I am coming to the end of my season, I was growing afghan and power kush. I harvested the afghan, it had lavender resin coated hairs, so beutiful, and very ready. and power kush. These two strain both had a similar fowering period, both 45-55 days. Now the power kush, is still flowering, its not ready, im pretty sure, i checked the trichs a couple days ago and they were not yet all milky and/or amber. and the hairs, well theres more white hairs than orange. I want at least 80 percent of the hairs to be orange. the description of the power kush says "They flower quickly, producing a harvest of buds covered in white and orange hairs,"... So why was the afghan ready. and power not? if both have flowering periods of 45-55 days. and i started flowering nov 22. or maybe even a week before, cant remeber for sure. 56-66 days. whats up is it ready even though the hairs arent mostly orange? is is supposed to have a mix of white and orange, and the white will never change?
thank you grasscity. so very much, for all your help throught this grow. and all the help i know i will recieve with the next. I hope you all get me. This applicant has been turned off from grasscity, they have lost interest, and have decide to go to the vastly superior rollit up.org ever heard of it? No for real tho, is this guy serious? ^ i never heard of a landrace strain with a flowering time of 30 days, no strains for that matter, maybe w/ lowryders, but i dnt think so, so, anybody with a educated backed up answwer.
Hey man, the breeder or website or wherever you got it from might not of grown that strain themselves and might not of been certain on the time, and just compared it to the others. Just keep growing it out for as long as it takes until suffice. Don't go by exactly what details say, they are just used to make you interested in that strain. Any more questions?
Don't always believe what the seed companies tell you, let the plant tell you when it's ready to be harvested.
one of my ladies is way behind "schedule" but every plant is different. be patient, be deligent, be rewarded! trust.
I know this is an old thread but I want to jump in anyway.. Ive just finished some power kush and some were cloudy/amber at day 50 the others day 58, Ive grown nearly all the dinafem strains and their usually fairly acurate with the flowering time guesstimates but different phenotypes within that strain may need more or less flower time. Most of the dinafem fem seeds typically have two noticable phenos, one more indica, which needs less flowering time or two more sativa, which needs a longer flowering period. Ive had a moby hash plant go 90 days, says 65-75 on the website, patience is a virtue but is damn hard waiting an extra few weeks when the previous batch has almost run dry but it was well worth the wait
I have Afghan Kush going now, I THINK. Got the feminized beens from FemaleSeeds Co. They call it Pure AK. They also say it's mostly Sativa. WTH?? Isn't AK short for Afghan Kush? Isn't Afghan Kush an indica? The plants are heavyweights for sure and grow as an indica except that they are about to finish week 11 of 12/12 and not an amber trich to be found. The fan leaves all fell over a week ago, the plant looks very, very ripe until I put the scope on it and see no amber. I'm confused....
I have 2 afghan Kush autos. Same thing here, over 60 days in flower and just saw an amber Trich today..
I agree with you guys about just reading the plants and not believing everything seed companies say. Some breeders are more experienced than others and some companies just flat out lie.. Currently I'm working on Sour Bubblegum form BOG seed company; the package read ready in 7-8 weeks and i'm on the 10th week+... wtf!! the trichomes are milky but not many if any amber heads.. Anyone know how long it takes milky trichs to start going amber?
Just checked mine this morning, got 1 or 2 orange trichs showing up, not long left now. How you guys holding up?
Im 7 1/2 weeks in and everything is looking great!Cant wait to harvest,no amber trich's yet though.The full indica strain should b done within another week or two.Ill post Picts soon
Yea ill get some of mine up soon as well, good to hear that there some folk growing same strain. I just have two but one is def a week behind.
Hey man i gotta question. I'm growing Pakistani Valley Afghan and AK48. Pak valley is beautifully coming along early. But Afghan my personal favorite sprouted about 2 days later. Looks like a 2 week difference. Their well taken care of. But Afghani is just a runner root not even vertical yet. Pak has even shed it's helmet lol. But how long did your Afghani take to split and take off? Kinda nervous my 600 hps will be here Tuesday to back up the LED
