Flowering times
Louderstarted grow question 3y ago
Breeders will often print flowering times on their strains but what does it mean? When they say "8-9 weeks or 56-63 days" what are they talking about? Is it the time measured from the day you flip to 12/12 or do they mean the time from when pistils start to show? Opinions needed.

I think its from when they show pistils. So usually I add an extra 7 to 10 days on the breeders time frame because that's usually how long after 12/12 my plants start throwing out pistils.

From the day you flip . But that is just a guide in optimal conditions. Most plants will usually take a bit longer .

Yes you have it correct it pretty much means you count from the day You started your 12/12 light cycle but also you can determine it from the tricomes sometimes plants need a little bit more time than it actually says hope this helps bud good luck they look good.

Enough early flower stretch? Please helpDoes she look ok? I always get these short squatty plants with almost no node spacing and my yields end up being way less than they should be. I don't get the stretch I need. I've figured its too much light so now with just 1 light does she look like she should?Week 4

Ready to chop?Is this ready to chop down? Seems ready to me but I have no experience. Trichomes are white and and some are amber but pistils are not all curled (in fact some new ones appeared recenttly). The breeder says 56-63 days seed to weed, it is now on day 64.Buds. Other

Getting better yields from small plantsShe's well into flower but in my opinion, she's too short for it. What can I do to make the flowering process go as well as possible considering her short 15cm stature?
The side nodes are barely 5cm tall and are already flowering. With no new leaves growing it might get rough.2y ago

When Will the Trichomes be Ready for Couch Lock?I am hoping to achieve the really nice couch lock anti anxiety effects of OG Kush. Ive read for the more narcotic effect the trichomes should be more amber. Ive got 2 OG Kush phenotypes flowering, 7 weeks. Can anyone tell me how much longer I have left until harvest? Thank you 🙏5y ago

When to flush using pistilsThis is my first grow and I don’t have the much equipment. With that being said I feel like I’m close to harvest and I want to flush before. I don’t have a magnifier I look at the Trichomes so I want to go off the pistils . How much of the bud should have colored pistils?Buds. Other
