New Grower I probably should have waited until fall...

How long it will take to ripen is like asking how long is a rope? Howie Long is a china man . Forget the calendar the breeders time frame is only a guesstimate. Strain, light and temperature all play a role in the ripening process. Warm conditions speed the process up and cooler ones slow it down. I always do a 3 day flush in DWC or other hydro methods. Watch the trichomes with a Lupe, pay attention to how fast they go from all cloudy to 10% amber and you will have a good idea how long it will take to get to 20%. Plan your flush accordingly to harvest at the desired amber level.

Good advice, MOG. Thank you. That's a good reference to use.

Tbh I can't really tell as there's no reference scale in your pics. For me, whole 18" branches were budding and the last few weeks until flush was all fattening / filling in. View attachment 953507View attachment 953514View attachment 953515View attachment 953516View attachment 953522

Thanks Jrok. I was hoping you would say they buds grew a lot of height in the last three weeks, because there is no way I have 18 inch buds. I have a lot of them but the longest is probably 6 inches. Probably a result of the heat stress. Oh well, we knew she wouldn't be 7 ounces. I would be happy as hell with 3, but may have to adjust my hope down to two based on where your plants were at the same point.

Thanks for the encouragement and Rep, Kreature! That means a lot coming from you with how your plants turned out! Keep it green, my friend!

Question: do you flush with the same light schedule? Keep it at 12/12 or do something different?

Also, can I increase the lights at this stage of flowering, knowing my plants have photo characteristics?

Yes and No. Keep the light schedule the same. Photoperiod plants will re-veg if you give them too much day.

I usually flush for 3-5 days: 3 for hydro / 5 for soilless/soil. I also do an extended dark for 48hrs from the final lights out before chop/trim. This could just be the 'old school photo guy' left in me, but it used to be a thing...

Don't change the light schedule, move the lights a tiny bit closer if you're brave, but keep a super close eye on the tall bits for burn/stress. At this point it's all patience, especially for the CP... she'll fatten up lots more over the next few weeks, I was pretty shocked.. Yours was delayed in veg by your heat issues, but with the super-stout stature you've got, you may end up with some beercan buds after all - time will tell.
