I am growing a clone from a mother that I have grown before. I harvested the first time on day 58 after flip. The results were good, not too racy, not too much couch lock. This time I’m on day 46, and she looks done. Rather than recreate my post, I’ll link it:
I have added several supplements this grow over the last, but she simply cannot be ready in 46 days, can she?
I checked them out.
I have had a couple do that too. The trichs turn cloudy but the buds are still growing new flowers and you still see white pistils showing up. You should keep waiting till they stop putting new flowers in the buds.
Ripeness needs two things…All brown pistils and cloudy trichomes with a little amber to your liking.
I have seen plants with cloudy trichs very early…you just have to keep waiting.
Good news is they will bulk up even more.
I may be wrong, but I think there is some minor fox-tailing going on. I’m due to lower my DLI this week. I’ll just stay with my plan for now. One more feeding, then Winter Frost, then a week of water. I’ll plan to harvest on 4/2 or 4/3, instead of 4/9 or 4/10.
Pull a small sample …and Yes they can finish faster/slower that the last run, based on differing environmentals: VPD, Far Red, UV, DLI, PPM.
Most articles on Far Red, indicate a faster finish time due to the manipulation of the phytochromes and Photo-cycle. UV to stimulate Trichome production and ripening. etc
Surely not newt you wouldnt think that a product could make it finished earlier ,then again i have seen produces that have said help buds mature quicker
I have read that some products do, but never bought into that. But everything has changed since last grow. New light, additional nutrients, additional supplements, etc.
Just confuses me. (Which isn’t all that hard to do)
Take a sample, look at it good under the scope, smoke it up… That wont lie or try to sell you another supplement.
Look at the MSDS on that winter frost, appears to be basically MKP liquid.
It’s possible it could be ready. My aliens were tech justly finished at 7 weeks and they seem mostly sativa. That’s $ weeks from actual flower. 9 weeks from flip.
