Not looking for an exact answer just an average answer for indoor grown bagseed under fluoros, she started a light cycle of 16/8 at 3 weeks didnt show pistills till about 4 1/2 weeks she is now 6 weeks and has a lot of white pistills everywhere and the buds are about the size of the tip of my pinky, the cola the size of my thumb, so i wonder about how much more time to go, i know i cant harvest until the trichs are amber and the hairs have turned darker in color but what do you guys think, about how much more time till harvest? 1 month 2,3? She is indica also

You can expect a min of 8-10 weeks. You said 18/6 but not 12/12, what are you using?

I didnt say 18/6 i said 16/8 and if you had read the post i said im using fluoros sheesh i dont like 12/12 i think better results are achieved at less light just my opinion, i have read that most indica takes 7-8 weeks before its ready to harvest so why would it still be another 2 months min? that seems like a long time to me. Im not arguing just saying, i figured it had about 5-6 weeks

I've never seen somebody say 16/8. it sounds like you have it backwards anyway. Everybody I talk to says how long on/how long off. So to me that means 16 on and 8 off, thats not more dark than light.. I didn't say anything about the lights. I have a bagseed indica that was 7 weeks yesterday and by the looks of it I need 2 more so thats 9 weeks. Don't say your "Not looking for an exact answer just an average answer". Then give me shit;-):peace:

NO god thats dumb, 16 off 8 on didnt think i would have to EXPLAIN since i said it was in flowering most people kinda get it but apparently you arent most people so i will forgive you. Sorry for not explaining in more detail for people like you. I wasnt trying to give you shit on anything i was exchanging my thoughts with yours and others, you asked what i was using so i assumed you meant lights and i had already explained that.

Go to 12/12 its PROVEN BY SCIENCE to work much better. Science is better than any anecdotal evidence any day. The plant only needs 12 hours of darkness to bring the auxins ( The hormone that makes it produce flowers) to peak levels. Like Olosto said , your losing energy..IE growth energy.

Your a week and a half into flower, you will need to flower approx 60 days for Indica give or take some, its never the same. It should stop stretching in 2 weeks or so then it will start putting on weight, it packs on the most weight the last 3 weeks usually. Figure you have another 6 weeks to go (50 days). have patience.

little dude sounds like he doesn't really want any advice from us "dumb" people, so why bother? not even a thanks for the advice he/she was given, but rather an immediate and tacky bitch-fest. tsk tsk.

I also assumed 16 on 8 off. You are not using common terminology. Lighten up.
