Behind for 7 weeks of flower?

I've looked through my 30x scope and probably 80% cloudy, 10% clear and 10% amber. But the buds don't really look right to me. Just seems behind for a plant that will be at 8 weeks on 5/30. The plant isn't really dusted either, but I'm not sure if it's the strain as it's bagseed.

Given it's size though I wouldn't be suprised if it's sativa dominant. Which would put it at about 3-5 weeks to finish. Hairs were starting to turn orange but after dosing it with Gravity for a week, a lot of new bud growth occurred. Buds are starting to get harder though when lightly squeezed.

This is my first go with hydro (5gal bucket, 2x 6" airstones, 2x wal-mart pumps). It has had some issues with nitrogen toxicity and nute burn, some pH issues for a week or so. Also a few days here and there where she's was neglected for a little bit, but for the most part she seems to handle it well.

Used a 600W MH Conversion bulb for veg, which was roughly 4 weeks. Then switched to 600W HPS for 12/12.

I keep the lights pretty close (8-12") because I've got a vented hood and run the fan at full speed when the lights are on. Does a very good job keeping things cool.

What do you guys think, 2-4 more weeks?

the buds on my plant look exactly like yours. ive had several people look at it and i have at least 1 month more of flowering so i would guess 3-4 more weeks for you as well.

Just won't stop with new bud growth. Still lots of new hairs, really starting to fatten up now. Still not a lot of dusting like I see on other people's plants but by this point I don't think it's going to happen. Still 2-3 weeks I guess?

57 Days or 8 Weeks and 1 Day.

That's gonna be a nice one if you continue to hang in there an let her do her thing. Leaves suggest some type of Sativa for sure. Most I see are hybrid so who knows...You have weeks to go still bro. She is gonna fatten up really nice. I'm subscribing.

:joint:

Good lord, I don't think this lady is ever going to finish up! So now we're at 64 Days, or 9 Weeks and 1 Day. Hairs are still almost entirely white. Still some clear trichs and some amber but mostly cloudy. Hard to really judge with my shitty scope.

Keep her going bro. You've got a big girl there. Comparing her to historical flower times may have to be thrown out the window. Until those hairs change colors and your leave tips start curling up...you still have time brotha'.

I'm having dreams about this plant now, lol. I'm going to wait her out until she lets me know she's done. Just very difficult to sit and look at it with no timeframe in mind. I don't even know when to start flushing her.

Plus I don't know how much more weight these branches can hold. Really starting to get weighed down now, branches sagging even with support!

Started flushing with Clearex today. Figure I'll run it for 2-4 days and give her the chop. Saturday (6/20) will be 11 weeks, so chopping it a few days ahead of that. There appears to be no new growth, but 80% of the hairs are still white and seems like most if not all trichs are cloudy.

Cut a few samples from various locations and it's getting me high. Not stuck on the couch high, but pretty high. I seem to remember my last grow doing the same thing though, and after I dried it and cured it it was a lot stronger.

I simply can't wait any longer as the other day when watering it, the main stem was almost at a 90 angle. Stem didn't snap but it can't support itself now without something holding it up from the ceiling. On top of that, I believe seeds are starting to form, ugh! Doesn't look like swollen caylxes, looks like tiny seeds.

Will put up some pics when I go to chop her.

Dam fine earb lies ahead, just when you think they are ready, go another week he he. it will be worth it.

The best comes to those who wait.

Flushed it for a day and then went back to nutes. Cleaning out the rootzone seems to have helped my pH swings dramatically.

Don't have a camera ATM, but intend to get some pics in the next few days. This saturday will be 12 weeks. I think it's on it's way to finishing up. Buds don't appear to have added much more size, but it's hard to tell really without updated pics.

I've chopped a few branches and they're curing. Sampled some dried, uncured and it's more energetic high and it's not really what I'm looking for so I'm continuing to wait on this bitch to finish :D.
