This is now day 4 of week 11 . Breeder says 9 weeks , i added 2 more weeks , the problem is that i still have white pistils (plenty in one of the genetics few in the other) on day 74 after flip and most thricomes are clear few milky and 0 amber . I also tested for potency and pontecy is 0 . What is going wrong with my grow !?


This is the aspect from 3 days ago , still almost the same aspect, of the 2 genetics :


White widow

What is making them take so long , also worthy mentioning the white widow is bigger and getting more then 1000ppfd , while the lsd is getting the correct amount of ppfd , about 900 . But both dont get me high at this current stage :(

Well, breeder's estimates can't be trusted. They just want to quote a short flowering time so you are more likely to buy their product. Hang in there, you have a few weeks left, but you will end up with nice potent medicine-BUT for that to happen, you really need to wait until it's ripe. Harvesting underripe weed is a terrible waste of time, money, and effort.

Thank you and hope so , but isnt it weird that is gonna take at least 1 month or more from breeders estimate time , i might be doing something wrong , also is it possible that a plant reaches its full peak of matury without developing enough milky thricomes to get u high ?=

These are the types of relentless post about the same thing that really make me hate coming to RIU.

This tool is rated as a "well known member" simply based on the sheer number of posts about the same shit.

Keeps making new threads when he/she/them/whatever your fucking pronoun is doesn't hear the answer they want.

Do more searching and reading instead of adding more bullshit for everyone else to wade through.

/end rant

isnt it weird that is gonna take at least 5 weeks or more from breeders estimate time , i might be doing something wrong , also is it possible that a plant reaches its full peak of matury without developing enough milky thricomes to get u high ?=

Well I'd say.
Never start your flower count on the day you flip to 12/12, wait till you see preflowers and call that day/week 1 (usually a week or 2 after flip)
Never trust breeders advertised times, they're likely the time of their fastest pheno grown in optimal conditions and without a clone of that pheno you ain't matching their times.
Never bank on a harvest date. Always give yourself some wiggle room to avoid disappointment, cutting early, or running outta bud.
And patience, patience, patience

Most of my normal strains go 80 85 days. Sorry if that hurts

Just grow the damn plant until it's finished. Ignore breeder times. They flat out lie about it to sell seeds because people want the fastest finishing strains they can get. If they tell you it's going to take 8 weeks you buy the seeds. If they're honest and tell you it's going to take 12 weeks then you'll buy from some other breeder that's lying and claiming theirs takes 8 weeks.

If you haven't figured it out already the cannabis industry is full of liars that will say anything to make a sale.

Put the damn scope down and check again in 2 weeks. Looking at trichomes every hour isn't going to make the plant finish any faster.

Take some zoomed out pictures, and for the guys that say to start counting from some random day when you think you see the first flower please go jump off a bridge. That’s the dumbest practice ever, it’s not consistent at all, when you already clearly have a set date (the flip) to count from. And I don’t know where you guys buy your seeds or clones or wtf your doing but I’ve rarely needed to take a plant past 70 days, I shoot for 63 days. Granted I don’t order long flowering sativas, my packs usually say 8-9 weeks and at most it takes 9-10 weeks.

we are all impatient to harvest our first couple of grows as i am but still need to wait until you are sure it is ready... just take 1-2 sample a week and try it to see. and watch trichomes every other days and youll see come to an end someday.
