So about 6 months ago I did something really stupid. I got my good seeds mixed up with some crappy bagseeds and had to grow them all out because it was all i had and i didnt want to order more.
So I grow them out, save the females, take some clones to hang on to, and flower them. Out of the 8 plants I had, five were my good White Widow seeds, and three of them had a lot of sative in em. Two of the sativas I reconized as my Northern Lights x some unknown sativa that finished in about 12 weeks. A long time for sure, but worth it imo.
This other one though must be some of the unknown bagseed because Its on day 94, thats right, 94, and its still producing NEW pistils. On day 94! The weirdest part to me is that parts of some buds are clearly done, but then right next to them they have new pure white pisitls just starting to appear in that very sativa like fashion. It looks like it would just continue to bud for as long as i let it. Very few fans leaves have started to yellow, and new bud "shoots" are still growing.
I had to chop some of the bud because it was growing into my wall and light, and I just didnt have the room, but when I checked the trichs they looked about 95% couldy with 5% amber. The smoke was actually pretty good for being uncured. Im not really complaining because the buds on this lady are getting HUGE and make for nice smoke, but I need the room for plants that will flower in half the time now that I have good clones of my good seeds.
I have never grown pure sativas before, but i was under the impression that 14 weeks was about the max for any strain. I thought I had heard somewhere that some strains will go a lot longer if they aren't pruned properly, but I couldnt find a source for that so I dunno if my brain just made it up or what.
Anyone else experience anything like this? Should I try to trim the new bud shoots or what? Maybe Im doing something thats prolonging their growth, but I cant figure out what, and my White Widow that is in the same room seems to be growing as fast as it usually does (the 5 week old WW looks like it will finish before the 13 week old sativa).
Ill try to get a pic up later if I can, but my camera is MIA at the moment.
Im just real confused, any help would be awesome!
