Blue Dream 55 days flowering, buds didn't fatten up

[DaRkTemplar]

Hi,
My plant in on 55th day, she is very healthy but buds are not seem to fatten up properly. I'm hydro grower, I'm planning to harvest in 2-3 weeks. Should i wait a bit more to buds fatten up? Thanks

I had a blue sherbet that grew a bit like yours looks very small frosty buds, was my first time in coco i dont know what went wrong with them

Your BD looks like different structure than the BD cut I have. Also, yours looks frostier. The cut I have is at peak ripeness for harvest somewhere between 11 and 13 weeks (77 to 91 days).

You're nowhere near harvest, no need to count down weeks.

If you take another 1/2 or 1 hour of daily light it will stimulate the flowering.
I begin at 11.5 light/12.5 off and drop an hour every few weeks often ending at 9.5 or 10 hours of light daily. Flowers keep developing all the way through-
It works for me-

I will definitely be giving this method a try on this pheno run round

55 days isn't long into flower. Dont chop too early.

Reducing light just slows photosynthesis. Just as bad as stopping feeding so the leaves yellow prematurely

So u advise against it?

Discontinuing feeding or daylight just to harvest faster is a backwards way of growing.
No amount of deficiencies will equal letting the plant finish on its own

I get solid- very well developed bud using this method-every time.
To each his own-
It is also discussed extensively in the handbook- getting very specific about what is happening.
And those huge colas you are seeing were harvested at 10 weeks - the others in this group finished between 8-10 weeks-
Each time the plant senses less daily light it stimulates the development- similar to how it was stimulated into flower by lowering the light from 18 or 24 to 12.
This is my suggestion for the OP-
Do your own thing and be happy-

man im on my first grow and my grow is going just like yours is i have super super frosty buds on a plant that i have growing but the buds look super small and ive also been flowering for like 50ish days i hope this plant atleast gives me 20 grams of dry nug

And do not stop feeding- I feed twice daily- growing in coco perlite mix- 3 gal fabric pots that I toss after each grow and use new bags

I got 25 ounces off the big cola plant- not including trim- just buds

Boatguy is wrong. Think about what happens in nature. Hours of daylight çhange through out the seasons. At@ 14hrs of Daylight they start to flower and the daylight hrs drop from there. You can end up with 10 hrs Daylight if you choose to try this, and be fine. Dr. Bruce Bugbee from Utah university says there is no evidence that extended darkness before harvest does anything good. So don't waste time doing that. Maybe 24_48 hours of daylight before harvest is something else to try. Oops off on a tangent. Sorry I think that Bugbee stuff is for another thread. There is no way cutting daylight hrs is as harmful as cutting nutes... Imo...

25 OZ'S omegaw if i had that much bud on me at one time and it was good quality herb i would buy a rosin press!!!! man im so excited about my potential 20 gram harvest i cant even imagine 25 oz's in my hands lmfao

From June 21 through December 21 the daily sunlight in the Northern Hemisphere is reduced daily- and more pronounced the further away from the equator.
Since cannabis is a warm weather plant- it seems that lowering the daily light would simply mimic nature- I believe Mother Nature has it correct and we are trying to mimic that environment-
I grow Indicas which are more reactive to the lower light times as they are usually grown in mountainous regions away from the equator-
sativas are generally grown outside closer to the equator so they may like the 12/12 schedule more-
Some varieties actually want to see less than 12 to even begin flowering-
I know this is a controversial subject- but my results are very good- judged by others- not just my opinion.
The bubble I make from the trim is outstanding- I really like it
40 plus years of experience- not a newbie here
