"Is it done yet?" - Big Bang Auto

This is a Big Bang Auto which cracked the soil on the 10th of November, and it seems like it is still not done.. I am growing with nutes - time releasing capsules, and some organic nutes in liquid form for flowering and also vegetative growth.

This strain should have been finished a very long time ago, and I simply don't understand how come it isn't done yet.

Can you pros out there have a look at my plant, and tell me approximately when you think it will be done?

I am waiting for my x30 glass to arrive so I can check the trichs.

Thanks a bunch!

That doesn't look ready just by the look of the pistils, they should start pulling back in as it gets close to maturity, not still all fluffy and white. Also looks like you have some issues due to the leaves curling/clawing and the burnt tips..I'm horrible with diagnosing plant issues so hopefully someone else will chime in...I'm guessing over watering, lets see if I'm close.

I ran one of these a couple years ago, it was a freebie with an order..i remember it went alot longer than it was supposed to. i think i went an extra 3 weeks and still wasn't what i would have considered ripe when i cut it. The time release pellets might be giving you an issue, some people thought it may have been my soil that was very high in N slowing down the flowering, I flushed the crap out of it and that seemed to speed it up a little, but that could also have been because it was in its last couple weeks anyway, still turned out ok, not a great yield but really good taste and high. The one i grew had the exact same leaf/bud structure, really thin leaves,maybe there is a more sativa dominant pheno that takes a little longer? Remember, the breeders times/yields are usually based on the quickest/highest yielding plants, avg times/yeilds are usually longer and lower, I've always added at least a week onto breeders quoted times.

Funny you say it, this pheno I have right here looks WAY more like a sativa-dominant breed. I have another Big Bang, and it is only half the height of this exact Big Bang. I had a Blueberry Auto which I harvested quite early, as I did an experiment with those time-releasing capsules. I broke them up, and took my hand in the ground and mixed the earth and pulver from the capsule, and I had a Blueberry Auto ready in just 50 days! This plant was supposed to be done ~21 days ago, but I suppose it's just due to being the pheno that takes longer time.

It's only the fan leaves that are beginning to fall off, and it's quiet normal considering her age, I suppose. I did overwater my plants once, but it seems like that issue has been fixed now ;).

Thanks a lot for the feedback.
