My Flowering Critical Jack-7 weeks. How Much Longer??

Hello all. I'm currently growing Critical Jack and she's been on 12/12 for 7 weeks today. Just wondering if anyone had experience with this strain and could tell me how long yours went? The buds are noticeably larger each day. She smells great but I'm thinking the breeder was off by a few weeks when they said 8 weeks. As always, constructive criticism will be heeded. Thank you for your input all.

She's still got a little while to go. I don't count my flowering time from the moment I switch to 12/12. I start counting after the stretch. So figuring a 2-week stretch period, she's 5 weeks in to flowering. Another 3 weeks looks about right. Maybe 4

That's what I thought, keep track of weeks after you see the first hairs. It's frostiness started showing after roughly 5 weeks from switch.

Yup , she still got a lil while to go till your enjoying the fruits of your labor. Plus now is when then buds are going to pack on the weight , it will be well worth it. Looking good Good Luck!

Give her 9wks at least, she should be good

Thanks guys!

can we see a macro of a cola?

Sorry, that's the best I can get with my phone. I just added my LED light. Now I've got 1300w in my 4x4 tent. I've got a few hundred more but not adding yet.

aight cuz..plants look good. nice space. now you got full spectrum of the sun.

wish i could see a closeup of the pistils and trichs. your camera looks good it could get a good photo if you focused on a cola theyre like the size of bananas. with that much light you can get corn stalk sized harvests

edit: oh wait is that a 200 watt bulb? if so then you got a good yield coming nice work

look what my boys auto put out..he was hydro feeding though http://forum.grasscity.com/indoor-grow-journals/1138478-auto-bubble-auto-jack-herer-250w-grow-5.html#post17019813

and then some random guys tangereine dream. its truly incredible, hydro fed too. hes noticing that shes now finally after all those nutes. this will be one of the biggest one plant harvests EVER haha

Here's some bud shots.....

they look quality man. hes a sativa for sure airy and light.

hopefully these guys can tell you if they will swell more. i know the pistils and need to turn a little bit, start checking then. keep your loupe handy

It's not airy/light. The buds are getting harder light rocks are in them.

Sweet , worth the time and work, stress, and money..

I just finished mine and cut at 8 - 9 weeks. Looked exactly like yours and the pistils matured really quickly all of the sudden. It was a pleasure to grow and easy to trim... yet to smoke it yet but I can't wait! Enjoy it!!

Thanks dellamore! Yeah, I've noticed three pistils have started the get a faint brown color. Glad to know I should be close. I can only hope it's the same pheno as yours. It gas been very easy to grow and very tolerant of my novice skills. She smells more amazing each day. Right now it has a lemon/lime aroma with an overpowering skunk on the front end. Let me know how the smoke/high is! Thanks again.......

Here's a picture of mine right when I started trimming it. I agree there is a very strong lemon smell that gets more potent as you cure. It definitely sounds like we have the same pheno. I've been curing it for 2 weeks now and the high was really nice. Sativa feeling first then the indica starts to creep in. I think I need another week or so to get that perfect cure but so far I think its a keeper!

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Looks nice! Mine just doesn't have anywhere near that many leaves. How long did you veg?

wow! i see you said you just started to trim. are the veg leaves all trimmed, or are the buds are really just that swollen!?

Those plants aren't close to being ready > none of those pictures
All the hairs will be red and receding into calyx
The Calyx will be swollen like they are going to burst
All those leaves with no Trichome will be completely yellow like about to fall off
Then those plants will be ready > regardless of how many weeks they take

The OP should wait 5 weeks from when those pictures were taken > give or take 5 days

If you harvest when they look like those pictures > you will lose half the weight they would've produced
