Are they done yet

Everyone will have different opinions, it's really up too you but like others said go another week or run it until there is no more white pistols , only red and when your Calax is swelled and pistols recede back up into itself, my 2 cents

i was expecting a ten week run. I started flushing a week ago. So now the soil runoff is down to 200ppm. I do feel it will be 2 more weeks. I guess a small feeding is in order.

They went into flower on April 10th
i'm not saying you're lying about how long she's been in flower, i am just stating that she doesn't look like she is at 65 days of "flower." you're asking if she is done and in my opinion/experience she isn't...

for example--these are the same strain but different phenos and both went in on April 17th. this first one i will probably chop this weekend while the second one will probably get at least another week. yours has way too many white pistils to consider her at nine weeks of flower. how long did you veg yours for? these were both almost twelve weeks when they were put into flower--they pretty much started flowering immediately.

your girl looks frosty and happy - i'd keep letting her do her thing after all the time you have invested in her and let her finish. bongsmilie

OK I understand. They were advertised as 9 - 10 weeks. Looks more like 12 -14 weeks. I will obviously wait a few more weeks at this point. Wait for the trickiest to change and the pistols as well. I do appreciate all the opinions and comments

Not done that strain so could be wrong, they do look Nitrogen rich those leaves. Too much N can slow flowering which may be why they have gone longer than you anticipated As I say I have not run that strain.

I never knew that about too much Nitrogen slowing down flower. I was pretty good with the nutes this run. Thanks
As I say, I wouldn't want to say there is defo too much N with a strain I'm not familiar with but here are a link.

This is just plants in general http://homeguides.sfgate.com/effects-much-nitrogen-plants-43755.html

The same thing goes for any problem in flower, especially mid flower, Let say you miss a watering or conditions changed and they dried out unexpectedly fast and wilted slightly, the recovery means the plants energy is not going into flowering as much as it would be. Prolongs the flowering period again. All sorts can go wrong, it all adds days to the final chop and can reduces yield depending on when you had the problem. I have had issues myself in the precious weeks 5-6 when they should be stacking up flower size, cost me in yield on that occasion.

Anyhow, don't worry too much about all that, just watch your plants and they will tell you when they are ready. Just pointing out that they can often take a few weeks longer than expected for various reasons.

Nice and frosty btw
Good luck with them!
