Did you get the serious seeds AK47 . They look like a couple weeks to go to me. I barely have any pistills just big swallow calyxes at week 8 - 9 . But you know every grow environment is different. I grow in dwc hydroponics so that could speed up the maturity a Lil bit . Good looking plant for under a 400w tho. When I started mine from seed years ago I grew in coco and it did take a couple weeks longer . I noticed that when I first flipped to 12/12 it took under 2 weeks to show sex but with cloning it takes 7 days from flip

I shall take the advice from thee DJT and turnip83bongsmilie:blsmoke::bigjoint:
just keep looking closely. with bare eye. flowers will try to prouce its own seeds to survive if you let it run too long. if you start to see little balls in the flowers it may be time to chop. these are kind of hard to spot because will be sme color as flower but are usually about the size of like a bb maybe a nerd candy or slightly smaller but perfectly round (kind of of course).

anyway also watch for banana hairs. these are just long yellow hairs that will shoot out sometimes before / during the sacks are about to be produced. this is for the plant to try to self sex before it die to save itself. ttys

I'm using a 30x jeweler loupe with lighting. The buds themselves are milky, the trichs on the sugar leaves are Amber and purple (crazy purple trich) I'm watching daily Bc they are hanging over....I really wish I could chop Friday Bc my friend took off to help me but I don't know if I want to do that Bc I want them to be fully done and I mean FULLY done.

These right now these are in soil and I'm flushing the ak now and the widow is in her 2nd week of flower and she is looking good but I used mg soil like an idiot Bc I love in a town that doesn't sell soil this season so I just flush often and she looks "ok"

yea try a aero grow in fence posts next time if u can sog style. i rec two 1ks for a 4x4 flood table.

try pushing the strain to 2k ppm or more. you could do it for under 100$

i love not having to water and superior flower personally. its like a win win. im not knocking you at all those are fantastic buds for soil bro.

my setup is chill man. everything just flushed through a 1/2" pvc pipe into the bathtub drain LOL. Im about to intigrate some solenoid valves onto wireless wifi outlets. setup is about $75 each valve / outlet combo

This will let me control flushing, adding h20 from the valves/outlets, and addition of nutes will be handled soon by wifi auto doser.

p.s. the plant above is week 2 flwer? how long veg for that stalk?

image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg I let the widow veg for about 6 weeks I believe...I waited until I had preflowers. The ak..man she vegged for seven weeks...even had alternating nodes before I flipped her lol...I'm hating the mg on my widow and can't wait to start fresh with my new soil but I'm stuck with her for now and I have to make the best of it. Wow you do have a great set up!! Can I see a pic?

Let hope a pound!! I was hoping for at least 7 ounces...I always let them veg for at least 7 weeks Bc I like a stout tree!! Wow a pound....ill def keep u updated. I last grew in a crappy overpriced box and got about an ounce that wasn't even ready...I learned from that mistake!! Thanks for the tips guys!! Oh and I used maxibloom, koolbloom liquid and then dry and hydrogaurd.

Yeah looks more sativa in that last pic but nothing wrong with that . I reckon close to 7 - 8 oz . That's pretty good for under a 400w . Have u thought of dropping an hour off like 11/13 . Just pull the ak out of the tent for a hour and leave the widow in there . Would definatly speed up those pistills

Freshly dried sativa dominant buds can be heart pounding and racy. Cure it in jars for about 6 or 7 months it will become a lot more chilled out and Stoney. At least that's the way it has worked for me. I crossed Durban poison with white widow once yikes ! Shit was like crack.
