I have a Skunk #1 that is beginning week 8 of flower and just about all pistils are still white. Has anyone grown Skunk #1 and noticed this? In all of my past grows at least 50% of the pistils would have at least started to recede and turn color by now. It still has 2 weeks to go, I have just began the 2 week flush. Any thoughts? Thanks

It is really hard to tell under the HPS but under regular lighting I am seeing something different. Had to trim a few light stressed leaves and noticed upon closer inspection some of the pistils are turning orange. Started to flush last night and If they keep changing at this rate everything should be on point for harvest in 2 weeks.

this one has been flowering for 7 weeks plus the 2 weeks that I counted as transition time when she was flipped to 12/12. Today starts week 8, so another 2 weeks of flushing will bring her to 9 full weeks plus the 2 weeks of transition. I will chalk it up to an average of 10 weeks total

Just an update. End of week 9 and the entire plant is ripe, pistils have all turned color and the leaves are yellowing beautifully and trichomes are all cloudy. Nice fade indeed. This pheno is really showing its Colombian Gold genetics. A definite beauty, will regrow again, as I have 2 more of these beans in storage. Seedsman genetics are spot on and you always get what is advertised every time. Flowering time was 9 full weeks plus 2 weeks of transition. An average of 10 weeks to fully ripen this pheno.

Like conor c said, cause all the ones I have ever grown come in on week 11 from the flip, and that's at about 30% amber!

It worked out aprox. 9 weeks given that the plant was under 12/12 lighting for a total of 11 weeks, but I didn't start counting until 2 weeks after the first sign of pre-flowers.

It only seems done because you flushed it.This only kills the plant early to make it seem done.

Are you saying that it should go 10 -11 weeks? I would love to, but unfortunately one has to worry about mold with this strain, it is known for it when flowered for too long. But with that said, at 9 weeks most of trichs were cloudy and just beginning to turn amber. When I finally purchase a dehumidifier I will let it go maybe 12 weeks for shits and giggles.

I chopped mine at 11 weeks from flip, and taking into consideration the 1-2 weeks of transition time, It averaged out to be approx. 9 weeks of flowering
