Buddiestarted grow question 6y ago
If a breeder recommends 59-63 days from seed to harvest, is it better to let it go an extra week or so? It will just give you more of a couchlock feeling?

Hello
Wicked looking buds.
I'd say never go completely off the breeders timeline...unfortunately that's just an estimate and they cant account for all of our different growing environments...especially us outdoor growers. Use the 59-63 as a guide, but let your plants get the majority of their pistils colored and shriveled and then try to get some idea of the trichrome colors, zoom in use flash try at sunset and sunrise if you don't have a loupe.
Me personally I've noticed my plants had a tendency to be ready to harvest two weeks after the breeder recommended...sometimes less and sometimes more.
Your plants look like theyre definitely getting close, but i think i see a bit of white pistils still?
Happy harvesting. ✌️

8 to 10 weeks for most strains, counting from the start of flowering for most strains to ripen to their full potential. Cheers friend

Preflower at 5weeks?Didn’t think this was anything at first but her showing that’s she female (3 other strains show the same without the long white pistils). I’m wondering is she preflowering? If you check my diary for any other info:fox farm soil, outside, 13hrs sun, etc. hope it’s not an auto.Buds. Other

Do I have a hermie? Should I remove this plant from the other 4?I thought all my plants were fine, but this morning I noticed some balls on one of the 5 Blue Gelato. The rest of the plant is covered in pistils, and these balls appear further down the stems, and irregularly. I am fairly sure this plant is a hemaphrodite. Should I remove it?Buds. Other

Remove lower branchesWould it be beneficial to also remove these lower branches? It's my first grow so I'm not sure if this would be useful. I'm in about week 3-4 of flower, but don't know if this would create bigger buds on the main branches. Experienced growers help me out pls xp5y ago
