Flowering First Week Help..

[jimmiej48]

First week in flower room and my og kush is showing her female strain love it.. really looking to know how long being my first year grow and all that I should be in flower.. I put the plants into flower from an 18-6 lighting to a 12-12 and with in 3 days theres showing there stuff : ) would like to know how far I can stretch my flower growth and best time to call it done.. rapid growth is all I can say.. very happy with this site as ive been using it for about 6 months and I'm getting closer to harvest. ive had 4 straight successful clones from the info ive gotten on here and couldn't be most happy thanks everyone you are are awesome..

Go buy a pocket microscope at radio shack and watch the trichomes they will first get cloudy then towards the very end amber most strains run anywhere from 50 to 65 days some go well into the 70s and 80s.

'its done when its done'

 

like asking how many days until a watermelon is ripe.

 

some people take a bud off and quick dry it , then test it to see if its ready or not.

also some parts of the plant will ripen before other parts.

 

what a pain it all is!!

 

the gw pharma thesis paper had a nice graph on this. but it was only for their strains.

The amount of stretch is determined by genetics, growing style (hydro,dirt) and distance from the light...Some strains 4X their height or more during flower....HJ
