A customer has a question and I hope we can get some opinions on it, thanks.
Are the flowering times on your seeds from the time of 12/12 or when pistols first start to show? Curious, and that insight would help gauge timing, 'cause usually, when you begin the 12/12 is when you start counting. So is that “flower time” possibly for an earlier buzzy harvest? I read prime or mid ripening for this strain is more in the 50-60 day range assuming you don’t have any variables off.
Depends on what kinda seeds you get, like autos don’t really care but have light cycles they do prefer.
When pistils start to show is when you start to count. The first week or 2 is the transition to flowering stage.
The only way to truly harvest at the correct time is by evaluating the trichomes.
The times that the seed banks give is a rough estimate. So many factors go into when a plant is ready for harvest.

Really, you need to invest in a cheap magnifier that will allow you to evaluate the trichomes. That is the only objective means to determine harvest. The only advice I can give is, don’t be in a hurry.
