Dunno why... You sure they all are the same strain? Are they bag seed?

yes of course you should wait! (unless you dont mind throwing away the money you spent on power, soil, and nutrients.)
some strains can finish in about 6 weeks while others take 11+ weeks !!
Keep it growing my man

All I am growing is bag seed, I got some great shit and thought they were all the same
and I got a odd loooking fucker in my first DWC hydro and I thought it was hermi but it just looks diffrent the way the leaves come out
and the whole damn thing but I waited and it looks soo tasty. So even if you think its all the same weed, in bag seed you never know what your getting.

Same goes for my ones that didnt show till later 2 of the 4 waited later to show any trichs. Now Im about sure they arent the same strain all sexy the same.
ALWAYS WAIT. If you make it to flower no sinces aborting them then.

Happy growin Bro

Some plants just don't produce lots of trichomes..........if ideal conditions are met but a plant produces undesired buds blame it on genetics.....can't stress it enough good genetics are key.

Yeah Molasses helps a good deal, but dank is bunk on that one.

Dank is in the genes there Bud, not the sugars.

I use it to last week of harvest 1 tablespoon per gal once a week.
blackstrap is best, grandmaws also works well too.

Yeah, I was pretty sure blackstrap is unsulfured tho, there are a few kinds
sulfured, un, blackstrap, and 2 others I cant remember or find that molasses thread or I would post it.... It was everything to know about molasses, ill try again to find it.
