Never Ending Sativas

Hello all, quick question. I have some sativas(ice) that have under 12/12 for about 10 weeks. They are all heavy and sticky, even the lower buds. The hairs have'nt really shown any color change, about 75/25, white to orange. The trics seem to be showing little progresssion to amber. They have been stuck in this state for atleast 2 weeks. I should also note that the tops have become so heavy they are leaning, the sides that are in more direct light have had an explosion of hair growth, I mean there is 80% more hair on the sides in the direct light.

Thanks

I'm not familiar with Ice or what strain(s) its been crossed with, but it sound like you might have late finishing genetics. My neighbor last yr had a random bag seed that took about 13 weeks to flower fully till he was ready to cut her down.

I have two Tangerine Dreams that are now at day 100 (Barney's Farms says 70 days LOL). One of them might be done at 102, but the other one looks like it will be way past 120 days (17 weeks haha). But it is totally frosted and smells like tangerines lots of pistils; mostly white a little orange (about 10%). The trichomes are still clear on that one (the 102 day one is starting to get cloudy). They were both very slow flowering phenotypes; I'm guessing they lean towards Neville's Haze flowering time.

My blueberry sativa from sannies takes 100+ days to get a little amber.

Don't cut her down till you see the brown.

I chopped a critical haze branch early 65 days had me racing around the house! Now it's at 77 still clear ...

I am on my last 2 tangering dream seeds. I will never grow this worthless attain again. The genetics for it are so bad. They need to try and bread this again. What ever barnys farm realeased is not the strain that won the can cup in 2010.

Coming up on harvest for 2 Super Lemon Haze, we're at 13+ weeks of 12/12 + 4 weeks veg. Breeder suggests 10-12 weeks.

Sativas, love to smoke but fuck growing them from now on. I need some quick wins from now on.

Clearly 'vertical growing' is the best forum for this post...

If you guys are fans of sativas you should check out the Cinderella 99 "C99" if you haven't heard of her yet. sativa dominant with only a 7-8 week flowering time. Check her out.

Dude not to be a dick but that lovely girl has been in the cycle since '05 ... C99 was released in '99 .. Old news...
Now the a-13bx by tga...!! That shit is a stark improvement on the og a-13 for sure worth a look for the sativa lover..

I like this forum, he solved my many problems, thank you

can we see sum pictures!!!!

I know these are sativas and they gain a lot of height during flowering but you have to veg longer than 4 weeks, that is why that stinky bitch is taking so long because it wasn't ready, Sativas produce less chlorophyll with those skinny leaves than indacas do with those fat ones, which is the main reason for the long grow, not just the flower season but the veg season too. Look at where Sativas originate from, South America, Africa... hotter than hot places with long grow seasons and shorter winters. Sativas also grow differently from leaf shape to the lengthy vine-y appearance. Its unique grow characteristics such as physiology and life cycle are all unique to its genes which have adapted to its environment from the beginning..... If you don't let them mature before you flower than they will take longer than expected.

Its widely suggested, a general rule to follow, you should take the plants to a minimum of 60 days of vegetative growth before the plant will respond appropriately to shortened light period.

or you could just grow a sativa dom auto like super sativa from big buddah or auto assassin from short stuff. Either can give you 2 oz of pretty heady sativa bud in 60-70 days ... from seed.

Right, you're right, you could get some genetic masterpiece that has been engineered to do that, definately. Of course those genetics it gets are from breeding with in some indica and the refining it right? My comments were geared towards how sativas are meant to be grown. Also I've read several posts here and in other forums about being upset with the quality of seeds that they had gotten, maybe some of these genetics are just not melding and are just unpredictable.

or actually it would of been bred with the ruderalis for the auto quality huh?

*auto gene

Whatever it was bred with the quality is there and the smoke is on par with most sativa dom photoperiods that take way longer to finish and are notoriously difficult to grow well inside. I couldn't find the pics of my auto-assasin grows, the super sativa from big buddah pictured above. Gave 2 oz in 68 days from seed.

She looks good. Didn't know they made good auto sativa's. Kinda been outa the loop on auto's since my first time with them.
