Hi. I’m on week five and all of my hairs are orange.
Give it another 2-3 weeks… you’ll be pleasantly surprised
Have you checked trichomes? Also it might be a longer flower due to genetics
Some just take longer, I’ve had one that took 16wks from the first sight of flowers. That was after 4 weeks of veg and about 2 weeks pre flower.
Have patience
Wait
Feed her well.
Keep airflow good.
Genetics.
She’s probably a 10-12 week flower. But damn those buds will be great. Do not stray the path good sir. You are almost there.
Keep doing what your doing and be patience. You got a month at least. Good luck💨💨💨
Keep on keeping on
I had 4 big girls do this on my last run. I turned the lights down 25% and took them through 11 weeks. I don’t know if it made a difference but it was fire in the end. They probably have some time left if you want to keep going but it’s also totally valid to look at this like it isn’t a variable and harvest when ready. You can harvest today or go for a week or two either way you have some beautiful plants and this grow is already a success.
Hurry up and wait…….
Paint them
If you are running.co2 lower the levels to 400
Lower your light from 12/12, to 10 hours on and 14 hours off. Your plant will produce more florigen and mature faster. I learned this from Scotty real on YouTube
Mate you need to check the trichomes I’ve had a few phenos on different occasions go fully ripe and still have quite a number of white pistils those trichomes look quite milky even from the photos
Let her finish
You got to check the trichomes bro! No one on reddit can tell you. My personal opinion is you have 2 weeks left atleast
Your leaves are still stacked very tight, you’re nearing the end of mid bloom.
Calyxes still haven’t formed, and started to fold out.
2-3 weeks at least.
Sometimes.
The plants need a little more time. I recommend.
Giving it a few more 2-3 weeks and then cut it on the full moon of that month. So I looked September 7 is the next full moon either.You can cut it then or october 7. Interesting them both being on the seventh. It makes a big difference cutting it on the week of the full moon. I would give it till september and then look at the tricomes under the jeweler’s microscope.
It must be the first grow??trust me I know how u feel patience groomie
As long as at least 50% of the hairs have turned brown/red, the rest will follow after you harvest….
Looks like my sour Maui just a longer running strain
Some cultivars will push white pistils for months even after they’re done. Gmo is a perfect example. It goes 12 weeks but will still be pushing pistils.
Only way to know for sure is to look at the resin head color.
Shes not even close
Yup, patience. Let it finish
Let the medium dry out more in between waterings and watch them ripen up. Trust me
You got about 19 days left er so
How long is she supposed to go?
Patience and knowledge of the strain, some benefit from knocking down to 10 or 8hours light towards the end few weeks to alert it to know the season is over. Some NOT ALL! This is definitely not a rule but some definitely benefit.
stop holding your breath and let it ride my boy. everybody gets themselves caught up in wanting to harvest early (even myself) but like others in this post are saying. patience is a virtue
Give em a little colder water and reduce light. It helps bring em home
Wait longer. She’s not ready.
My fertilizer recommends you go to day 70 every grow. You’re fine .as long as they are eating they are growing .
Your doing great just keep letting it grow man 👍
She just takes time man sit back let her get chunky. Its hard to wait but youll kick yo self in the ass if you dont
This is just the way it is dude. Even when you buy seeds that say 8 weeks, that is more of a minimum. They only say that so they sell more. I very rarely harvest at the advertised flowering time. Some races can take up to 16 weeks to finish. Your hairs are starting to retract though so just keep an eye on the trichomes. She looks to be fading too. She will be done before you know it.
She’s not ready. Simple as that, your plant will tell you exactly when she done, not a time frame. Not only will she mature with more time but also fatten up alot in this time also. Best advice I was given was .. when I think it’s done, give it another week. This is not there yet. Let her grow, she gorgeous. Only improves with full maturity,
Patience
Patience… like everyone else said. Be watching your trichchomes everyday. Once I see around 10-20% amber trichs I figure it’s time to pull em.
Can’t just go by pistil color or amount of white pistils. It’s part of it but just a piece of the whole picture.
Looks good though my dude! Keep it up!
Pistil color is not the right indicator. Get a way to magnify and look at the trichome heads. Clear is early, cloudy is nearly there, and mostly cloudy with about 30% amber is my sweet spot. Trichome color is a better indicator than pistil color, as some pistils may go brown prematurely or stay white past the prime
Keep going
White hairs mean nothing other than active receptors for pollen, pay attention to your trikes they will tell you when your ready to harvest
Looking good. I’m in the same spot with two plants right now – cock and ball torture haha
Hang in there wait a bit
Be patient
