I'm just about to harvest tomorrow on day 80 of flower , 00 seed company said flowering period is between 50 & 60 days , and I can't help but wonder why the flowering period stated by the seed company is always much longer than stated, or is this just my stain a 00 seed Kush ??? it would help out if they were on target so it would help with flushing and expectancy of harvest..what are your thoughts??
Ha, it's simple if you really think about it, most grower's wants a plant that's going to finish as fast as possible, so the seed company's understand this so they tell you..."Yes sir our plant finishes in 50 to 60 days" now even though this may be true what they don't tell you is if you were to wait an extra 10 days an extra 20 days that's when the plant is at its most mature and its most potent, that's the part they leave out, you know why cuz it's all about the Benjamins baby.
One day we'll all know a breeder who supplies us unlimited seeds for free and bust all them wide open.
There are ways to deliver flowering nutrients early on in the growth cycle that will result in a shorter height growth and faster harvest time in flower. However this will result in smaller yields and subpar quality.
it's the same deal with homebrew beer kits, I don't believe a word of it now! If the box says fermentation completed after 4-6 days, expect 2 weeks. If it says 5%abv, expect 4-4.5%...
