Hey all,

I was just wondering what is the longest flowering sativa you've ever seen or heard of.
These pics are of mine at 12 weeks and it just doesn't look done.

I'm going to harvest in 4 days anyway.

Thanks.

Yeah, I actually flushed a bit early because I thought it would be done sooner, so for the last 3 weeks I've been watering w/ molasses.

And it's soooooooooooooo tempting... It smells like candy. Delicious, mind-numbing candy!

My God. You have the patience of a saint. Do you think I'm looking at about 14 weeks to get the best product? Or do you think that if I go this weekend I'll still have a good yield with a good high?
 
Yeah 14 weeks is about as long as I think it should go for a sativa. Maybe just a bit longer if your conditions were a bit off. If you are having a long flowering sativa you think should finish just a little quicker try getting the temp down by like 5 degrees maybe.

Right on, thanks.

I have it in a closet, and I live in the northeast. Temps are good during the day, but the room cools down at night.

Is there any effectiveness to shortening the days by a half hour a week over the last 3 weeks or so, so I know for next time?
 
im sure it does lol. idk bout the light though its kinda trial in error at that point ive never heard of shortening the light by 30 a week but i have heard of giving it 24 hours of dark b4 harvest.
 
for my last 2 weeks i do 11 on 13 off as opposed to 12/12,
it would happen in nature all the way until 8 on 16 off where i live

should work fine and give them a slightly earlier finish with no decrease in yield or potency in my experience

I will, harvesting in 2 days.

If this stuff is as good as it looks, I'll do a grow journal next time.

Does anyone know offhand what a swollen yellow thing on the outside of the bud would be? A calyx?

Georgi,

Pic is attached. I don't see any pollen on my plant anywhere though, which makes me think it's not hermie?

LED: Thanks! You need to have a ton of patience to wait 16 weeks!!!

Thats a banana, so it is a hermie. At least it showed up late in the game rather than sooner. Go ahead and pluck it and keep searching for them until you finally chop.

DaveCoulier,

Thanks for the input.

I've done a lot of research and have seen that some sativa strains show the bananas reallllllly late, but are of no concern because they're hollow. I'm chopping in 2 days.

Should I still chance it at pulling off the 6-8 of them, or to hell with it and leave them?

I "popped" a few and there were no seeds, nor any pollen dust.

that's a banana alright...
terminate [the banana] with extreme prejudice.
:evil:

A male banana is a very slight male flower on a female marijuana plant that is formed because of stress. Usually they do not let out any pollen early enough to make seeds, but they sometimes do.
