How many more days till harvest?

I read somewhere about an experiment with the time schedule of plants. The guys left the light on for 12 hours but only turned it off for 6 hrs. The plants still budded normally but finished in less time.

I actually was asking a question Let me rephrase it. On average how long does it take a plant to flower ? I see some pictures that say things like day 60 or day 50 and it confuses me because i dont know if there talking about day 60 of the entire grow or just day 60 of flowering. You understand bro? I Guess im really just wondering How long does it take a (SEED) to grow all the way to harvest?

now i see what your saying. that varies from strain to strain. Typically Sativa Strains take much longer then indica strains. There THC highs are different. It solely depends on what strain your growing. That will pretty much determine when your harvest will be. If you grow bag seeds, the best you can do is estimate and atleast guess what type of strain it is Indica or Sativa. that can give you a ballpark number atleast. If your looking at faster harvest, go for indica strains only. I will be going for the indica strains in the future.

hey, the growfaq is your best friend Peace!!!

Gave her second straight water flush, got lazy again. So I said fuck it. I just give my babies straight hawaiian water. I think it's going to be an early harvest for me. I was actually planning to harvest on 6/6 but looks like its going to be on 6/4. Two days earlier. I know not much to some people, but to me that's like forever. I've been waiting so paitiently for my baby to mature.

Some of my stems are bending a lot now. I'll take some update pics in a couple days from now.

good luck brotha!!! hope it'll get you smoked like shit . btw i've started a real grow journal not "gettin prepared" thread (sory for the commercial) Cheers!!! Peace!!! Cheetah

Day 61 of flowering. The colas are gettting fatttt. there leaning everywhere. There are some pics where the cola was straight, but its leaning to the left. But as you can see on couple pics to show how big the clones #1 cola is getting, it can almost hide the radio shack magnifiy loop. Also the trichs are milky everywhere, and some places thy are getting amber. I am getting so ichy on harvesting these girlies, but I want a more Narcotic High. well here are the pics.

very close man, very close

This is what I do. I Flush them really good and then right after the flush give them molasses with water. I do this at least 3 times before harvesting, so a period of 10-14 days.

how much molases do you use? and what exactly are the benefits?

2k did you cut off your fan leaves accidentally? or did the bud just take over?

Hi I can only tell what I know and it works well so I am told LOL
Feed once a week 3/4 of recomended dose. Then just water with clean water inbetween (distilled water check ph if low add 1 qt spring or rain water so 3 qt distilled 1 qt spring or rain. Ph should be good) you can lift the cantainer up and if it is dry it will be very light. Wet soil heavy. You can start to know when to water by feeling the cantainer. Hope this helps.

Four 4x8 trays 16.5 pounds ,Not bad.

I use 1.5 teapsoons per half gallon of water. warm up water really fast in the micro like 10 seconds kind. mix in the molasses then mix in the rest of the water with the water/molasses solution. the benefits, i think vary from strain to strain depending on what your growing. for the most part, if done right I only heard that they put on weight. for personal experience, they have more growth, weight, and thc. so I highly reccomend using molasses in the flowering stages of your grow. good luck.

No I didn't cut off my leaves, they fell off. Why is something wrong? I wish the bud took over, but theres pretty much only bud, and little leaves. I think I wont be spending a whole lot of time manicuring my shit cause I dont have anything really to.

No thats normal I was just making sure you didn't cut or pull them off. Other than that it looks great good luck man. ANd I will try the molasses on this next harvest

Chopping tomorrow morning what do you guys think?

i think it's the right time dude! will you give them 24 hours dark period? have you stop watering them in the last few days? Cheers!!! it was a good grow man!!!!! Cheetah

Yup, I thought so too. I needed some assurance, that I wasn't doing it to soon. I don't have time for the 24 hour period, but I gave the ladies a longer dark period then usual for a wopping 16 hours( normal is 12, lol, duh ) but that was the soonest I could turn off the lights. I was debating on doing the 24 but, was persuaded on the side that it doesn't do anything anyway. I'll save it for the next harvest. And the last time I watered my ladies, was about a week. It was major flushing thats so there was a good amount of water in the soil. It's harvest time in 11 hours and counting Thanks, man but I can't compare to your 250W grow (fucken monster), I have a 400W. But thanks for the complement!!!!....
