Approaching day 70 of flower, nowhere near ready?

Monday will be day 70 of flower. From sign of sex, not from the flip. Almost all the trichs are clear. Maybe 10% are cloudy. And the pistils are still almost all white. I'd read that usually 70 days is the longest a plant will usually take. I feel like she might have possibly up to 3 weeks left, maybe more. What does everyone else think? This is my first grow so i really have no idea.

Oh bro,

sorry to tell you this but your not going to get shit from that plant. After it dries you will have very little quality smoke, not saying it won't get you high, just not much of it.
I guess let it keep going until you have the trichs you like. Man sorry, I just had a round of Super Silver haze that looked like that 45 days in, I could not take it so I just killed all three clones. Such is life..JR

Curious as to why you'd say that? This plant is huge...

He said that because the calyxs have are not swollen very much at all. Those buds are mostly pistils- which make them look fairly large now but as soon as you dry that plant it is gonna dwindle away 2 nothin..

How would he go about making sure the buds did swell?? And what caused this to happen in the first place?

Too much Nitrogen not enough potassium I believe it was did exactly that too me once. And from a glance at the leafs she looks a bit burnt and there seems to be an incredibly high amount of nitrogen remaining in the plant for it being this far into flower. What'd ya feed her?

Wow we have some real intelligent answers here. I would say your estimate of 3 weeks til finish is about right. That would explain the lack of swollen calyxes as the brain surgeon stated a couple posts above me. The buds will swell when they near completion which, as we estimated, will be in a few weeks and as far as not getting much bud from the plant I will say you are looking at at least 2 zips. Nice plant and let this thread stand as a lesson to get a few opinions before making a decision when asking for advice on this site.

Whats up unsnc? I see what you got going there. can you provide me with some more info (such as nutes being used, temps, lighting, and PH) so that i can further assist u? you say its 70 days in from sexing not from flip. some ppl dont seem to understand what ppl mean when they say its a 60 day strain or a 75 or even 90 etc. That means it takes 60 or 75 days from flip. What did u do? did u put plants in photoperiod for sexing then re veg? Id say the need a good 3 to 4 weeks. its clearly a hybrid. What strain is she? I also you shes foxtailing could be due to heat. what kinda ventilation u got going on there?

I'd say your right 3+ weeks, you m,easure weeks from when you flipped to 12-12.
I'd cut back completly on any nitrogen nutes. Get some high potassium nutes to finish off. 0-0-10 or something like that.
Nice grow if that's a cfl ony grow.

I'll admit I let my lights get a little too close and burn a handfull of leaves. She seems to be mainly sativa. I'd have to go out of town for the weekend, set the lights where I think it'd be safe, come home and shed grown more than I thought she would. I'm using DWC. Feeding with the Lucas formula. I know shes got some nute burn, and some other problems. This is just my first grow. Bagseed. I really just did this grow to do one all the way to the end, so I can practice all the way thru drying and curing. Before I invest some actual money in this. This whole set up cost me maybe 80 bucks total.

Shes bagseed from straight up schwag. Temps range from 70-79 now. But when I first started, spent most of its time around 89-92. PH is at a steady 6. And I'm using all CFLs. I've really learned a lot thru this grow and think my next one will be more succesful. I'm definitely gonna invest in an HPS. These CFLs just aren't giving me the bud I wanted. But then again, I really blame a lot of that on genetics. Cause I've seen a lot of good things done with CFLs.

The cola is rediculous. 19 inch in diameter, and 15 inches tall.

I can tell they had been thru some heat stress. ur doing the rite thing on here read read read and ask as many ?s possible no ? is a dumb one. Also CFL are ok i have also seen some nice grows from cfl but not if your plants are too big you would need the cfls all over the plant that may be why they are so airy and the bottoms are so small. HPS is def the way to go. I use T8's for vegging but thats about it unless maybe some cfl's at the bottom. how many watts are you currently using there. that will also reflect on your yields. Just give it some time and keep digesting as much knoledge as possible. ur next one will be better. feel free to holler at me for any info or ?s you may have. I dont know the answer i will find it.

Dang man! +rep for getting such a nice looking gal from schwag. I'd say you're closer to 6-7 weeks in. Good job for a first grow!

My guess is genetics as well. I have a cab with basically 7 different strains and 9 weeks into flowering. Some plants are in their final days untill harvest while at least 1 plant still has probably at least 3 weeks left and looks like it doesnt have any weight yet at all (like yours). Its also a sativa strain
