I just wanted to say, Where as TD is obviously a great plant and a leap forward in automatics... Great, but the description should really be changed... everywhere i looked it was 9-10 weeks... Seymours grow went 75 and thats nearly 11 weeks... ok i was fine with that... no big deal... then little by little all these other grows come out 78, 80, 85,96, 100 DAYS!!! Besides the great smoke reports etc, i specifically got TD for the 9 - 10 week time frame as i was in a time frame... but everyone said "THE RARE" 100 day pheno... now the more grows i see coming out there are more closer to the 100 end then the 70 end... and now the one i went for, again a beautiful plant... strong... but today on day 40 it just started getting its white hairs showing female... There is no way she will be done in the 43 days i have left before i have to move wich means i wasted my money and my time (seeds, cfls, pot, soil, LED all bought new for this plant)... and will have nothing to show for it... cant even do a different one cause there are no 43 day wonders... Again, its a great plant... looks amazing... grows strong... but i think the 70-77 day phenos are the rare ones not the 100 day ones as more grows start popping up... most ive seen are 80 and up... all im saying is the description on all the seed sites etc should be updated... i would have picked another kind if i even knew anything above 80 days was even a chance... My fault of course for purchasing before more grows came out, but none the less, the next guy should know... just my 2 cents...

Welcome JurZ,

Seems like you might have the "rare" one. I think that most of the autos on the market can, and probably should go more than eight or ten weeks that are advertised. Even though they can be "ready" at the advertised time, by letting them go a little longer you can squeeze out some more bud, and tweak your smoke. What have you been feeding her??? Can you give some more details?

Let it go 40 of those 43 days and i think you will be amazed at how much bud you have to move with mate. My girl at 63 days now could easily be harvested and provide some great weed, top colas in particular are already 50% cloudy. Dont just scrap the plant. My first 3 TD I harvested at 70 days, then the lower buds a week later at 77. If you are concerned about it not finishing up in time, let it run 30 days or so then increase the dark period and start flush a cpl days early. you will definitely have some prime bud to enjoy. Personally im much more dissapointed with my fast bud #2 which is on about day 30 and only just put out a pistil. no chance of that being harvested in less than 60 days which they advertise. From the four TD plants I have harvested I would say 9 weeks will give you a great cerebral buzz then you are looking at up to 80 for maximum couchlock unless you get the 100 day pheno which definitely looks and matures noticeably different from others - its buds look more sativa looking to me. Seymours girl could have been harvested at day 63~ as he points out in his grow but he let it ride the full 11 weeks to see how much he could maximise his yield. Do NOT kill your girl!!!!

Wholeheartedly agree!!! Even though I can see JurZ's point, but it is nature after all not 100% predictable, It will def be some great daytime smoke for you!

Oh, there is no chance ill pull her before the absolute end of my available time... even miniscule bud will be better then none... at 40 days today she just showed her pistils... i 100% agree this is not dutch passions fault as i said i should have waited to see more grows... im just saying the descriptions the seedbanks give should be updated to tell you it may take up to 100 on occassion... like i said, its a beautiful very strong and vigorous plant... its not my methods, she is doing great, its the "nature" INH commented on... ive also done EZ RYDER, auto amnesia, and delehaze (not auto)... all over 120 grams dry... hell luck of the draw i guess... one of the other 3 seeds in the pack may have shown sex at 25 days... who knows... it may be of benefit to me as I AM ALL ABOUT CEREBRAL BUZZZ... i hate all body effects... I like the active and creative... Again, i meant nothing bad about the plant or DPassion... its a very impressive specimen... she's wider then she is tall too... very kool plant...

oh and if i end up being wrong and by some miracle she matures in under 5 weeks, I will be the first to pull my foot out of my mouth and admit it... oh, and i dont know why i kept writing 43 days... she is 40 days old and i have 33 days left till move wich would make her 73 days, id even say a little more cause i didnt start counting till the first set of real leaves showed, not the first 2 little round ones... i forget their names... anyways... :crossed:

i understand the concerns about finishing times, so on the new text we have for Think Different on our website we say http://www.dutch-passion.nl/en/seeds/product/think-different/

".........Think Different is the real surprise package in the Dutch Passion AutoFem collection. She has quickly established a great reputation for stunning yields and very strong weed. Even first time growers have achieved over 100g/plant and experienced growers can achieve 200g-300g+. She can grow over 1m tall in experienced hands and is a good alternative to traditional varieties, offering bumper harvests of strong cannabis just 10-11 weeks after seed germination......."

But we do indeed recognise that all auto's have the potential to go over that 10-11 week guideline by a couple of weeks sometimes. For what it is worth breeders have the same issues with traditional varieties, although a specific variety might have a bloom period of eg 8 weeks you often find people that have had to bloom them for a couple of weeks more than stated

I think it is an occupational hazard of growing, the need to allow for the possibility of an over-run in time required. At least the longer blooming Think Differents compensate you with extra bud.

good luck with it man

Heres hoping... :crossed: here she is at 40 days (probably a little more but since i started counting...) i hope she can drop me something before her times up...

sorry for the crappy pics, camera phone... oh and if she looks a little weird its just cause i tucked her fan leaves to get the pics...

I agree completely, but she can go 100 days, 11 weeks is still only 77, an extra three (14 total ) weeks is a little more then an over-run when maturity is expected or at least hoped for in 10... the seeds description should state this... 2 phenos...
