Aeroponic grow cycle question

Hi all,

I was just curious if aeroponic grows finish faster. Particularly the flowering cycle. First time using aero, and my GG auto seems to be finished or very close to it only 52 days into flowering. It definitely grew like a sativa, super tall. My definition of finished is the calyxes have swelled over the pistils and the buds are very frosty with milky trichomes. No new white pistils shooting out anymore and the buds have not grown any in size in the last week. Wondering if I should chop her or wait the full 60-65 days of flowering. Ive seen a lot of people say that with hydro, the flowering time is the same as soil. Ive also read that with some aero setups plants can go from seed to finished in as little as 60 days. Not really a lot of good info out there on the subject.

Thanks in advance!

NO
There are no secret short cuts or methods since the invention of the internet
Hydro has faster growth in veg all are the same in flower given a good environment
Most say soil has better flavor :hug:

Thanks for the clarification. This lady grew like a freaking rocket. 4x4 tent and the stretch took her all the way to the roof. I had to supercrop 2 colas that would have been right up on the light. It wasn't light induced stretch, thats just how this pheno grew and overtook the other 3 plants. Ive decided to chop at 60 days including the 2 days with the light off to regain terps that get baked off from the light and heat. Certainly looks ready now, but I will wait it out.
