. So my question is how long should I tack on to the grow???

Or...is this a total myth?

Estimated time would be preferred. I can post pic's, but it's not really useful here. I am also monitoring trichomes and it looks like it still needs some time. Like some cloudy, a lot clear, and no amber. I am shooting for 90% cloudy to harvest.

Thanks RIU-ers!

Some pics at day 45 of flowering. the 3d are the first two pics...a 80/20 hybrid, but I am thinking from it's outrageous stretch period, that it is of the sativa phenotype. Which rocks, but I am not expecting high yield. That will be my champagne for special occasions.

The Dairy Queen, like I said, looks like Santa shat snow all over it. But still not as fat as I wanted. Thoughts are much appreciated. Mean comments are not.

The plants dont really grow after week 4 of flowering. They are fattening up the flowers. In the next 4 weeks, you will see those buds fill out much more.

it looks like a lot of the pistils have already turned. I dont see a lot young, white ones in the flowers. Maybe its just the pics...
