hehe lucky guy i'm out of weed .... it depends of the strain, but to be honest personally i never heard a strain that needs more than 11 weeks. anw as i can see your plants look healthy and nice buds on so i wouldnt worry too much. did you stressed them at all lately?

only thing i can think of is that for the past month one day it will be 90 and the next 30 and snowing.(weird weather lately) and my room is mostly controlled by the outside temp. i put fans in when its hot to cool it down to around 70 but iv been doing that for like 3 weeks now and they seem to have haulted growth. kinda making me depressed ya know? =/

i think thats the problem. not so much the 90 thing but the 30 seems very stressful (i checked my thermometer and 30 F is -1C ??? :s) this is shocking to them. heater or A/C available? try to keep them a bit warm when it is snowing... dont get depressed buddy evereything will work out fine as long as you are hooked up... difficulties make your homemade weed sweeter when it gets finished if you know what i mean .

you probably only grow indica or you don't grow cannabis at all. Many sativas have very long flowering times. i have grown some out over 14 weeks. just depends on what strain u have and how ripe you want it to get. the pics look like a healthy sativa plant bud.. Just be patient and you will be glad u did.

if you can keep them at 70 its ideal (you made me tired bro running up and down to check the thermometer for F to C conversion hehe). yes that was what i was talking about, i been down that road many times no weed to smoke but plenty under the lights growing... this time i ran out of weed and there is not any under the lights the girls are still vegging and 1g here is sold for 30 euros (i think around 55 dollars ) and i lost my job recently so this sucks hard :/ keep me posted about your girls i really want to see them recover and get harvested... also check my grow and stick around to grow united since in here is the only place i can share my grow and take and give advice without getting busted

my indicas usually are finished at 8-9 weeks of flowering and my sativas varied from 9-11 weeks. but never been at 11 week with this results... these plants are shocked IMO. but ok your opinion is appreciated also :)

hehe not that strong but its acceptable. you can score weed for 15 euros (25 usd) but its full of dead seeds and male trimmed leaves iside taste like shit and almost touches you ... the best ganja you can score in my country is my home grown :p

nice respectable reply man. Yeah check out some of the flowering times on attitude on some full sativas. The commercial window will be between 10 to twelve weeks, but if you let em go a week or two more the get much more ripe.

i tend to agree, they almost look like they are trying to reveg themselves for some odd reason.. what is your light schedule atm?? i know this is kind of a stupid question honestly, but it looks like either they are getting far more then 12 hours of light, or like the above poster said, there is some form of a light leak going on which is causing them to get confused and go back to vegetive growth..
i've heard of some strains taking up to even 20 weeks for a full blown sativa, but for some reason, they still look like they have tons of time left on them, and it also looks like a lot of leafy growth on them for this far into flower..

Hey, im no pro for sure, but to me, from my research on this site, it looks like they all have a late flowering Nitrogen problem... somewhat stunted growth, very dark green leaves that get a lil firm and crispy?

just thought id give an update on one of them...
this one seems to be the farthest done as i cant see...
got my temps semi undercontrol. atleast the best i can with my budget
seems to be fattening up more and it looks they are opening up or something not too sure lol
but it like 13 effin weeks in............:-(

question....you guys think i should trim up the leaves alittle. like the dying shit and such. i was thinking maybe this will put all the energy into the buds instead of the leaves and such. yes? no? thanks in advanced!
