Just a question i wanted to ask i have been growing for a few years and with many strains, but what i have noticed that 8 weeks is never enough time. I like my nugs to be nice big and dence and my trichs to be cloudy.

For some reason i cannt acheive this when i flower for 8 weeks. Has anyone elsed this? how long do you guys flower?

Im not sure I harvest one a week, never looked at the time, always watch pistils, then Trichs, and I like them Nice and Cloudy.

I usually wait til the trich's are a milky color the start decreasing the nutes all together.a week later there amber and ready to go.sometimes it takes 9 or 10 weeks depending on the strain.peace

I usually flower for 8-10 weeks depending on the strain of bud. Then again I like my trichs to be amber/cloudy so I can get a mix of both highs. But, really those flowering times that they list with the seeds aren't really exact it seems. Each flowering time varies with each strain and grow set-up.

I will when my babies are ready to be harvested (just started a harvest of Jack Herer and Bubbelgum. I am about 3 weeks in, so no bud-porn for you yet.
