I just chopped my one small plant that was flowering forever. It never seemed to change. Got a decent harvest for as small as the plant was. Just got tired of it being in my plant count and never seeming to change, even after 2 months
I'm growing Tangerine dream indoors with a 48x24x60" grow tent and this is at 14 weeks from seed till now. I've been checking the trichomes daily and they are close to being cloudy but just not yet. I've been flushing for about a week now and starting to see surrounding leaves discoloring slightly. These pics are from 10 days ago. This is my first time growing with observing trichomes in the determination of readiness. I always just went by weeks but I wanted to get the best THC growth so I'm getting a little more scientific this time. I know 14 weeks seems a little long but based on the trichomes appearance, they're still somewhat clear vs. being cloudy as my research online as being ideal picking time. It smells, looks amazing and sticky to the touch. Can't wait to harvest which is another process to readiness that will take time.

Reviving a ten year old thread. Good find!

My Tangerine Dream plants are currently at 16 weeks total grow time from seed planting, and about 7-8 weeks in flower stage. Buds are very numerous and HUGE! I'm growing 2 plants, using the SCROG method, in a 2'X5' home built grow room in my basement, with a heater connected to a thermostat to keep temps ALWAYS above 75 degrees. I use an LED light panel above each plant. I use AgroThrive fertilizer, supplemented with ElmDirt trace elements. Because of the shit soil I used to grow these, I am constantly battling gnats which destroyed my previous grow. I use a hydrogen peroxide solution every other watering, and frequently change out a number of the yellow sticky things to snag the flying gnats. Before you tell me to let the soil dry more, I have been waiting until I see the first signs of wilt on the plant before applying water. I'm guessing in the next 2-3 weeks, I'll be ready to harvest. Wish me luck!

Welcome new dude! You are flushing way too soon
I seem to be having the same luck with mine at 9 weeks into flower. She has trichomes but still transparent and all the pistils are rust. The other two started flower later, are bigger and we will see what happens with them. They smell really good and are sticky

Disregard breeder estimates ( harvest ) - they are guides only.
They finish as long as it takes.

The plant will tell you when she’s done, breeder estimates are simply a rough guide and even can be a marketing ploy as everyone wants the fast turnaround to harvest time…
