13 weeks into flowering still not ripe
My bagseed plants are now in week 13 of flowering under my 12/12 400HPS lights. I have very large buds that have loads of red hairs and loads of white hairs. The trics are clear and cloudy but almost no amber.
I've viewed what a ripe bud should look like and my buds just don't look ripe yet.
Some buds have lots of crystals. All the buds are really big.
I've been sampling and curing buds for 4 weeks and the weed is really good but...
Why won't they get that ripe look?
The hairs should have receded back into the calyxes but instead their bright white and actually looks like new growth.
I changed to just water and molasses on my soil grow at 8 weeks and then went back to feeding at 10 weeks when I realized I was still seeing growth. Been on water and molasses the last 2 weeks.I'm thinking of changing the lighting to 11 hours of daylight to simulate falls shorter days.
I'm thinking the plants are a sativa mix but with bagseed you just don't know.
Any advice?

These plants were grown from bagweed seeds and some seeds I had laying around for years and are in the 13 week of flowering.
This is my first grow and I am determined not to crop early out of impatience.
I'm thinking they are a Sativa strain and there for may take a little longer.
I just don't want to wait too long, but with that being said I still have not seen that RIPE look yet.
I have clear to cloudy trics.
Out of desperation I've switched from 12/12 lighting to 11/13 with the hope this would simulate the shorter days of fall.
Any suggestions would be glady taken into consideration.

Wow .. 'lotta yellow leaves/dying leaves // I'd say get rid of all leaves with 50% damage for starters .. maybe the water and Mollasses at 8 weeks caused some of the yellowing ?
Those buds look HUGE .. seems to be a lot of white hairs .. indicating new growth .. I have to defer to experts like fdd to say any more
I don't think it would hurt to cut the light hours even further.. maybe to ten or 9 for a day or two
u gving it some P and K ? maybe just a little N to stop some of the yellowing
Yeah it does look pretty Sativa-ish which could be a while longer .. up to 18 weeks
Are part of those hairs red and curled in ?

Yes, a lot of the hairs are red and curled up but not receded back into the calyxes.
So are you saying I should just switch to about 9 or 10 hours but just switch for a few days and then go back to 12/12?
I think the leaves have gone so yellow because of the flush water and molasses feedings.
If it seems the plant could actually go on for 18 weeks maybe I should go back to feeding Fox farms Big Bloom?
I appreciate any input.
Thanks
