hi all! this is my first grow and i've been following the 'seymour buds' method of LED and DWC. i'm on day 60 of my think different grow and am curious how much longer you experienced and knowledgeable growers think she'll take. she's approximately 21" high and 26" wide and seems to have quite a number of bud sites and started to get some sugar on the leaves in the past few days. here are some pics, let me know how much longer you think she's got in her. i'm hoping another 35 +/- days. also my greatest appreciation and thanks to seymour buds for all the inspiration and information. that dude rules.
Dutch Passion are we there yet? think different at day 60 with led and dwc.

That's a fine looking plant gbd.... Very healthy looking.. Unlike my TD's... What sort of juice are your LEDs pushing coz her buds look a tad small for day 60... For me she still looks a good way off being ready... Seymour took his to day 85 if I remember correct... Mine are day 59... Smaller & ill looking Lolz... Got a couple of nice fat colas & some nice chunky buds but my girls are way smaller... I stunted them... Real bad... Good luck dude

thanks kush t! for the first 35-40 days she was under a blackstar 240w model. then i added a 345w penetrator, and just a few days ago added another 205w penetrator. they were both purchased used and the 345w has two 'clusters' of LEDs that i can't seem to get lit. i've disconnected and reconnected the power supply and tried other power supplies, so it's something to do with the wiring connecting the diodes. the three lights together pull 583w on the killawatt meter. i also have a 6 spot blackstar chrome model in the tent vegging two little TD's, for a total of 707 actual watts. hopefully that'll be enough to pull me through flowering. :thumbs: i've been seeing other TD's growing to 100 days or so and some classified as 'super autos'. i overwatered (kept the water too high in the bucket) for a few days, which may have added additional time to my grow. i'm pretty sure it's finished stretching, so i've moved the lights from 18" away to 12" away, then noticed flowers stacking on top of each other, so moved them up to 14". not sure if i should raise them more or leave them be. time (and better growers) will tell.
DutchPassionTony,
anything new with that TD in the middle east that the brother chopped half of?
do you know of any other TD's taking their time to mature? if you have any advice or words of wisdom i'm all ears!
thanks guys!
what day did they show sex/start to flower? seymours were around day 18 but mine went to day 25 before they started to show sex. i think mine are at around day 85 2 of my 3 are now chopped. If you have time to spare when you are ready for harvest then I would suggest harvesting the top fattest buds off each branch and allowing the others another 10-14 days to fatten up and mature. It was definitely worth it for my grow and I believe has added another ounce to my yield. So thats 60 days of flowering for mine. Your buds however look very immature, barely more than a cluster of pistils yet. What bloom nutrients are you using, what are your pH and EC levels like? Have you hit it with pk13/14 yet? I think your wish for another 35 days of flower will prob come true as to my eye it has at least 4-5 weeks of flowering left in it. Perhaps your particular girl is simply a slow starter. Its worth sharing some more info about your grow though as its likely to help you increase your yield. You are bathing that plant in a shitload of LED goodness, you really want to be sure you are getting the best bang for your buck.
How do the roots look? What size airpump are you using to aerate the bucket? Are you using rhizotonic or similar to stimulate the roots. How much feed is she drinking per day? How often are you changing your nutrients out? I found with my buckets a few times at diff points in the grow that things would stall unless i dumped the bucket completely and started with a fresh mix. Lovely big plant though mate , she is going to yield great for you im sure!

BB! thanks for the reply! she showed sex around day 26 and i switched to flowering nutes on day 40. they didn't start to stretch until after the switch to flowering nutes, so maybe i should've left them on veg nutes longer. i'll definitely consider harvesting the top buds first and allowing the rest to continue when the time comes, but how does that work with flushing?
in her res currently are:
rhizo
silica
cal/mg
carbo load
superior potash
and canna flores.
her ph has stayed around 5.9 since flowering, only dropping when she was running low on water. her ppm is currently 752. i have pk13/14 but am unsure when to use it, but figured it'd be too early for that. she's definitely been a slow starter/grower. the roots look decent. my pump is 65 l/min and she's drinking about 3 liters a day. i've been changing nutes every 4-7 days, depending on fluctuation. my last res went from 740 ppm to 690 overnight, then hovered around 610 for 2 or 3 days. don't know if this is a sign of anything, but she's got a fresh res now.
thanks again! all advice is welcome!
this is my first grow and the plant seems plenty hardy for my torture and abuse. i'd say go for it and best of luck to you!
I think she has a ways to go, but in the next two weeks she will fatten up ALOT!!! There was a TD on here that I think went to almost 100 days, I could be wrong), but those buds can mature alot. I would not cut for a while. Really trick lookin LEDs man, your set up looks great!
