46th parallel north not flowering yet?

My plants are starting showing some pre-flowers, strain is Bangi haze from ACE seeds. It should be okay for rainy, foggy and cold weather. However, flowering is 9-10 weeks, so they should be ready in november! Isn't that too late? Sometimes we have snow in november. Right now daylenght is 13 hours 30 minutes, by first november it will be 10 hours and 10 minutes.
Anyone with experience at the same lattitude?

If they have already stretched and are showing more pistils then before then it is officially flowering. I'm at the 46 and tho I don't like to...I do grow some 10 week strains. They are usually done by the second week of oct.
Once you see little budlets like this appear it will all move fast.

I am at 43N parallel and have been exploding over the last 10 days, minus the last couple that have been stormy. I would think you are very close to some quick paced, explosive growth. I just went under 13.5 hrs of sunlight this past Saturday, to give you an idea of sun here. My current state:

Another thought. I am anticipating to harvest in November, regardless of frost/snow. I will use my tomatoes to judge how frost/snow will impact the girls. I will protect as warranted to make sure I give nature the most time possible. But I am targeting first week of November to chop, unless the scope shows me ripeness earlier.

I'm at 46 and have some light dep to jumpstart the process. Nov is pushing it, IMO. But your strain might weather the weather better than mine have? I'm strictly in containers now so I can bring them in if need be.

I'm at the 49th. 2 of my photoperiods are well on their way , but I have a late bloomer on my hands too. Preflowered months ago and just started to bud this week. No way I can go to November, rainy season is on the way.

My birthday is November 30 and I have golfed multiple times that late in SE Wisconsin. There are ways to protect plants from the elements if needed. Of course, bitter Canadian air hitting the 20s would force my hand, but that would be extreme here, with the impact the warmer water of Lake Michigan would have on any sort of Alberta Clipper that could strike that time of year.

If anyone is growing into November then they should be reconsidering the strains you are growing. The average 8-10 week strain (which are many) will be harvested between the end of September to the middle of oct. I've never had to go past the second week of oct.
Anything past that point you risk losing it.

I hate to say it, but your not gonna make it. Do you have the option to tent it, tarp it. I am guessing your average freeze is September 21?

I hope I learn this in my first grow. I am so new at this that I have no clue. However, I reviewed my grow pics, and it has been 10 days since I first saw pistils start to cluster to the growth I have today. That is extremely quick, so if I am at 3-4 weeks of flowering, as I believe I am (7/27), you are absolutely correct and I will be late October. I have been so cautious about timing that I have been on the conservative side of calculating, always!

lol you need the realize that they grow super fast the last 4 to 5 weeks.
Would you like to check out my last grow journal with a 10 week strain? You can look at the dates and see that from now til the end of Sept they explode and turn into donkey dock colas.

Bangi haze is pushing it southern ontario. I have a malawi panama from ace and it is starting to preflower in guelph. It needs to get to nov 14 i think.

The white rhinos are preflowering and stacking buds. But 80 20 indica flowers a shorter time.

Next time i will run ace seeds in the tent where it can take its time

Last year i got to nov 20 and had to chop 2 late autos. Global warming aint all bad.

I would say that I am at this stage now, so they're barely starting flowering. 8-10 weeks from today would be 1st of november or 14th november. I just hope temperatures will be okay and not freezing or snowing. If it's true what they say about this strain on ACE seeds website, fog and rain should not make problems.

I'm at 46.6812° and it's common here, especially in low lying areas to get severe frosts anytime after the third week of September.

I promise you do not start counting from the time they are like that. When they have noticeable clusters they are in the 3 to 4 week stage of flowering already.
Growweedeasy.com has a stages of bud development in weeks you can google.

As long as yours isn't a 11 or more week
Strain, I promise they will be done before mid October.

That should be great! It's sativa, so I will chop based on weather anyway.
Thanks for information, guys! And girl!

i dont know about your weather but im at 51st your plants look about where my plants are and im expecting to finish around oct 31-nov 14. i might have snow or it might be nice if it says its going to be -5 or more i cover my girls but i grow mostly more indica dominant strains knowing my weather. i have gotten up and seen my girls covered in snow and said well today i got to cover or build a temp greenhouse around them. weather fears all depend on strain and what you are willing to do to protect them if needed

Took me a few seasons to find a plant that triggered on time. Years of covering plants with plastic or half finished guerilla bud. At your lattitude you want that weed to be 80% finished by beginning to mid september. Now if youre in a backyard you need to cover that plant and keep it dry with maximum airflow. The mold always gets them first, they can handle cold

I'm at parallel 48 and the Early Caramelo will be ready in less than a week and no problem to keep it in veg.
