if I made seeds and harvested on x day and all was good, sold them, then my loyal customer base showed me x + 10 more days is even better I'd be hard pressed to keep that knowledge a secret from future customers. Probably would update new pack printing to reflect the information, like @Gu~ did.
I've not had GP gear that didnt finish awesome within the time listed on the pack. Left 10 more days I never was disappointed either just saying...
You are making a HUGE assumption. :roll:

for real, thats exacty what I would do.
a reputable breeder maliciously false advertising here ........
is a less likely truth, maybe an oversight, a mis print, or an update....thats where I would have assumed first.
but hold on.....we'll see when he returns. I'm curious too, but those dates mean less to me than the genetic make up of his gear.

The same thing happened to me with Tomahawk. Web site said 50-60, seed pack said 70-80 days! That's a big fucking difference, but I didn't bitch because it was a freebie.
I just got my bodega bubblegum yesterday. Web page says 50-60 day flower time...

@Gu~ this is a serious problem that borders on false advertising.
This is the THIRD time this has happened that I'm aware of, and I bet there's more.

The Greenpoint web page says it all. This is from the article called "Quality Cannabis Seeds":
---
Established cannabis breeders have a reputation to uphold. If you purchase cannabis seeds from a quality breeder, you’re pretty much guaranteed to have a positive experience. Breeders know their seeds intimately (unlike your bro who found a few extra seeds in his last crop) and can tell you exactly what to expect during the grow cycle — albeit with some variation depending on phenotype — because they literally absorb themselves into learning about them.
I don't mind waiting for extra flowering time. I am used to running Sativa and Sativa hybrids myself.

Wow, freebies would be great! Though...

Professional growers actually give a shit when their plants are supposed to finish. A difference of 20 days is almost 3 full weeks!

Unacceptable.

5/5 (K)Night Riders have sprouted and have hit the dirt at 34 hours since getting wet.

Copper chems a couple weeks in flower and growing fast. Also have 4 California Cannon in veg and just want a couple more days after topping before move to flower tent.

Gonna vape a Purple Mountain Majesty bud ina minute. This is still changing during cure.

who said anything about giving shits? or professionally growing?
besides, those numbers are for his professional room, his controls, habits.
ever grow unknown stock? a clone renamed? geesh..happens all the time. professional growers look at the genetics,
water uptake, trichomes, calyx, pistils, google even sometimes. I bet either date on that pack would produce fire by most accounts, and have indeed, read the reviews
finish is subjective. even here hundreds say amber, some say never, some want some clear some cloudy. those subjective differences/preferences coupled with differing rooms would easily account for another 20 days of the finish, subjectively of course.

Purple Outlaw is another one.
Sticker says 60-70 days, but web page said 50-60. (now out of stock)
The fast flower time is actually one of the reasons I picked this strain... :?

Would you like to ask some professionals? I know a few on RIU.
Hey @Dr. Who -- would it bother you if a run took 3 weeks longer than the breeder said it would?

You compared me to someone who gives no shit, or someone who is growing professionally, and I asked you about that. pro or no pro, harvest time is subjective. ask away
but he likes to run his longer anyways, than many here. so again, its subjective. I've seen him talk about those numbers an pooh them anyways. we all know you got to get to know your girls.
sure thing though, I know some get pissed when their rooms just wont finish properly, or the pack date seems wrong, but I assure you the plant is finished on the first date you saw. grow another 20 days and others will say its even more finished right? =subjective?
misprint? give the gu a chance eh..false advertising is a bad shade here imo

I wonder how many of those five star reviews on the site are from growers who followed the directions on the site, or on the pack?
I had a brownie mix that didnt ever finish quick as the box said but the shit was really good so it didnt matter after the first time I used it.

Another mismatch on Purple Mountain Majesty. Not a big deal, but still conflicting info.
Sticker says 65-80 days, web page says 60-70.
maybe you're on to conspiracy.....hope he clears this up for ya.
honestly....I planted much of his packs and grew them until done, water uptake on all of them slowed
when near finished, trichs solid cloud, I always used the date on the packs to compare and they were spot on so far this year and last. be interesting to hear whats said about this. thanks for looking out....good catch!

You don't get it.
Nobody knows what the pack says until after they bought it.
They bought it based on what the web said -- which is often incorrect when it comes to flower time.
